Others say...

"Good Price"
I bought this "Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Block Set as $99.95.

Thre price of $99.95 for this set is the best among all retailers.

"Not that sharp"
These were not as good to cook with as I had thought they would be.
They are not very sharp but do come with a sharpener ,which helps.

"Great Buy!"
At $99.95 and free shipping, this is a steal! Try pricing the individual knives seperately and you will find that this is a great buy!!

"Please update picture"
Please note that one of the product images does not correspond with what is listed under product features. You get exactly what is listed under the product features--not what you see in the image. You do not get the 8-inch carving knife. You can get this for another $32 on amazon. I read the product description when I ordered this item, and compared it to the image, and must have assumed that the mistake was in the product description and not the product image---I was wrong. I think that this is rather misleading on the part of Amazon. The product image needs to be updated.

"Good starter set but get a sharpener too"
As other reviewers have mentioned, these knives aren't forged. If you don't know what the difference is, then it probably won't matter to you so save money by buying this set.

If you're used to more professional, weighted knives then you may have an issue with these. But they're truly not bad. All of them are sturdy and quite sharp.

In particular, the Chef's Knife is very good at slicing, cutting and chopping (all your basic knife needs...). I use it at least once a day for vegetables from potatoes to broccoli to parsley and find it perfectly adequate. It needs to be sharpened every few days, however, or chopping herbs becomes slightly difficult.

A few recommendations if you buy these - always wash them by hand and also purchase a knife sharpener as you will get a better edge than with the Sharpening Tool included in the set. A salesperson at Sur la Table suggested Wusthof's Knife and Scissor Sharpener (less than $20 on Amazon) and it is fabulous!

If you take the Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece set for what it is - a decent starter set with a block that has extra spaces for future knives - then this truly is an intelligent purchase. Three and a half stars.

What our customer's say!

"Love the grip on these!", My first Henkels' purchase was a "one-man" and it was cheap in price and quality. It was so heavy, my mom couldn't use it. I returned that one right away, and found the Twin Signature.

I loved it right away! The handle is the best part because it fits very well for a good grip and it doesn't feel heavy. The knives are sharp and I use the scissors all the time for everything! Everyone that comes by my house comments on how they like the knives after using them. For a little more money, buy the "two-man" Henkel--it's worth it.





"Great Set at a Great Price.", The Twin Signature is the lower end of Henckels more professional brand. The knives are sleek, very sharp. Great Value for great price (when on sale).

"FANTASTIC ITEM", I have to say, I was a little skeptical about buying expensive knives after always shopping at walmart for this type of thing. I actually bought them for my husband for Christmas because he loves to cook. My first cut Christmas day was a tomato and I am now a TRUE BELIEVER! These knives are perfect! I will be adding to the set! My favorite is the paring knive, at first the slightly curved blade threw me off, but with the balanced handle and the curved blade I have no slippage issues with the fruits or veggies as I cut! I never realized how much more effort I exerted using bad knives, now it takes very little effort to cut and peel items for dinner and snacks, I have especially noticed a difference with potatoes and apples. The handles are fantastic with the curved hand grip, it fits extremely small hands like mine but it fits my husbands large hands perfectly also. Amazing knives, I definitely would recomend them to anyone. I had just bought a set of santoku knives by a famous chef 2 weeks before Christmas and have not touched them since!

"Excellent normal day knives", All in all, a great set of home-use knives. It's not pro-level quality, but you're not paying hundreds of dollars either. For the price and if you're just looking for a nice set of brand-name knives for daily use...I would highly recommend these. My visitors who know enough about knives to recognize the brand thinks they are 'really really' expensive knives...so a good way to show off with out paying a lot.

"Exceptional knives, great price.", This is probably the best "beginner" knife set I've seen. Extremely good quality, and amazingly affordable especially when on sale at Amazon (as the often are). I purchased these and another one for a friend. Highly recommend.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"overpriced for what you get", low quality ,block made in china,would not buy,the knifes you would use the most are not in the set

"Quite disappointed for Henckels.", We own a set of 2-Man Pro series and this set did not even compare. Returned them the same day they arrived to my house.

"Great purchase!", I bought the knives for my brother who is somewhat of an amateur chef. I am so happy to say that he was very pleased with the purchase! I heard complaints of them being flimsy but that is not true at all. He has also had no problems with rusting and said they work great. You can tell by the weight of the knives and the handle that they are made very well. I would recommend this purchase to someone who cooks quite frequently and just wants good knives that get the job done!

"Very Happy with Product", I bought this set based on the reviews, please shop cautiously for this brand of knife to make sure you "know" what you're getting. These knives are sharper than any knife I have owned or seen. Comes with a great sharpener that will put a real edge on your other knife collections too. I have The Henckels steak knife set too and I quite satisfied with this purchase am sure anyone will, very reasonable price.

"Cutting Edge", Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Block Set is exactly what I'd hoped that it would be: a quality set of knives that is ideal for the home.

The set of Henckels that I've owned since the mid-80s finally gave in to a lot of use, sharpenings and dishwashings (dishwashing a good knife is a nice way to shorten the handle's life expectancy!). But 20 years of great service from my previous set of Henckels certainly warranted a loyal update/upgrade to another Henckels set.

And I am not disappointed. The new set is quite sturdy. Home users will be impressed with their strength; pros might be used to a higher standard, but I used to work in a professional kitchen and I can't see how these would not be as effective as anything a pro has.

These knives come out of the box SHARP too...a lot sharper than the sharpest that I've ever had my previous set sharpened to.

There were two descriptions from Amazon that tell you what you get; one of Amazon's descriptions included a carving knife (product description) and the other a peeling knife (what's in the box). Amazon seems to have corrected the error as of this updated 2-13-2006 writing. To be sure, here's what you actually get:

- 2 1/2" peeling knife
- 4" paring knife
- 5" serrated knife
- 8" chef's knife...this baby cuts through a roast like a hot knife through butter even though it's designed for chopping and dicing. In my opinion, it's better than a carving knife.
- a sharpening steel
- kitchen shears
- and a storage block with 11 slots which is great because some of the knives, especially the serrated knives, from my old set are still in mint shape (like the 8" bread knife), so there's plenty of room in the block for knives in your current collection looking for a new place to sleep.

No 8" carving knife. But like I said above, the 8" chef's knife works better than any carving knife that I've used.

The only things missing from this set for the average home is a nice large bread knife (as I said this was not a problem for me) and steak knives (also not a problem as most households already have these). Plain and simple, this is a great set of food preparation knives that--if my previous set is any indication--will last for decades.

Bon Appetite.
