Customer Reviews
- I had purchased a single 4 star utility knife some years ago and loved using it. It fit well in my hand, was a good weight, and did a great job slicing. I have recently bought the larger package, and am getting the same results. They are a delight to use on everything from meats, bread and tomatoes. A great purchase.
- I purchased this set at a bargain price of $218. I've used it for over a year and am pleased with my purchase. My knife skills are probably average, so I find it helpful to have a large set. I mostly use the large chef's knife. I've added to the set, finding Four Star paring knives at TJ Maxx and Tuesday Morning. I just bought a Chef's Choice electric sharpener and find that keeping my knives very sharp speeds me up in the kitchen and is helping me produce more uniform slicing results. Would recommend without hesitation. I've also used the Five Star knives. Other than the handle shape, I notice no difference in performance.
- Hello: To begin with, this is my first complete set of decent knives. I have been using the Henckels gourmet series steak knives, cleaver and chef's knives brought individually, though. The set is definately cheaper than buying the knives individually(I paid 219 shipped). Hence no complaints there.
The knives from the Four II series are good enough even though I like the pro or the 5 series better (in looks). My biggest complaint with this set is the cheapo steak knives that they have included with the set. These are the Banquet series knives with terribly cheap looking handles. The steel seems reasonable (a little flimsier than the gourmet series if you ask me). I wish they had included the four star steak knives to make this a perfect set at the price. I would definately not have paid 400 bucks for this set (which it regularly sells for), but 219 is OK.
All in all, a good knives set but you will need to spend extra on steak knives ($100 for 8 gourmet series) and might try to ebay the banquet steak knives that came with this set.
