Reviews J.A. Henckels International Forged Premio 18-Piece Block Set: Great Inexpensive Investment

I would recommend this J.A. Henckels International Forged Premio 18-Piece Block Set. Knives came in sharp. Love the feel and style. I first tried my moms and knew I had to have a set. They are very sharp, and cut so well. The handle is weighted really well and fits in my hand perfectly.
Forged Premio knives are made of high-carbon stainless steel. With one-piece hot drop forged construction, knives feature true bolsters.

I haven't tried the classic or Zwilling styles, but these are an excellent price for the set. Most people don't realize that there's more than a hefty price tag to a fancy knife: maintenance. Yes, even the nicest of knives can't hold an edge forever, and the high level of professional care. For those of you who are home cooks who want to treat themselves to something nice for their kitchen, this is the highest level of cutlery you'll require.

The Real Deal! Reviews Ginsu 7108 Chikara 8-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set with Bamboo Block

I got this Ginsu 7108 Chikara 8-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set because I read in Shop Smart magazine (put out by Consumer Reports) that they were comparable to Henkel knives and they sure are. Even the scissors are great. The holder is a beautiful caramel color that the picture does not do justice.
Serrated blade performs like a fine-edge knife and never needs to be sharpened. View larger. Chikara 8-Piece Knife Set with Bamboo Block
Right now Am azon has this Ginsu 7108 Chikara 8-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set with Bamboo Block on sale for only $76.99 (reg. $119.99)! (as 28/01/2014)
After 2 weeks of using this item, I can say that the 8 piece set is enough for someone who cooks a few times a day. The most useful knives that I have found is the 7-inch Santoku and 5-inch utility knife.I am completely satisfied. Like many other reviewers, this was an upgrade from your cheap stamped (cut from one sheet of metal) knives. These are razor sharp and cut through just about anything without effort.
