These are very poor quality- made in China not real Henckels. Out of the factory sealed box, my knives were tarnished, rusty, and had notches in them. Appears they are not inspected at all. Do not be deceived by any sale. They never sold at the initial value- very deceiving.

I bought this set a couple of months ago the knives developed rust spots almost immediately. When I exchanged them, the second set had the same problem: RUST! The steak knives are very cheaply made and will dent easily, but more importantly, if you leave any of the knives in the sink overnight, by the next morning you’ll find rust spots all over them. This is truly an inferior product.

I purchased this knife set as a Christmas gift for my sister and I have to say…I should have listen to the reviews. My sister is so nice and she did not say anything but as I visited her place the other night I saw it. Rust on the knives!! And, in less than a 2 weeks!! Please, do not waste your money. Look for other sets. I should have.

Don’t buy these knives! They are the worst knives we have ever owned. First off, it says they won’t rust. They lie. Even if you wash them and put them in a dish dryer with the tips down to dry, they rust. The rust is almost impossible to get off too. Also within a few uses they are beyond dull. Even using a sharpener they don’t seem to be sharp again. Save your money and buy ceremic knives or go to Walmart and buy something cheaper, they will probably work better!

Well, these are definitely sharper than your ordinary knives (I sliced off part of a nail into the nail bed before I could react). The quality is what I expected–very durable, nice construction. It’s a great complete set–I haven’t thought of another knife I need at this time (it might come up in the future, but this is a fine starter set). I would buy it again.
