J.A. International Statement 7-pc Self-Sharpening Block Set

All good.

Looking for a new set of knives, that were high quality and would look great on the counter, and this set totally delivered

Looks good and all items lovely and sharp - have to be v careful- a great price too.

The Henkles brand is a good brand of knives which is why we chose this knife set. The knives are sharp to this day

We’ve been using the knife set we got from Chicago Cutlery as a wedding gift for the last 22 years. We made a decision together that we were just going to wash them in the dishwasher for the sake of ease. For the last 7 years we have had several of the wooden handles held in place with rubber bands to keep the knives functional, and I have to sharpen them soooooo often. We finally decided to get some new knives so I ordered some fine Damascus steel ones from Amazon which turned out to be some cheap knives with a Damascus-like etching on them. I returned them and my wife said we needed to go to a nice store like Sur La Tab so she could really examine the knives before we got them. Then Covid hit. So we replaced the rubber bands and kept using the old wooden handled Chicago Cutlery set we had been dishwashing. I finally got fed up and ordered these. Luckily we have a good idea of which knives we like now, so I didn’t get the one with all the pieces we didn’t need. We have one expensive Henckels knife that is very heavy. We don’t use it because it is so heavy. These have a good heft, but are not so heavy we won’t use them. One reviewer commented that the difference in heft indicates that these are not made in Germany, but I prefer the balance of these. I haven’t had them for long but they seem like a really nice set. One might think that anything would be better than the broken ones we’ve been using, but remember, I returned those crappy “Damascus” ones. I recommend these. If that changes I’ll revise the review. Now all I have to do is convince my wife not to wash these in the dishwasher….
