Steak Scalpels Jun 04, 2010
By TonyB
Extrordinarily sharp knife set. I was able to cut clean through a steak just by holding the tail end of the knife between finger and thumb and letting the weight of the knife do the cutting. They aren't serrated because they don't need to be.
If you drop one do NOT try to catch it, and be careful cleaning as they'll happily shred sponges, cloths and dish brushes too.

The BEST steak knives!! Feb 01, 2012
By MikeyG
After doing a lot of research on the different types of steak knives, I decided to pay the extra $ and buy this set. Let me tell you...totally worth it! Yes, they aren't cheap but I can almost guarantee you that you'll never have to buy another set for a VERY long time. Just an FYI, never buy serated steak knives...completely defeats the purpose. They just shred up the meat as you cut into it. I tried these knives for the first time a few weeks ago. I made stuffed pork chops and these bad boys are so sharp and smooth I simply used one stroke when cutting through the pork chop and that was it! It was so easy!!!! No need to sit there and cut back and forth multiple times to cut through a piece of meat. I can't say anything bad about this product. Well, the only thing I could say that I'm a bit sad that when I opened up the package there wasn't the Zwilling JA Henckels logo on the side of the handle like there is on the image above. However, the base of the handle has a metal cap and the logo. I just would have liked to see the color logo and name on the side of the handle like it shows in the picture. Yes, a stupid thing to cry about but I'm over it. =) I may have to go and buy another set of these steak knives to get me to 8!

 I like the classic-shape blade better Nov 05, 2011
By M. Maltbie
Don't get me wrong, these are wonderfully sharp blades and they will last you a lifetime if you sharpen them correctly--for that they deserve a five star rating. But, the shape of the blades is a personal preference and should be taken into consideration before you make a life-long commitment.
Maybe it won't matter to you if you're buying a good set of knives for the first time, but I have owned the classic shape for a long time and I like that shape better. The difference? On these blades, do you see how the blade curves down from the tip, then follows that curve for about two-thirds of the blade, then tapers in a bit? That's what I have a problem with--the little tapering in, then tapering back out to "meet" the hilt. On the classic shape the blade does not make that little inversion before finishing off.
Regarding Henckels and regarding the expense? You cannot go wrong with Henckels and it IS A VERY GOOD DECISION to go for the more expensive knives. If you are looking at less expensive blades, remember: "You don't get something for nothing" and "You get as good as you give"! Look at your budget and spend a little MORE than you think you should....I believe you'll be happier down the road.
It's always nice to actually hold a knife and get a feel for it before making it yours, but the return policy is so easy here that it's worth taking a chance.

Hmm... Life is complete....... ALMOST Oct 25, 2011
By 4 STAR II For The Win!
WOW WEE WOWW WOWW WEE!!!!!!!!!! to quote Mr. Christopher Walken.
U could debone a whole elephant w/ this steak knife alone! LOL!!! ;- & they're oh so purdy. Definitely the best.
In case ppl are wondering.. From best to worst from Henckel's line: Twin Four Star II, Four Star, Twin Pro S, Twin, Gourmet, Signature, then Henck's Intl. Hope it clears up some confusion. Personally I've only tried Twin Pro-S & these, & every dollar makes a difference if you only keep 1 set around the kitchen.
This steak set almost completes my 11-piece Four Star II block set Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star II 11-Piece Knife Set with Block. Only thing is, the wooden block has 6 holes but only 4 knives in a set. So ur either 2 too little or 2 too much. Thanks Henckels! LOL.
