HENCKELS Solution Razor-Sharp 2-pc Knife Set, Santoku Knife 5 Inch, Santoku Knife 7 Inch, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery, Stainless Steel

If these two knives (we took advantage of the 5 and 7 inch Santoku Chef Knife two-for deal) were to fall to pieces the minute after being used until they normally needed honing again to maintain their edge, it pretty much still would have been a great deal! TThe five inch knife is my wife's new go to favorite and I quite like the seven inch knife, which I find almost as good at food prep as our eight inch Henckel-Zwilling chef's knife costing considerably more. If, as I hope and now somewhat expect (after regularly using them both for awhile), the two knives prove to be as easy to keep sharp as their much more expensive, 'pedigreed' eight inch cousin, I think this could be just about the best buy in kitchen knives I've ever made! While I do still consider our eight inch chef's knife to be the best knife we own, to me, the Santoku knife, with it's much straighter edge, actually has some advantages over the 'standard' knife occasionally, particularly with some vegetables. They're very useful kitchen tools that I like quite a bit, and considering how little they cost, my wife and I are very glad to have them.A genuinely "good" knife should, in my opinion, be easy to keep sharp over the course of it's entire lifespan, the length of which should match or exceed my own. Whether that proves to be the case still remains to be seen, but they already have proven themselves useful and valuable additions to our collection of better kitchen tools and I suspect they will remain so for some time to come, hopefully from now on. Already, my wife and I are totally happy with our purchase and given the extremely low cost, I don't really see how we could think this wasn't a great buy, even if, as I jokingly mentioned earlier, they fall to pieces the first time the blades need normal maintenance. We love 'em! :-)

Great knifes for the price. So far very sturdy and come decently sharp but would definitely recommend using a knife sharpener overtime to keep them sharp enough. Would recommend as good starter knifes!

While very affordable, the first thing I noticed after I opened them was the weight. Very light. I've been a custom to a heaver knife. This requires significant adjustment for me. However, knives are Sharp as advertised. Price and quality makes this a good purchase. 4 stars due to the weight factor.

After 35 years I needed new.knives. henckels has been my to go to brand for years.

I would highly recommend. Works as described. Good product and fair prices.

Lightweight. Feels cheap. Obviously they were creating a lightweight knife for price conscious shoppers. Personally I prefer my knifes to have some heft to them. Besides more metal means they last thru more sharpenings, and moreover if the knife falls to the floor they can break. A beefier knife lives thru more falls.

Super sharp. Don't stay sharp, need reshaped often with the sharpener blade

I was really looking forward to these knives after seeing so many positive reviews, but unfortunately, they did not live up to the expectations. The quality is noticeably lower than described, the blades feel flimsy, and they dull quickly with minimal use. I was honestly surprised at how highly rated these are, because my experience has been quite the opposite.To make things worse, I realized the return window had already closed by the time I noticed the issues, so I’m stuck with a product I won’t be using. I definitely won’t be purchasing these knives again and cannot recommend them to others.
