Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels International Everedge 13-Piece Knife Set with Bonus Cheese Knife
Customer Review: For the money... you can't go wrong!!
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased these knives...and think they've been worth every penny. They're sharp, comfortable to grip, aesthetically appealing, and come in a nice assortment. Certain knives like the Chef's knife and the table/steak knives have become the proverbial 'work horse' of the set while the tomato knife hasn't really seen the light of day since it left the box. The polypropylene handles are capable of withstanding high temperatures and, because of their nature, do not harbor bacteria like some sets that contain rivets or those with wooden handles.While this is a great set, it is not a high-end set, so you may want to look elsewhere if that's what you're after. None of the knives have a full-tang (where the steel goes all the way through the handle) or rivets. The handles are plastic. Also, the steel is from Japan (if I'm not mistaken) instead of Germany and boy, do the Germans know how to make steel!
So, dear friends, if you're looking for a set that you can pass on to your children and your children's children then you should indeed move up the Henckels line or look into Cutco (my favorites) or another high-end set. If you're looking to buy a good, inexpensive set that looks great and is every bit as functional, then look no more!
Also, consider looking into a pair of kitchen shears... they're indespensible!

Summary: 5 Stars
I have 2 sets of these knives after purchase of this most recent set because they didn't cost an arm and leg! The 1st set I've had for approx. 10 years. They are great! Easy to care for and definitely get the job done. The information that comes with them suggests that you not put them in the dishwasher, but I've always put them in the dishwasher anyway because they weren't expensive and my old ones still look new! I also like them because there are no "exposed" screws in the handles - they look expensive but are very reasonably priced. Great product!
Customer Review: GREAT knives - especially for the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
Look, just before these I went to Williams-Sonoma & bought a $400 set of Wuster (or however they spell it) knives. When I saw these, there were more included with the set & for a fraction of a fraction of the price! $29??? Are you kidding me? (or was it $39) Who cares!!!! I bought these right away. It's been 6+ months now & they are GREAT! Anyone shooting these down are nothing more than some kitchen utensil snobs who have nothing better to do with their money. I don't need $400 knives. If I buy these & they only last me 2-3 years... I STILL can't go wrong for the quality & price!
I suggest you read the negative reviews on this product & notice how "stuck up" they sound. Good God, they're $30 knives - you can't go wrong.
Customer Review: Garbage-Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I have to agree with other reviewers that this is an embarrassment to the Henkels brand. The knives are horrible, flimsy, and do not cut well. Knives are not weighted properly and therefore do not cut straight but always veer to one side or the other-big safety hazzard! The only knives that are really worth anything in this set are the steak knives and the bread knife. They actually work pretty well. I will probably chuck out most of the knives (hate to give them to charity as I don't want anyone getting hurt with them) and use the block to store my better knives. I have to admit that I was excited when I saw this on the box deal at such a great price and seeing that it was Henkels purchased immediately without reading the reviews-Big Mistake! Do not waste your money-even if it is a "good deal".
