The knives are sharp and sturdy. I like that there is a built-in sharpener and the slots are pretty much all the same size so you don't have to guess which slot each knife fits into. The set looks professional. see less

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE...These are the best knives I have ever used, and I work for a meat company. These are just as good of a quality if not better then a knife that my company spends [$] each on. I defenitly recommend people to buy this set. see less

I purchased the Kitchen Aid Triple Riveted Cutlery set for my son's wedding shower. My soon to be daughter in law loved them and reports that they uses them all the time. Both love to cook, so it was a sharp gift that they will use for many years to come. see less

I have had these knives for 2 years and they still look new. These are the best knives I have ever owned. I take very good care of them. I oil the block and hand wash and hand dry all the knives before I put them in the block. I would really like to know if the people who had block problems oiled the block and put the knives away dry. It's wood! Hello? Follow the directions and you will be fine. see less

I bought this for my cousin's housewarming party and she loves them ! SHe uses them everyday and so far she hasn't complained. I thought they looked so nice I'm considering buying a set for myself! see less

I've read all the reviews ... see more

I've read all the reviews and decided I needed to add some positive reinforcement for this set of fantastic knives. I purchased these after lots of shopping around for price,quality, and availability. I have been overjoyed with their performance on all tasks from slicing a tomato to cutting hard crusted garlic bread! I like the sturdy craftsmanship, they look expensive,and the quality is superb. I utilize these puppies on a daily basis and I've never been disappointed. I can't, however, speak to the rust issue because I hand wash and dry my knives as a regular practice as I've been told its better and keeps them sharper. I'm off to chop some carrots! Happy cooking! see less

Beautiful knife set! the wooden holder looks great on the counter. The knifes cut so well and feel wonderful in your hand. There is even a built in sharpener! I looked at so many sets, but this one was a great quality and the style I was looking for! see less

I got this knife set as a bridal shower gift. I use them every single day and I love them. Before this set I had a set that was about [$] less but the quality was not very good. These knives cut well and feel good in your hand and I love the built in sharpener! see less

I purchased this knife set for my new kitchen and I absolutely love the look, weight and feel of the knives. see less

I'm very surprised by how ... see more

I'm very surprised by how many negative reviews this knife set has received. I've had this set for over a year and have yet to be dissatisfied. I do quite a bit of cooking for my family and use these knives nightly. No, they are not dishwasher safe, but even the highest quality knives recommend hand washing to extend the life of the knife. I let them air dry after hand washing and have not seen any rusting. For the quality and look, the price cannot be beat. These look perfect with our stainless steel appliances. see less

My husband and I received these knives as a wedding gift, and we love them. They cut steak and chicken very well. Plus, they look really nice sitting on my granite countertops. I have been putting them in the dishwasher, and so far we've not had any problems. see less

Ok, for those of you who ... see more

Ok, for those of you who can read, this will be a great knife set for you. The directions SPECIFICALLY say, HAND WASH ONLY. So of COURSE they messed up when you put them in the dishwasher. I purchased my set over a year ago and NONE of my knives have any rust, the block is in perfect condition, and none of the knives have dulled at all and these are used on a daily basis. I hand wash (keyword "hand wash") these as soon as I am finished using them, dry them completely before placing back in the block and have had no problems at all. Some of the other reviewers probably left them sitting in the sink for a while before washing them which will 1. dull the knives and 2. cause them to rust. If you actually take care of your stuff you won't have a problem. see less

I received these knives as a wedding gift a couple months ago, and they are fabulous. The candy apple red is bright and pretty, and adds a nice pop of color to my kitchen. The scissors are also really nice for cutting meats and pesky packaging. They are nice a sharp, and great for chopping vegetables. My only problem is that even after hand washing them and carefully drying them after use, the red paint is beginning to chip off of some of the handles and the metal underneath is showing through. Other than that, I really like them. see less

I have several other expensive knives and as far as cutting these seem to be the best! They are sharp and smooth. The only downfall is that they rust easily if you put them in the dishwasher or lay them out to dry. You HAVE to wash and dry them immediately. I made the mistake of doing both. They are a little bit rusted and don't look as pretty as my other knives but I use them everyday over them. see less

I love these knifes, I have had them for about 5 months now and they are still very sharp and I have not had any rust problems like, but my dishwasher does do a really good drying cycle. I have not had to sharpen them at all so far and I use some everyday. They come clean very easy. I really like the handle feel on the bigger knifes very comfortable to hold. The steak knifes are serrated and the big knifes are smooth blade except the utility knife is still serrated. Great knifes and good price (It got them for regular price but I have seen them for $ before, on sale) see less

I bought our set about 2 mos ago and it's worked out great for us. It seems like most complaints are with rusting, but we followed the directions and hand wash our knives making sure they don't sit and rust. We don't run them in the dishwasher. These knives cut wonderfully. Good product at an affordable price. see less

