don't waste your time or money on this garbage. glad i only spent 10$ on mine, i only wasted 9.99$. the single taper on them drives to one side never letting you cut an even slice of anything. try to cross cut a pound of bacon and all you get is the teeth-like serrations all clogged up, making the knife as useful as a baseball bat. no knife stays sharp, simply get a nice sharpener and a good knife, or just go out to eat.

This knife set is great! It is a good deal for the money, and am very satisfied with it.
Rating: - Great Buy!
These knives are an excellent value. I read several of the product reviews before I purchased these knives and found the reviews to be right on the mark. The company, J. A. Henckels, is well respected and the product lives up to their excellent reputation.
Rating: - Not a fan of serrated knives
I've had this knife set for more than 2 years, and they've been pretty good. They aren't quite as sharp as they used to be, though you can still cut (by tearing), since they're serrated.
I didn't realize these were serrated - I just saw that they were Henckels and on sale. Next time, read the description carefully.
Most of the people who have used these knives haven't been really impressed with them. Unlike unserrated knives, these require a slight sawing motion to cut; it makes a mess of slicing tomatoes. It's very difficult to sharpen serrated knives, so you'll have to get it done by a professional.
If I'd known that these were serrated, I wouldn't have bought them so I could save my money for a real Henckels set.
Also, the additional cheese knife doesn't fit into the block, so some knife has to go in a drawer.
Rating: - Wow!
These knives are ULTRA SHARP! I have to be really careful when washing these, and I've never had that problem with other knives. They are just great!
