Amazon.com Review
The brightly colored handles on the four knives in this set strike cheerful notes in the kitchen, while the blades, stamped from high-carbon stainless steel, have all the shapes required for small-knife tasks. There's a 3-inch low-point, straight-edge knife (yellow handle) for cutting fruits and vegetables into thin slices, a 2-1/4-inch curved-blade knife (blue handle) for peeling and shaping, a 4-inch classic paring knife (green handle), and a 4-1/2-inch serrated utility knife (red handle) with a rounded point for slicing tomatoes. Handles are textured for a secure grip even when wet, and the lightweight knives prevent wrist strain when kitchen chores stretch out. These knives are dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

 Love These Knives February 5, 2010
percysparent (Lincoln NE)
I've had a set of these knives for more than 5 years and they get used virtually every day, usually several times. They're in the dishwasher almost every day as well. I have the ones made in Germany, not the Henckels international. I've read it makes a difference. I also have a large set of Cutco knives. The Henckels set is the one I constantly reach for. About the only cutco pieces I use are the chef's knife and the bread knife for larger loaves of bread. The Henckels set is used for everything else. Spent a ton of money on the expensive set and I use the dirt cheap set. I've given this set as gifts to many people including most members of the family. The piece I use the most is the bird's beak knife. Fantastic for peeling everything I don't like to use peelers. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH RUST. I don't expect these to work as well for things like heavy chopping jobs due to the weight and size limitations. I wish a version of a chef's knife were available. These have been downrated by sone reviewers for things such as ease of use and comfort. For a set that tends to get grabbed and used briefly, it really doesn't become an issue, but I have peeled 10 lbs of potatoes and sliced many loaves of french baguette at one time without any obvious discomfort to me. I've been told I'm a gourmet cook so I do a great deal of cooking and if I love using these knives, I would think most light-duty chefs would as well. The only negative is not having a chef's knife as the fifth in the set. (one with the wide blade)If there were a slightly longer serrated knife, I might just sell my Cutco set.
Ultra SHARP! January 21, 2010
J. Hynes (Miami, FL)
These knives are my most useful accessories in the kitchen. They are unbelievably sharp and the blades are ultra thin. I bought this entire set just for the curved-blade peeling knife; I used to have an indentical one (from back when they sold these separately) and it remained razor sharp for years (I unfortunately somehow lost it during the frenzy of christams cooking last year). The one with the serrated blade is perfect for cutting slippery vegetables and fruit like tomatoes and kiwi; it just grips and slices beautifully without shifting.
These compare in quality to ones that cost $20-30 each. If you don't mind the colored handles, these are indispensable.
PROS: Sharp, Thin, well-balanced, no-slip grip
CONS: You have to buy them before you can use them!

I just got my new pair of JA Henckels colored knives from Amazon yesterday and they are awesome. I tried cutting a tomato right away and it was like cutting thru butter,super smooth and sharp!. While researching on these,I read in on of the reviews that JAHenckels has two versions of everything one is their not-so-good US version called JAHenckels Internationl and the knives will have one man embossed on it. The other is their Zilling brand which is original German JA Henckels, that has 2 men embossed.Make sure you buy the one with 2 men and not one on the logo.I did that. Also do not go for the cheaper knockoffs.

These knives are great! They are nice and sharp, easy to grip and feel very sturdy. We use them every day. They are a great value for the price.

I love these knives. Between these knives, my 8" chef's knife, and my bread knife, I don't use anything else. And I cook a lot!
I've had these knives for about a year now, and use them daily. They've retained much of their sharpness, although I forsee having to get the green-handled one sharpened down the road.
I'd definitely get these again. My personal go-to favorite is the red-handled one. That one is super sharp. You won't regret purchasing these!
