My biggest gripe is the silly sticker on the knife handles. I have been carefully hand washing the knives and the sticker starts to get gummy and peeling off after about a month. Seems very tacky and low quality to put a sticker like this on a quality knife. I had to take off 1 whole star for this. But if this doesn't bother you as much as it does me then consider this a 5 star review :)

These knives are really good. I ended up adding them to an assortment of others I use regularly. The block was a disappointment (lightweight and a poor finish) and I discarded it for one I was already using.Read Best Reviews of J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 5-Piece Gift Set Here
The blades are just great and well worth the price. The metal coated paper sticker used as a label on the handle is a disappointment while the instructions recommend hand washing and not using a dishwasher, sorry I'm going to use the dishwasher. However, the cheap label comes off eventually. The blades remain superb, however.I suggest getting a companion Henckels or Wusthof manual sharpener (about $20); I haven't found anything better. My blades needed sharpening after a year of use 3-4 times a week, and 3 to 4 draws through each side of the sharpener did the trick, far better than the steel rod I had.Needless to say, these knives are sharp and well balanced. My use has been only for a month, so I will reserve judgement on how long they remain that way. I do hone after each use, but so far, it has been a pleasure to use them. The only change I would have preferred is a 6" chef knife, rather than an 8" inch.
