HENCKELS Silvercap 14 Piece Knife Block Set, German-Engineered, Black

The only difference is the knives have curves, so w meat and chicken you saw at it rather than chop..

About 30 years ago I had purchased a a steel J.A. Henckels knife set before micro-serrated edges that never requires sharpening were created. I had to sharpen those knives and they served my purposes. (I was quite happy with them). Sadly they were lost during a move. Flash forward to 2017 and my new set of J.A. Henckels International SilverCap 14 piece knife block set. While these certainly are not the top of J.A. Henckels line of products I do have to they are well made. I love the fact Henckels has created an ever sharp blade that is dishwasher safe. (In the past my previous set could never be put in a dishwasher and was always hand washed and dried.) I am getting used to the serrated edge to one side of the blade, having to angle inward slightly when cutting through unpeeled onions, but once I figured out that trick I had no problem. As I practice using these new knives I am delighted to find I can slice carrots paper thin if I want to. (something that my old knife set never achieved) I do wish this set had a boning knife and perhaps one more utility knife (perhaps in lieu of so many steak knives) but overall this set is a great value and the knives are going to be a workhorse in my kitchen. I am a serious cook who requires good cutlery, good cookware, and good small kitchen appliances. These knife will easily stand up to the task.

This is a very nice looking and well made set of knives. All of the knives have serrated edges which is not what I am used to. They work well, however, the serrated edge takes some getting used to.

I got this product during Amazon prime days 2022. So far I LOVE IT! The knives are SHARP and easy to handle. The silver and black looks great on my counter and so far my family is please with the new purchase. Invest in a good set of knives!

Great set of knives.

I was not expecting the large blades to be serrated. Largest knife does not seem to be sharp at all. Appears it’s relying on serrated edge for cutting and not sharpness. Would have returned if I’d kept the box. Never expected Henckels to be so poor.

My mother had a set of knives from this company so I figured I would give these a try since I was having trouble sharpening my old knife set. I thought it would be a great feature to not need to be sharpened... nope, it is not worth it. I have so much difficulty cutting and cleaning the knives I use my old duller knives instead more often than not. Maybe I can salvage them and sharpen the blades anyway to get rid of that useless feature that just causes the fat from meats to get stuck and I have to remove it several times while cooking. I am glad this set works for many people, it just isn't for me.

This knife set, for the price, is just perfect. I sharpen them every couple of times I use them and I’ve never had a problem with any of them. We use them almost every day, except for when my wife forces me to take her out. Then they just look pretty.

These set of knives also look lovely on the kitchen bench. Would definitely buy again.

I love the price in a store local to walk in and buy one Henckel knife is $150.00 an that was all I paid for this 14 piece set

Its a quality knife but I regret that they are serated that makes it challenging to slice soft and delicate veggies but its good witg meag. Its so sharp I hurt myself using it.

Facas lindas e muito funcionais

Muy buena calidad
