Prefer Victorinox Granton Edge Santoku Knife, March 1, 2011
Henckels
The Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 2-pc Asian Knife Set is the perfect pair for tackling detailed kitchen tasks with ease. Honed for long-lasting sharpness, the fine-edge blades boast precision cutting. Effortlessly peel cucumbers with the 3" Paring Knife and confidently chop herbs, slice fish and mince garlic with 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife. The blade on this Asian all-rounder has small indentations, aka grantons, which prevent food from sticking while cutting. Fabricated from durable,This is not a bad knife set but we prefer the Victorinox 47529 Fibrox 7-Inch Granton Edge Santoku Knife- the Fibrox handle feels better and the inner corner of the Victorinox knife blade (the heel/ finger guard) curves away from the handle rather than towards it. My mother cut her thumb on this and it often pokes my hand uncomfortably.

| Great knives for the price of popular Henckels brand. Made with German steel and fabricated in China. I was surprised for the low price for this pair until I received them which is thinner than what I expected. I love this design where the blades have hollow spots which create air gaps, this make it easier to slice solid foods like cheese and hams. They do not stick as much as straight smooth steel blades. The 3-rivet hilt feels solid, smooth, and nicely detailed. Sharp.(The word Santoku refers to a general-purpose knife that originated from Japan. It is a chef knife primarily used for dicing, slicing, and mincing; designed with the weights of the blade and the handle to be equally balanced.) | 2 | ||
| I bought these at Target (for a few dollars more) just to see what they were like. I didn't expect much from knives that cost about $11 each. I was very happy with the result as the knives are well constructed, reasonably well balanced and cut well. These are stamped knives (not forged) and are thinner because of it, but they are not flimsy. The larger of the two was not as razor sharp as I would have liked but that was corrected by a couple of passes with a hand-held pull through sharpener (These typically sell for for about $10 and I would suggest you get one). Honestly, I think these knives are fine for "the rest of us." Will they last 50 years?? Probably not. Will they last many, many years...probably yes. With that said, do take proper care of them. I like to HAND wash my prep knives after I use them. I try to not let food dry on them and I never soak them overnight. Lastly, I never put any knife (with the exception of tableware) in the dishwasher. I know people do,... | 2 | ||
