| lipps66's Full Review: Henckels Classic 7 Piece Block Set |
The other reviews are written by people that are real chefs or people that cooking is a hobby. It is not for me. I am a meat cooking, throw seasoning on the stuff and eat it as fast as I can. Not that I do not appreciate good food but, I am not the one who can prepare it.
My mother purchased this Henckels Classic 7 Piece Block Set for a house-warming present for my wife and myself. Man these knives are really nice. As a person who cannot stand having a dull knife to cut anything (even the pop can before I cut a tomato) these knives are fantastic.
The first thing I noticed when I first handled the largest of the set was the weight distribution. It feels like a fine sword. Perfectly balanced and ready to chop. The handle felt like I could grip this knife with confidence and get the job done quickly and safely.
I also like the presentation of the knives in the block that comes with the set. It sits nicely on my counter and gives off the air that “hey someone can cook in this house.”
They stay quite sharp, but if they go dull in any what or for whatever reason I misuse these knives the sharpener that comes with the Henckels Classic 7 Piece Block Set works quickly and efficiently.
This is a good set for a novice like myself and the selection of knives that comes in the Henckels Classic 7 Piece Block Set is versatile and useful.
Spend the money from what I have heard these things last for a long time.
Update:
I have started to experiment with cooking, I like to cook the occasional Chinese dish. I sharpen these knives before I use them every time and they are fantastic! I can cut thin strips of any meat including fish. I have started to make my own sushi and if you have ever tried to cut seaweed these knives will do it without hesitation. They have lasted me for a long time and I hightly recommend for everyone to buy a great set of knives like these.
