Bought these having read the reviews and have to say am very happy with them. If, like me, you are a novice in the kitchen and looking to replace a cheap set of knives then these are the ones for you. Much sharper than my old knives ever were and feel nice in the hand.

This two stage sharpener is a double edged sword (excuse the pun); It does not produce the same results as using a sharpening stone, but on the other hand it requires zero skill to use and give you a good edge in seconds. For a quick "top up" before or after use of your knives, it's fantastic. I use Henckels 5-star knives and I'm more than happy with the results considering the price.

Purchased to replace an unknown pair of scissors which met a sad end at the hands of evil art student daughter who decided to use them to cut up wire for a sculpture.
Struggled for years with a pair of very average kitchen scissors until i could take no more. Had bought a Henckels knife years before and was very happy so bought the brand again. I went for the most expensive pair and was not disappointed, they are razor sharp. They cut everything from bacon rind to magazines witn ease. You can feel the slight resistance of the two cutting edges as you use them. Well built and comfortable to use i would recommend these to everyone.

It may seem like a lot of money for a knife, but in my opinion it's a good investment (as long as the wife doesn't accidentally put it in the bin and not realise until it's too late, like the one it replaced!) It just oozes quality...

This is a great ice- cream scooper, giving a perfectly smooth ball of ice cream, easy to use no matter how hard the ice- cream is, so it's great for the kids aswell, and it doesn't rust as its stainless steel.

I was given my first Henckels knife a few years ago and since then I have added to the collection bit by bit. This carving knife is the latest addition and one of the best yet.
These knives are extraordinarily well made, with very good balnce and a razor edge. If you want a high quality kitchen knife with no frills then this is the range for you.

Without a shadow of a doubt this knife is superbly constructed. Build quality is excellent.
However, there is a serious drawback; the thickness of the blade.
It's too thick. When cutting large items the width of the blade forces the item apart instead of the slicing clean through, the result is that the item is actually split apart rather than cleanly sliced.
This effect is especially noticeable on root vegetables; the knife cuts most of the way through then the thick part of the blade forces the vegetable to split rather than continue the clean cut all the way through. Its ok for raw meat as that falls away from the blade as it passes through.
