Amazon.com Review:
This knife block set carries a useful assortment of standard knives for outfitting a kitchen. The set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 4-inch paring knife, and a 2-1/2-inch peeling knife, as well as a sharpening steel and a pair of shears. All components fit within an 11-slot hardwood block, which offers four extra slots for future knife acquisitions.
Part of Henckels's Twin Signature of knives, the cutlery in this set have high-carbon, stainless-steel blades that have been stamped from one piece of metal. The edge is cut by laser for a more consistent angle on the blade and hand-honed for sharpness. Blades have also undergone Henckels's Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens them and protects them from discoloration. The ergonomically designed traditional-style polymer handles are securely fastened to the balanced full tangs with three rivets. Handles seamlessly encase the tangs on these knives so no food particles can ever become trapped in a gap. Twin Signature knives are all dishwasher-safe (although Henckels recommends washing by hand) and are covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

- Have withstood time and use---make cooking a pleasure
In more recent years, I ended up cooking much more often, and I learned that it's important to have good knives---not just because they cut better but it prevents injury due to straining when using a poor quality knife.
I debated between Henckels and Wusthof, but went with these as they seem to be decent quality at a reasonable price.I hear Wusthof is supposed to be better, but it's with a price tag to match.
I have no idea what's up with the people that complained about ... Read More

Rating: - 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, ...
