HENCKELS Solution Razor-Sharp Santoku Knife Set, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery, Stainless Steel, 7-inch

Love this set. It's very sharp and makes cooking so easy to slice and dice.

Bought these as a gift for my son and he's raving about them. Great value for the price for a wonderfully sharp, versatile kitchen knife.

Excellent knives with great razor edge cutting power. Worth the money.

Bought these for my elderly parents. Nicely weighted, easy to hold, and sharp. Unfortunately, only a week later there is already some discoloration, looks like they are starting to rust.To be fair, I can't answer for user action/cause; maybe they forgot they were in the sink, who knows, but disappointed that this is already happening so soon. I couldn't clean it off easily either, afraid to take steel wool or harsh chemical cleaner to them.Any metal that starts rusting in a few days, regardless of usage (or misusage) is kinda sketchy to me. My mom has had knives for decades that are still in good condition, if these knives require some extra special handling, I don't think they are meant for regular households, or new cooks, or especially the elderly.

For starters the edges were a bit rough looking. A few strokes on a steel dressed them up. So far happy with the knives

Update:I would not buy these knives again. Even when hand-washed, they get stained. Chinese “stainless steel” is not very good.I’ve had Henckels Knives before buying these. The ones I already owned are identical to these except they were made in Germany. These that I just bought were made in China. I was disappointed they are made in China because Amazon's description alludes to their German engineering. When I looked closed at the box, it states they are made in China.That being said, I’m pleased with all but one which is slightly bent at the point. Since I’ve used them already, I will keep them. They are very sharp and work well. And the sale price was good.

If these two knives (we took advantage of the 5 and 7 inch Santoku Chef Knife two-for deal) were to fall to pieces the minute after first being used successfully, it pretty much still would have been a great deal! ;-) As it turned out, they're a bit better than that - a good bit better. The five inch knife is my wife's new go to favorite and while I often use it as well I quite like the seven inch knife, which I find almost as good at food prep as our eight inch Henckel-Zwilling chef's knife costing considerably more. Actually, the smaller size makes them better suited for some jobs than the larger, more traditional knife. If, as I hope and now somewhat expect (after regularly using them both for awhile), these two knives prove to be as easy to keep sharp as their much more expensive, 'pedigreed' eight inch cousin, I think this could be just about the best buy in kitchen knives I've ever made! While I do consider our eight inch chef's knife to be the best knife we own, to me, the Santoku style, with it's much straighter edge, actually has many advantages over the 'standard' knife, particularly with some vegetables. Both are very useful kitchen tools that I like quite a bit, and considering how little they cost, my wife and I are very glad to have them.A genuinely "good" knife should, in my opinion, be easy to keep sharp over the course of it's entire lifespan, the length of which should match or exceed my own. Whether that proves to be the case with these remains to be seen, but they already have proven themselves useful and valuable additions to our collection of better kitchen tools and I suspect they will remain so for some time to come. My wife and I are totally happy with our purchase and given the extremely low cost, I don't really see how we could think this wasn't a great buy, even if, as I jokingly mentioned earlier, they fell to pieces the first time they did any serious work. They didn't. :-) We love 'em!

Great knife for my kitchen daily use. Dishwasher safe & no rusting! Durable & lightweight, with good quality.

Cuts veggies great! Nice and sharp. Feels like good quality. Nice weight to it. Can go in dishwasher which is great.

Use it less than a yearSeldom use, < 1x a weekAnd it already rusty

They came just as described Very good knives for the price. I would buy them again but these look like they will hold up for a long time

Well worth the effort if you are looking for a good knife

Bought this as a gift. He said it makes like much easier for chopping his vegetables.
