J.A. Henckels International 16 Piece Forged Accent Off-White Knife Block Set

Very nice ,balanced set . More forged units in larger knives. Good gift. Top of the line in knives.

The knives are very high-quality. They make a breeze out of cutting up whatever you need for your recipe. The black and the appearance are very nice and look beautiful on the counter. We are so glad we chose this brand.

This is currently just an unboxing review. I have to say pictures do not do these knives justice. All the knives seem to be extremely well made. They're also heavy, which I like. I thought the white handles could potentially look tacky, but everyone who has seen my knives talk about how sharp they are (literally and figuratively). The shears and sharpener are a nice touch as well. My only grip is that "Made in China" is on each blade. I hoped they would have "Made in Germany" on them. Regardless of where they are made, they seem to be excellent quality. Finally, the instructions noted that these knives are NOT designed to be dishwasher safe. I've always hand-washed knives, so it is no big deal to me. I definitely wouldn't spend this much on knives only to potentially have them ruined by the dishwasher.

It is seemingly impossible to find anything not made in China. These are nice knives but it is hard to discern that they are not really German unless you do a lot of research. They say made with German steel in China. The shears are nice and are ALL metal. The knives are heavy and well balanced. The edge on them is very fine. Time will tell. They have been in the dishwasher and no bad effects yet.

We are very pleased with the sharpness and look of these knives. They seem sturdy so far. I wish there were more that weren’t serrated though.

We haven’t had a knife set in 13 years..too spend this kind of money is very hard for me..especially with the negative reviews..we ended up first ordering emojis knife set and I never stopped looking at these..I was not happy till I made the faith and order ..we couldn’t be happierSo original and rich looking..never had whit before and we love them..we get so many compliments! Soo heavy and weighted just right..I have a few cutco knives and could never afford a 1000 dollar block!! They are not Contoured in on the handles like cutco but have a nice heavy feel to them ..they are so worth itThe block had some small scratches but used wood oil and they are barely there...Well worth the money

Bought for my daughter and her husband, they love the quality and sharpness right out of box. Great knife company!

It’s sharp and gives your kitchen a beautiful feel and look . I Love it I would recommend it.
