HENCKELS Forged Elite Razor-Sharp 2-Piece Santoku Knife Set, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery

Knives are sharp and very light weight. Very easy to use. The handle seems well balanced and easy to rock when cutting fruits and veggies. The knife has these indented markers which seem to slice with easy. Would reccomend

Awesome knives. This is the second time I buy a knife from this seller. I have a total of 3 now and have been raving about them to family. Super easy to use. Good balance and weight. Size is perfect even for smaller hands. Look great on my knife display. Super sharp and keep sharp even after lots of use.

I love these knives. Brand new and slices beautifully!Fit well in the hand.

Replaced a couple of 20+ year old knives with these. The price was right, and the brand seems to have a solid reputation. They arrived very sharp, and ready to do some cutting. The blade on the larger knife has a good heavy feel to it, which I like, but I tend to use the smaller blade much more. Both slice through raw chicken breasts without problem. Normally I semi freeze to assist with slicing thin- not necessary now. No problem with control. A magnetic wall mounted knife holder works well in keeping them secured and at your fingertips. Cleaning is a breeze but do mind the blade; does not take much pressure before you find yourself seeking a bandage. The only downside I have found is a somewhat light feeling handle, (feels partially hollow). Perhaps this is for balance reasons, but the way I hold a knife when cutting personally throws the term, "a well-balanced knife", into the rubbish bin. I prefer solid and heavy through and through. You cannot go wrong with this pair. I do recommend, but there are better for the same price. A recent purchase of a 3-piece Piklohas set for about the same price has impressed me, whereas with the Henckels I thought I would be more impressed.

These are a high-quality knife set. Edge retention is superb, they stay sharp with little sharpening effort across ceramic sticks or a honing rod. Very balanced in the hand and effortlessly cut through meat and vegetables. Great price for this quality set of knives.

These shivs are awesome. Well balanced and sharp out the box. This is my "go to" instrument if an intruder stupidly wanders into my house in the middle of the night.

I've had Henckel knifes for 30 years & wanted to replace a few. Purchased this set as replacements. A bit disappointing as they were not as heavy as my old ones. Also didn't have a good feel to them while cutting or holding.The large 7" santoku is far superior, handling veggies & raw meats easily, wish it was heavier. The smaller struggles with simple kitchen cutting/chopping, I think it is a knife weight issue & edge issue. Also after using both these knifes for just 30 days the sharpness/edge has gone away especially on the 5" knife, the 7" is not far behind in dulling.Bottom line these knifes are too expensive to loose there edge in 30 days. I would NOTrecommend them.

Theses knives are very sharp and of excellent quality! I purchased them to be able to cut through an entire bulb of garlic with paper in place like Gordon Ramsay on his Youtube video making short ribs! It worked! I highly recommend these knives!
