Henckels Premio 14-pc. Metal Cap Knife Set Review

Henckels Premio 14-pc. Metal Cap Knife Set
Average Reviews:

Bought these because I needed something after I took a 3 month temp job and didn't want to move a lot of stuff. The knives are nicely balanced, but heavy - if you like a light weight set these are not for you. Their ability to remain sharp is in question - I have to use the steel pretty much every other use. In fairness- this is their recommended interval on the instructions but it would seem that they should hold an edge for longer than that. Two disappointments - they stain easily and often, tomatoes leave a noticeable stain that takes some work with a scouring pad to remove. Unless you wipe them immediately after use it will leave a mark. I haven't put them in the dishwasher - they're always hand cleaned but I'd be really reluctant to try the dishwasher after the staining issues I've had in normal use. The second is that although they're touted as being made from "Genuine Solingen Steel" (it was printed on at least one of the packages) they're in fact made in China.

I bought another set of Henckel knives 25 years ago and have decided to get a new set. This is not because the others didn't work, they did. I lost my paring knife and decided to treat myself to a whole new set. The Forged Premio set is just what I was looking for. They feel great, cut great, are a good price and they are well made. I love them. Henckels is a fabulous company. I broke the point off of my old paring knife, sent it back to the company and they sent me a brand new one, no charge. You can't go wrong with that. I highly recommend these knives and this company.

Nicely affordable and offering a modern style, this 13-piece Forged Premio block set includes the knives you'll use most to prepare meals in your kitchen as well as six steak knives. This set includes 8-inch chef, 7-inch santoku, 5-inch serrated utility, and 3-inch paring knives plus the six steak knives, 9-inch sharpening steel, a pair of kitchen shears, and a hardwood storage block.

The professional-quality Premio's forged construction and full bolster results in a highly durable and balanced blade. The satin-finish, stainless steel blade provides precise cutting, peeling, and slicing action. Its full tang handle features an ergonomically rounded, three-rivet design in black that's completed with a metal end cap that displays the J.A. Henckels logo. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended. Made in Germany.

J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Synergy 17-Piece Knife Block Set Review

i just got this set for my new apartment, and overall, i'm really happy with it. the knives are very sharp, ergonomically well designed, and look pretty on the counter. that being said, you should know that this set is not one of the higher quality henckels sets - a fact betrayed by the price. they are very light and somewhat delicate, so a bit difficult to weild with control, and poorly suited to cutting through tougher material such as bones. of course, some may find light knives convenient, but i would have preferred heavier blades and handles, especially on the bigger knives. the santoku knife was the most disappointing because it was thin and very light. the rest are fine as they are, and cut with great precision, especially given the price. there are a few of extra slots in the block, which, while strange, came in handy for my old homeless knives. also, the set pretty muuch covers the range of needs and preferences for cutting absolutely anything (except bone-in chicken/fish, since the knives are a bit delicate). if you're not looking for a lifetime keeper set, then this is a great set for you. i really love mine, and plan on keeping it until i can splurge on a $$$$ set.

The Henckels International line offers affordable cutlery from one of the world’s most renowned knife manufacturers. Ideal for everyday use, this 17-piece set contains a 2-3/4-inch paring knife, 6-inch utility knife, 5-1/2-inch boning knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch carving knife, 8-inch bread knife, 7-inch hollow edge Santoku, 9-inch sharpening steel, eight 4-1/2-inch steak knives, and a black storage block. Formed of contoured, almost cushy santoprene, the handles are handsomely-backed with brushed stainless steel for added leverage and a sleek, contemporary look.
Fine Edge Synergy knives are constructed of stamped German stainless steel with hand-honed blades that can be resharpened (unlike the company’s Everedge knives that have identical handles but micro-serrated edges). The molded handles are quite comfortable and resist breakage, and full-tang blades slice and chop with ease. Made in China, the cutlery is dishwasher-safe yet best washed and dried by hand. A lifetime warranty applies.
What’s in the Box 2-3/4-inch paring knife; 6-inch utility knife; 5-1/2-inch boning knife; 8-inch chef's knife; 8-inch carving knife; 8-inch bread knife; 7-inch Santoku; 9-inch steel; eight 4-1/2-inch steak knives; black storage block can accommodate up to 20 knives.
