J.A. Henckels International Forged Premio 13-Piece Block Set Reviews
This review is from: J.A. Henckels International Forged Premio 13-Piece Block Set (Kitchen)
I bought another set of Henckel knives 25 years ago and have decided to get a new set. This is not because the others didn't work, they did. I lost my paring knife and decided to treat myself to a whole new set. The Forged Premio set is just what I was looking for. They feel great, cut great, are a good price and they are well made. I love them. Henckels is a fabulous company. I broke the point off of my old paring knife, sent it back to the company and they sent me a brand new one, no charge. You can't go wrong with that. I highly recommend these knives and this company.

These are great knives for this price range. Great design, very ergonomic, cut and sharpen very well. Look very "professional". We cook at home quite often and these get a lot of use. Had them for a couple of years now, did not have to professionally sharpen them yet. Just periodical steel and home sharpening tool use. They stay sharp and are sturdy for any job.
To the reviewers who complain that they are made in China - notice the "International" in the title. The Henckels has 2 separate divisions: the Twins brand is high end professional knives made in Germany and sell for over $100 PER KNIFE. The other is International brand made in China and other countries. These are cheaper knifes for "everyday" use. You cannot compare the two.
If you want to see how they feel in your hand - Target and Kohl's sell them as well.

I have been using this set for several months now, and I have been very pleased. I have been sure to take really good care of them (no dishwasher - always hand-washed immediately after use) and they still look as good now as they did when I pulled them out of the box. I've had more expensive knives that held an edge slightly better, but these are a fantastic value.
The only problem that I have with this set is the steak knives - while functional, they are definitely not of the same quality as the rest of the set. If I were to make the purchase over again, I would probably order the smaller set of Premio knives and order a separate set of steak knives.
