Henckels's International line offers affordable cutlery from one of the world's most renowned knife manufacturers. The Fine Edge Stylus collection stands out for its ergonomically-contoured stainless-steel handles, giving a kitchen a decidedly modern elegance. This eight-piece set contains the following basics: 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch carving knife, 9-inch sharpening steel, and a graphite-painted storage block. Constructed of stamped, high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, the knives feature precision-ground, hand-honed blades that slice meat and chop vegetables with aplomb. While not at the same height of excellence as other Henckels cutlery, the Fine Edge Stylus knives feel well-balanced with a noteworthy heft. All pieces store in the included graphite-painted wood block. Made in China, the cutlery is dishwasher-safe yet best washed and dried by hand immediately after use. A lifetime warranty applies. --Ann Bieri

 great value so far April 6, 2005

I have only used these knives once so far, so I cannot speak to their durability, but I am impressed. Some people may prefer some forged blades from another name brand, Henckels' premium line, but for the price, this set includes everything anyone would need to start a collection.
If you are concerned about the handles being too slick, they are meaty enough to fill your hand and I have not had any trouble holding on. Just be sure to keep them clean, honed, and sharp and they will melt through even the most stringy chicken breast.
Excellent October 15, 2008

We looked at several brands of cutlery and found Henkels to be among the best. When we saw it on deal of the day at such an amazing price, we snatch the set up and added two sets of steak knives. Our expectations have been exceeded.
Love them!! Love them!! Love them!! July 26, 2008

I did a lot of research for a good sturdy knife set. Most knife sets are VERY expensive and I just didn't want to spend that much. So, I got this, great price and they are amazing! They work great, VERY sharp (I have cut myself pretty bad a few times already but that's my own fault) plus they are attractive sitting on my kitchen counter and match my stainless steel appliances very well!
Great looking and great performance! October 12, 2008

The knives look good and I get lots of compliments on them. They do a good job, especially for the price. To complete the set, be sure to get some kitchen shears.
 A bargain from J.A. Henckels, but read the specs! September 14, 2008

This J.A. Henckels 8 Piece Stylus Block Set is a decent set at an excellent price, but do read the specs carefully before you order so that you're not surprised. This set has a modern appearance due to the stainless steel handles, and those have a nice ergonomic feel. But these are not the "Made in Solingen, Germany" like the Four Star, Five Star, Pro "S" (and others), which are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. These knives are made in China from stamped stainless steel, as indicated in the specs.
An explanation: J.A. Henckels has two distinct brands. The "Zwilling J.A. Henckels" brand is known as "The Premium Brand," with products that are mainly made in Germany (mostly forged blades) or Spain (for mid-range knives, forged or stamped). The "J.A. Henckels International" brand is "The Value Brand" division that produces less costly, mostly stamped blade knives, often made in China or Taiwan.
If you're looking for some top-of-the line German-made knives from J.A. Henckels, check out the J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star Cutlery, or perhaps the J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Knife Block Set.
Please understand that this is not a put down on this J.A. Henckels 8 Piece Stylus Block Set, which in some ways is better than some other knives crafted in Germany, for the Henckels quality is still there. Just don't be surprised to see the blades marked "Made in China."
