What do you ask from a steak knife?
It must cut.
It must be easy to wash.
This set of knives does both and at about thirty bucks!
For the money you can't go wrong with these. Granted, they are not for your formal place setting, but for every day use they are more than adequate. They are not only sharp but are also dishwasher safe.
You can't go wrong with these.

Well, it's a flatware tray. It's a pretty standard size and should fit in your drawer, and you shouldn't have any problem fitting your utensils in as long as you don't have any oversized serving spoons, etc. It was quite a bit larger than I expected, but that's not a bad thing. The construction is sturdy (actually pretty heavy for wood tray) but aside from that, there's not much here. I gave it four stars, only because it's pretty bland. Yes, it's a flatware tray, but it's also 12 bucks. I saw a slightly cheaper mesh metal tray here on Amazon, and that had a bit more character to it (although the metal would probably be a bit more abrasive on the utensils.) Just something to consider. It gets the job done, but it'd be more worth the money if it was stained or painted black or something. Other than that, it's a fine product.

The bottom line:
- Large, sturdy, quality flatware tray.
- A bit bland for the price, but still worth it.

This is the third set of Henckels International Everedge knives I have purchased. They are used in a corporate work environment & for the price have served us well. They have retained their edge while being used for basic breakfast/lunch employee prep.

These knives are very sharp and sturdy. In addition to all the other reviews, I wanted to point out a few things that may not be apparent prior to purchasing:

1. The handles are all the same size and length for all four knives. If you're used to handles that are about the same length as the blade, this may come as a surprise. It's not a bad thing; it just takes some getting used to (especially with the smallest curved blue knife.)

2. The blade is on the opposite side of what a novice might first think. (I don't know why, but many people think the curved side of the blade is the sharp side. It isn't. Don't cut your fingers.)

3. There are two versions of this color four-piece paring knife set. One is made by J.A. Henckels (the higher quality brand made only in Germany) and the other by Henckels International (the value brand made in China.) They are not the same set of knives, but they look almost identical and come in similar packaging. I noticed that some of the reviewers had some negative comments, and I presume that they might have mistakenly been referring to the Henckels International version, widely available at Target, or possibly one of the many copycat versions not made by Henckels at all.

Hope this note is helpful for those looking to purchase the right set of paring knives.

Happy cooking!

WOW! This is an incredible sharpener. I sharpened all my knives and wow what a difference. I bought one for myself and another to give to someone.

After reading all the good reviews and looking at the picture, I thought this would be a great choice for me. Unfortunately, the block only fit two of my larger knives, leaving 4 big knives without a home. Maybe if there were room for 4 or 5 larger knives I would have made due and gotten rid of a redundant knife or two, but as it was, this block is useless.

Strangely, there was enough room on the rightmost column of slots that the slots could have been made sufficiently wide for my needs. For whatever reason, they didn't design it for my selection of knives. Oh well.

All that said, it seemed like a nice enough block otherwise.

Bought this set based on reading reviews off Amazon because as a steak lover, it was about time I got knives that don't make cutting through meat a chore. I've had these for a few months now and so far am not disappointed. I use them on a daily basis, run them through the dishwasher sometimes (I usually hand wash my good knives) and so far they are still as shiny as the day I got them. Awesome.
