Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Fine steak demands a fine set of utensils. These four knives turn your dining room into a world-class steakhouse, where cutting is part of the experience. The forged stainless steel blades are razor-sharp and effortlessly slice even the thickest cuts of steak. The durable black plastic handles are triple-riveted and feature a full tang for the ultimate comfort. Lifetime warranty.

Amazon.com Review
With their slim, thin blades curving up to a sharp point, these knives slice a steak into precise bites. "International Classic" is a moderately priced cutlery line made in countries other than Henckels's home of Germany. Henckels's "International Traditional" line is identical except it has hardwood handles. Steel is of lesser quality than Henckels' premier lines. The knives are dishwasher-safe, but not recommended. --Fred Brack

4 out of 5 stars Great quality set, but higher maintenance   November 24, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

You expect the Henckels name to presume quality craftsmanship, personal choices for everyone, and ultimately some of the most useful and reliable knives that you will ever own. I've only been using my new set for about a month and a half, but what I presumed has been almost entirely true. This set is great, and I certainly would recommend it to anyone so long as they understand the following two negatives that I've found while using them.

(1) The handles are smaller than what one might expect. My wife and I looked at these in the store and agreed that the size was acceptable to us, but I'm sure, and have seen other reviews, that some people will not like the slenderness and lightweight design.
(2) These knives survive best when not used in dishwashers, and Henckels even states that they should not be dishwashed. So I always clean, rinse, and dry one knife at a time whenever I use them. Thus they are a bit higher maintenance than that 29.99 16-piece set that you can get at Walmart.

A great set of knives but they require more caring owners.



5 out of 5 stars Nice sharp knives   September 27, 2007
These knives replaced a nice set of Kitchen Aid knives, and they were a definite upgrade. While the Kitchen Aid ones had a nicer "feel" with their contoured handles, there's absolutely no doubt that the Henckels cut noticeably better, and in the end that's what a knive if all about. These are so sharp and cut so well that we've started a running gag at home about the knives cutting through (insert material here) "like buttah".

I consider the Henkle Steak Knives I puchased a complete success. The price I paid was very resonable the product sturdy and I am looking forward to having a life time of use out of them.


4 out of 5 stars Same as the entire Classic series   September 17, 2005
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Great knives. I've owned a set for about 6 months and they are still the sharpest set I've used. The handle rivets do lose their shine after a while, the same as the rest on the knives in the Classic series. Are they worth the money? At a stretch, yes, especially if you are buying them to compliment a full Henckels set.


1 out of 5 stars Henckels....   June 25, 2004

I am really disappointed in this product - I feel Henckels tries to trick their customers by providing lower quality products under the same label. I understand that the logos are different, but many people buy this set believing they are getting quality German knives for a discount, when in reality they are getting a cheap set of knives that should cost maybe $20, but because of the name are paying $80. As a sales rep and manager for the number 1 selling cutlery brand in the United States, I can say that the reason we outsell Henckels 4 to 1 is because we are completely honest with our customers.
