Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The J.A. Henckels International Everedge Plus 17-Piece Knife Set with Block is excellent quality for home use and family food preparation. For the price, Henckel's International Cutlery is a 5 star product. It never needs sharpening and provides an excellent variety of home kitchen utility cutlery. Henckel also offers additional knives in their International brand for augmenting this set.
If you are a professional, you should not be looking in this price range for your cutlery.
People are buying these knives with the Henckel name expecting the German Solingen stainless steel quality and then they post poor reviews because they got what they payed for. Keep in mind, if you really want the Solingen quality, expect to pay hundreds of dollars more. Example: The Solingen version of the 8" Chef's Knife retails for $180.00, the lowest price I found was $139.95. This knife alone will cost you more than this entire set of 16 knives with wood block.
Consider this: The Zwilling J A Henckel's Twin Profection 7 piece Solingen set, which has a 4-in. Paring Knife, 5-in. Serrated Utility Knife, 6-in. Utility Knife, 8-in. Chef's Knife, 9-in. Sharpening Steel, TwinL Kitchen/Utility Shears and a 16-slot Dark Cherry Knife Block retails for $665.00. The best price I found for Zwilling J.A. Henckels Profection 7-Piece Block Set was $399.95. The 19 pc Solingen set retails for $999.00, best price I found is $599.95. That's a far cry from a Henckels International brand 17 piece set at $80.13 and that is why I truly believe that these are top quality knives when you consider what you are paying for them. They ARE J. A Henckel quality knives, but NOT Solingen quality stainless steel. As a result, people are complaining that these knives stain and rust.
What you have to remember: J A Henckel does NOT recommended cleaning any of their International cutlery products, including these knives, in an automatic dishwasher.
Finer grades of stainless steel have a high Nickel and Chromium content. To reduce the production cost, the stainles steel used in these knives has less Nickel. It has been replaced with Magnesium resulting in a less durable grade of stainless. Detergents used in automatic dishwashers contain one or more of acidic chemicals such as nitrilotriacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, methyl glycine di-acetic acid, diethylene triamine penta acetic acid, B-alaninediacetic acid, sodium iminodisuccinate. Many of these chemicals bond with nickel to produce the desired chelation reaction to reduce scaling in dishwashers. This process removes some of the Nickel, which impacts rust/stain prevention.
Take care with these products around children. These and other chemical combinations can be toxic as well as extremely caustic. Ingesting automatic dishwasher detergent can be fatal. Dishwasher detergents can cause severe skin irritation and burning. That's why it is recommended not to immerse your hands in water containing automatic dishwasher detergents.
Because chemicals in automatic dishwashing detergents negatively affect lower grades of stainless steel, J A Henckel strongly recommends hand washing this (International brand) cutlery in the milder hand dishwashing detergents. This will preserve the quality appearance of these knives and prevent staining and/or rusting (specks).
Solingen stainless steel is of a much higher quality than that used in these knife products... thus the price difference. For longer life of this product, follow Henckel's proper care recommendations for this cutlery.
