Product Description

Friodur Stainless Steel Blades, NOVODUR Handles / Wood Presentation Gift Box

Amazon.com Review

From one of Henckels' moderately priced cutlery lines, these eight steak knives divide any rib eye, chop, or roast into bite-size pieces and then store in a handsome wood box. The thin, curved blades are perfect for precise cutting, although their fine serrations tend to tear meat fibers rather than slice neatly through them. Stamped from high-carbon stainless steel, the knives are lighter in weight than forged knives and don't have bolsters, which might not be essential when confronting a thick prime rib. The synthetic handles feature classic three-rivet styling with full tangs for strength. The storage box is stained a rich auburn. It has brass hinges and snap closures and measures 15-1/4 inches long, 1-3/4 inches high, and 5-5/8 inches wide. The knives are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Henkels 8-piece steak knives with box - Reviewed on 2008-05-28

1 customer found this review helpful.

The saying goes: "You get what you pay for." I needed 8 steak knives yet did not wish to spend $200 or more for only six good quality knives. Therefore I compromised and purchased the J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-piece steak knives for less than $100 at Amazon. They are light knives, neat looking (slim) without heavy looking handles, so that you can add to everyday table setting. Serves the purpose. Wish they were a bit more substantial. Otherwise, okay for everyday usage.

These knives keep their sharpness and easy storage with the great wood box, no accidental cuts from getting a knife out of a drawer. Super product

Excellent quality knives - Reviewed on 2008-01-13

Very nice presentation with the Twins quality. You won't be disappointed in the price/value

Sharp? Yes, Sharp. - Reviewed on 2008-01-08

Very good knives. Be very careful when washing, I cut myself twice already (the first time I wasn't even aware of it for a few hours). In the description the maker indicates that the knives should be hand washed and dried, and not soaked... That's because the handles are very stain-saturated, if left wet the stain bleeds out onto the blade. Nevertheless, they were made to cut, and that's exactly what they do. Regarding the price, I bought them on sale, and I think that the sale price should be the retail price to make the set a good value.

Great knives - Reviewed on 2007-12-11

I have used these knives for several years and look forward to using them whenever possible. I have never experienced the "tearing" as described above. I looked for them on this site so I could give them as a gift to friends.
