Henckels: The Way To This Cook's Heart

by kcfoxy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Aug 31 '01
Pros: Natural feeling in the hand. Maintains sharp edge; less drag.
Cons: Very expensive knives.
Unless you're the Chef de Cuisine in a fancy restaurant, most likely you'll be doing years of prep work. My philosophy, when it comes to knives, is always to buy the most knife I can afford. Unlike Chicago Cutlery®, and a few no-name brands I...

UPDATED Henckels: Just A Cut Above Other Knives

by caroleg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 19 '00
Pros: The best slicing/dicing experience you'll ever have
Cons: This is not a cheap investment
For years, I used crummy, dull knives. Why? I thought they did an okay job. Then I tried something better and I couldn't switch back!

The Trial.

I was cooking at friend's house and I used several different Henckels 5 Star knives....

Overpaid for An Average Set of Knives

by wyu , Dec 06 '02
Pros: Does what's it's supposed to do adequately
Cons: Rust. Needs to be babied. Too expensive for the quality.
Let me first get something off my chest. I am truly embarrassed to have paid this much money for this set of knives. Suckered in by a "deal" on one of Amazon's Friday sales, I thought "something this expensive must be amazing, right?". And for I ...

The Mid-Range knives that work very well

by rubyeye20 , Aug 21 '05
Pros: light weight, thin blade, ergonimic handle, easy sharpening
Cons: price, not as good as Wustof
While the Henckles knives may not be as precision crafted as the Wustof-Trident, the prices of the Henckles drop more often and are on sale more often. For even the most distinguished cook, the Henckles knife set is more than good enough. The steel is ...

A Wonderful Investment for your Kitchen

by MofoNobI , Sep 22 '00
Pros: Lasts a Lifetime, Great Balance, Aestetically Pleasing
Cons: A little pricey but well worth it!
1. First off, a little background on how I came to know Henckels.

My uncles are chefs and they have nothing but praise for this brand of knives. My mom has had the same chef-knife (I believe it was either the 4 star or its predecessor) for 15...

Just a cut above the rest!

by bergzy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 20 '01
Pros: Knives are balanced, ergonomically comfortable and able to hold a sharp edge.
Cons: that little red sticker that is almost impossible to get off!
Hello!

Well, those who have read my past reviews know that when I was a student, I worked in a restaurant for some years. Also, in my years of residency, one of my joys was cooking! Well, what kind of a chef would I be if I did not have...

by NYCattitude , Jan 07 '01

How 1 knife changed the course of my kitchen...

by dilip , Sep 04 '00
Pros: great handles, superb blade that keeps a great edge, looks wonderful
Cons: a bit pricey in comparson to the other Henckels
I used to say that enjoyed cooking. I used to cook good meals. I only did so occasionally though. The prep time for a good meal was time that I didn't enjoy, so I only cooked well when I was cooking for other people.

Then in my final year...

PRO A CUT ABOVE

by jrhaz , Dec 21 '99
Pros: Beattiful ever sharp cutlery a joy to use
Cons: Preferred the cheaper model
Last Christmas I performed fairly exhaustive research into the finest cutlery available. Everything from the metallurgy to the construction pointed toward Henckel's. I have always had specific tasks in mind and tend to shy away from sets because there...

Henckels 5 Star vs. Cutco

by jiwhite Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 06 '00
Pros: High quality, ergonomically designed
Cons: Expensive
I sold Cutco a few years ago while I was in college. Cutco knives are very good knives that are designed to be ergonomic, not need sharpening and come with a great guarantee. However, I have to admit that I like the Henckels Five Star knives we bought...

The pros and cons of Five Star

by dboc_99 , May 10 '00
Pros: Quality, Value, Handle
Cons: Handle
If you are serious about buying Henckels, there are 4 top of the line Henckels out there, the 4 Star, the 5 Star, the Pro-S, and the Twin Star. I will only deal with the 5 Star vs. the Pro S here because they are similar in quality and identical in...

Five Star Santoku, a great all around contender

by Mark_A. Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 07 '00
Pros: keen edge, great handle
Cons: a little too big
If you looked at my kitchen knives, you'd probably think I was schizophrenic. I have some Chicago Cutlery, some Forschner, some Henckels.

The absolute sharpest, keenest, most awesome kitchen knife I have ever owned came from Japan. I...

Perfection in the Palm of your hand

by pennypotpie , May 17 '00
Pros: beauty, durability, balance, utility
Cons: pricey
I looked carefully at the wustof classic and grand prix, the Henckels four star, professional s and the five star. Essentially, the blade quality is a draw- All are top-flight. However, the handles on the five star put them above the other choices....

This Is Not A "DULL" Topic

by alice_branch , Aug 15 '00
Pros: very sharp
Cons: none to my knowledge
I received this set as a wedding gift. It has been a great gift. I have had many different types of knifes, but none of them have worked as good as this brand. I have always had trouble cutting or they get dull after awhile. These have a life time...

The best you can buy

by skippersan , Jan 11 '00
Pros: Good edge, weight and balance
Cons: most expensive
I am a professional chef with over twenty years experience. The Henckels
knives are absolutely the best that you can use. That is their top of the
line products. They have several levels of quality, and you are best to
use their 5 star...
