Product Description

,Furi Rachael Ray Gusto-Grip 3-Piece Knife Set,Wusthof Grand Prix II 7-Inch Hollow Ground Santoku,Wusthof Gourmet Nakiri Vegetable Knife,Wusthof Classic 5-Inch Hollow Ground Santoku Knife, Review Henckels is acknowledged as one of the world’s finest cutlery manufacturers of high-end knives. Henckels developed its International line, featuring knives that still perform admirably in the kitchen, for a more moderate price. This seven-piece Classic set is manufactured using high-carbon stainless steel, a premium material, but one that’s of slightly lesser quality than the company’s other cutlery lines. The knives are well balanced in the hand, with narrow yet still heavy handles for thorough slicing. The set includes a 4-inch paring knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 7-inch hollow-edge santoku, and an 8-inch chef’s knife. A 9-inch sharpening steel keeps their edges in order, and a pair of kitchen shears to snip herbs, flowers, or string is also included. Everything stores neatly in an attractive natural hardwood block. The variety of knives gives you an arsenal to handle virtually any kitchen task, from slicing vegetables and meat to mincing garlic to dividing a long loaf of French bread. Durable and attractive, the knives feature Henckels’ trademark black polypropylene handles, each fastened by three rivets to the fully visible tang. While the knives are dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. Like all Henckels knives, this cutlery set carries a lifetime warranty. –Rivers Janssen

These knives were really nice looking and felt good in the hand…much like the Henckels Pro S line, but they were not very sharp. This could have just been a bad set, but that may be due to lower standards at the manufacturing facility in Spain. I recommend spending the extra few bucks and getting the Henckels Four Star knives made at the original facility in Germany. When I got the Four Star set they were razor sharp, felt great and worked beautifully. There is a reason the International line is so much cheaper…
