HENCKELSForged Elite Razor-Sharp 3-Piece Kitchen Knife Set, Chef Knife, Paring Knife, Bread Knife, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery

These are very good knives. They are sharp but if use knives a lot they do need touch up occasionally the keep edge. They are easy to handle and the three piece set was good value. I would recommend hand washing to prevent dulling.

Bought these for my wife’s Christmas present and she loves them. Very sharp, holds edge well. Nice weight feel, cuts nice and clean. We only hand wash them so can’t say how they hold up to dishwashing.

This is exactly what I was looking for to replace my Global 8-inch kitchen knife. The handle is well constructed and sturdy, easy enough to clean, and the edge is razor sharp. It holds up to a steel well and keeps its edge for a good long time and plenty of use before it needs sharpening. I wouldn't ever put my chefs knife in the dishwasher so I cant speak to its durability in that respect, but if you keep it clean and wipe it down after each use, this knife should last for a good long time.

I bought these as a Christmas gift for a friend who never seemed to have a decent knife in the kitchen. They're a huge step up from the cheap stamped steel knives he had that were too dull to be used safely. The chef's knife is solid, well balanced, and a good weight... It also comes with a good edge without being to be sharpened. The paring knife is similarly well balanced and can be used safely without much effort.The weak link in the trio is the bread knife. It's too short to be used with much more than baguettes... Bagels and loaves can be cut, but take more work and with more crumbs than they should. Sadly, the bread knife is the main reason I bought this set... Fortunately the other two knives are far more useful and functional. I ended up picking up another bread knife that is far longer and far shaper for much less money... that's ok, though, as the other two knives get much more use and are going to last for decades. A great value even with the less useful bread knife!

I purchased these because my old ones were very old. They would not hold a sharp edge. These are so sharp and hold the sharp. I love them.

Not sure why I waited to long to buy a set of sharp knives. I’ve been using a subpar set forever, and the plastic handles started to break off. This 3-knife set of Henckles was affordable and a good way to start building a collection of good quality knives without breaking the bank.

High quality item. Would definitely buy again!

I am not a chef but to an armature cook this set does a great job on a brisket, roast, turkey etc. It is very sharp, easy to handle, slices thin slices.
