Elegant and Efficient
The cheese course is all the rage for this fall and winter, and this cheese cleaver makes an elegant and efficient way to serve semi-firm to firm cheeses at the table or on a buffet. The Henckels design and quality are apparent in the look and feel of this lovely piece. I especially like to use this tool to serve a nice cheddar or smoked provolone with apple or pear halves, allowing guests to cut pieces of fruit and cheese for their plates. This also makes a great hostess gift, especially when paired with a wedge of your personal favorite from the local fromage shoppe. ... Read more

Too flimsy to use
This product was a major disappointment. The magnetic strip itself is excellent, but it's built around a very flimsy plastic framework with plastic ends that mount on the wall.

The problem is that the plastic frame very quickly warps with the force required to remove the knives from the strong magnets, creating a rocking motion that helps work the hardware out of the wall.

Now I have a couple of big holes in my wall, and I need to replace this product before it falls apart. I'm very disappointed.

A space-saving idea for a tiny apartment kitchen.
I live in an apartment with a tiny, galley-style kitchen. I have next to NO counter space. I was fed up with having the small piece of counter next to my stove filled up with a spice rack AND a knife rack AND a utensils jar.

I found the Henckel's magnabar here on amazon and gave it a try. Now I am not your Miss Fix-It type so maybe others would not have this problem, but I found it awkward to mount this thing on the wall next to my stove. The end caps of the bar, which you use to set the screws in, and the top and bottom edging of the bar are plastic and rather flimsy. By the time I got the bar up and stable, one edge of the magnabar had bent/come loose. After sinking the screws into my wall, I didn't want to stop and return it, so I just put the "bad side" back toward the corner where it won't be as noticeable.

I do really enjoy having more counter space and all the knives lined up on the bar looks great, but I have to admit I expected a higher quality product from Henckels.

You don't have to be a brain surgeon...
.to wish you had a better way of keeping your kitchen scalpels organized.

Seriously, I thought this bar would be just the thing to help me organize my too-small kitchen which is always strewn with knives, bottle openers, spatulae, whisks, and other kitchen implements. I also wanted something to keep my sharp knives away from my hands so that I could reach for things on the counter without worrying about stabbing myself.

This magnetic strip fits the bill perfectly. I was worried at first that it wouldn't be a strong enough magnet to hold my chef's knife, but it is. The knife is held very securely and forms a tight magnetic "seal" that breaks when you twist the knife away from it. If you bump the knife, it just rotates on the magnet - you'd have to be a real klutz to whack it hard enough to knock it off by accident. ...

I was also worried that the metal magnet would nick my knife edges. That's not a problem as long as you're careful how you put the knife on (back edge first).

I recommend this product without any reservations! ... Read more

A long-bladed carving knife is a handy kitchen tool for slicing roasts, poultry, or ham, even vegetables.

This dual-pronged fork is designed to lift and secure large cuts of meat, including roast beef, turkey, and ham, for ease in carving. The long tines of the fork assist in holding the meat firmly while it is being sliced with a complementary Henckels carving knife. The ergonomically designed polypropylene handle--like those of all the products in the Four Star line--is designed to balance perfectly in the hand, ensuring comfortable carving for a lifetime to come.

This six-piece knife set from J.A. Henckels benefits from the company's 260 years in the cutlery business. Each knife is made from stamped, high-carbon, no-stain steel blades that have been ice-hardened, which results in a very long-lasting cutting edge. The set includes a 3-inch paring knife for cutting and paring fruits and vegetables, a 6-inch utility knife for slicing, and an 8-inch chef's knife designed to rock on the cutting board for better slicing of fruits and vegetables. The set also includes a set of kitchen shears and a sharpening steel with its own slot in the solid hardwood knife block. The block has an additional five slots for adding knives as the need arises. Each knife has a full-length tang (meaning the metal blade continues all the way through to the end of the handle) that provides better balance and a stronger knife. The Novadur plastic handles are unbreakable and impact- and acid-resistant and won't fade over time. These knives are dishwasher-safe, but be careful that the blade doesn't touch other objects; hand washing is recommended to keep steel blades scratch free. --Doree Armstrong

Great knife set
I didn't realize just how much my Farberware knives ... until I used these. They feel firm in your hand but not too heavy. It's only getting 4 stars because it's not washable, and because I feel the block takes up too much space. To accomodate the length of the sharpening steel, the block is actually very long and juts out. The extra slots were great, as I was able to add my own bread knife and carving set.

Good knives from a great name in cutlery
This was my first set of nice knives. They are excellent for the price. They could potentially be the last set of knives you own, due to the high quality of material used and Henckels outstanding reputation for excellent cutlery (professional chefs know the Henckel name). However, they are the "low" end of the Henckels line. I have since added several knives from their Pro S line. More serious cooks may want to skip the Gourmet line and spend the extra money on a set from the Pro S (or higher) line. Otherwise, like I did, you will find yourself spending more money buying the nicer knives "open stock".

AN EXCELLENT KNIFE SET FOR THE MONEY
I AM AN AVERAGE COOK, AND THIS HENCKEL'S KNIFE SET IS JUST EXCELLENT. I CONSIDER MYSELF FORTUNATE TO HAVE BOUGHT GERMAN-MADE CUTLERY AT SUCH A GREAT PRICE. THESE KNIVES ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE TYPICAL DEPARTMENT STORE KNIFE SETS. THEY ARE MADE OF THE BEST STEEL AND HOLD A SHARP EDGE MUCH LONGER. SO I RECOMMEND THAT YOU PAY A LITTLE MORE, AND GET A KNIFE SET THAT YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH FOR A LIFETIME.

Wether you are a beginner or pro, this set serves well.
I must say that these knives are one of the finest in the world, they a durable and long lasting, and as any chef will tell you, a good knife is essential to any kitchen. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The super-sharp 3-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle make this a top-notch paring knife. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust-resistance, and durability, this versatile little knife ends up doing almost all the knife-work you'd rather not--or can't--do with your chef's knife: peeling, cutting, shaping, and prepping fruit, veggies, and meat.

When it is finally time to sharpen the slim edge of this knife, worry not, for it lends itself well to both a sharpening stone and steel. Once you've achieved the edge you want, a few quick sweeps along a steel each time you use the knife should keep the edge in fine condition. The ergonomic polypropylene handle lies comfortably in your hand, facilitating strain-free use; the metal bolster acts as a finger-guard; and the blade, bolster, and tang are fused into a seamless piece for easy handling and balance. The absence of rivets and recesses in the synthetic handle allows for dishwasher use. Finally! Still, the best way to care for this knife is to hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse it well, and then immediately wipe it dry. --Marcela Broussard ... Read more

Small knife for big hands
This knife has been a revelation to me. I use my 8" and 10" chef's knives for almost everything because small knives are uncomfortable and awkward. Now I know it isn't the small knives I dislike -- it's the small handles!

In the two weeks since I first picked up this one, it has (almost -- let's not get TOO carried away) become my favourite knife. The heft and balance are gorgeous, a completely natural fit in my hand. Of the Henckels handles, I would recommend the five-star style for this knife because the blade is automatically positioned at the best cutting angle.

With a knife like this, I could even see me turning out carrot swans and radish roses: "What's that, dear? When's dinner? Oh, I forgot..." ... Read more