First, these knives look great in the kitchen! I chose this set of knives because the blades are also colored. I had seen just a couple of other sets, but they didn't come with the block. These knives are sharp, and durable. I look for something to cut every time I'm in the kitchen! see less

Unlike many other reviewers, I did not receive these as a gift, I had to fork out my own cash to get them. I did do some research before purchasing. Great set for under [$]. Full tang, triple rivited. Having 8 steak knives is a plus. Block has extra slots to add more knives. My knives slice through a sheet of paper without any difficulty. These knives are weighted well and feel great in my hand. I gave four stars for quality because they are made in [...]. I hope this review helps you in your knive shopping experience. see less

My husband and I registered for the item for our wedding, although we didn't get it we used our registry close out coupon for it and are so glad we did. The set includes all the knives we need and the block even has some extra slots to include some other knives we had/purchased to add it it (i.e. a bread knife, a cheese knife that came with a different gift). The knives are sturdy and cut cleanly and smoothly through anything we've used them for. I liked that it included scissors, a sharpener, and 2 more steak knives than we noticed with other sets. A definite worthwhile buy! see less

I just recently received the Calphalon 16pc Cutlery set as a gift and I really like how the set looks on my countertop. The knives are all very sharp and cut well. They fit well in any size hand.I would definitely recommend this item to others or even purchase this as a gift! see less

I just bought this electric knife today after having my eye on it for quite some time. [...] First off, I love the style (I replaced an older electric knife I had from the same company in white)., as the mass majority of my kitchen appliances are black and brushed stainless. The case is sturdy and holds the unit, blades, and fork (another great addition) seperate. The knife has plenty of power and works like a charm. see less

I purchased this to cut u ... see more

I purchased this to cut upholstery foam into couch cushions and it worked very well. Holding the power switch on gets tiring to the fingers after a while, and it is sometimes tricky to keep fingers from covering the cooling vents on the handle. It did warm up with use. Overall, it was worth the price. The case that came with mine easily snaps open and shut. I can see where some would find the handle large and others not. It is 8" long and the diameter ranges from 5.5" to 7.5". For cutting foam, it offered a comfortable grip. see less

I received this as a wedding gift and it is very nice! Better than priced, it comes in a very nice case and cuts so easy. Not sure how some rated it w/ a big handle. Its an electric knife...where do they put the wiring and such??? Handle is NOT to big. see less

I just bought this set of ... see more

I just bought this set of knives, and unpacked them. I must say, these feel really nice in the hand with great fit and balance. I love the way they are one piece and look like solid steel even though they aren't. The handles seem to be just the right size and shape or my hands. The variety in this set pretty much covers anything you might need to do with a knife in the kitchen. I'm not sure about the durability yet, or sharpness out of the box. I do consider myself a pretty good knife sharpener, so I'll be straightening the edges out myself and touching them up whenever it's needed. Over all I am impressed with the knives, but there are a few minor irregularities in finish, shape, and straightness if you look close - that's why I only gave them 4 stars for quality. The solid bamboo blocks are........VERY HEAVY. They won't be moving around much on my counter. If they were sold by the pound, the blocks alone would be worth the purchase price. see less

Initially, I was happy with this particular purchase. However after about two months I noticed a crack running down the center of the blade of the chef's knife. Very surprised by this, I contacted Target, explained the situation to them [...]. Thinking this was a fluke thing, I immediately purchased another set. Less than a year later, my new set was dull and rusted. I was really surprised at the poor quality of these knifes. I really expected much better. Being frustrated, I finally decided to buy an entirely new set of knives. [...] see less

My bread maker makes very large loaves of bread. Very TALL loaves. As a result, the slice dividers don't quite reach the tops of my loaves. I get around this by simply being careful since I use an electric knife to slice with. Other than that one small issue, this works great as a guide to slice bread with. I definitely recommend an electric knife as well - electric knives go through bread so much easier. see less

These scissors are quite large. They would be perfect for opening mixed salad plastic bags or 30 piece stack of paper easily. They come with a plastic safety blade cover. But, what I love most is KitchenAid's one year hassle-free replacement and life time warranty. see less

I purchased a set of Onei ... see more

I purchased a set of Oneida kitchen knives but read up on the basic care for all stainless steel. Stainless is not stain proof and depending on any combination of factors can become pitted or stained. The most consistent advice for keeping cutlery from degrading is to HAND WASH in mild detergent and dry immediately after use. A simple online search will lead to lists of destructive agents (for example, kitchen salt) in which cutlery should not be allowed to sit for extended periods of time. Dishwashers and dishwasher cleaning agents can be very destructive. I have other "expensive" knives and always clean them immediately to avoid damage. I love my new knives and plan to enjoy them along with my professional knives for a long time! see less

These knives are nice & sharp and are comfortable to hold in your hand. I love the sleek design. I have had them for 2.5 years and they are still in very good condition. I do not have a dishwasher so I can't speak to their durability on that front, but I have soaked them in water overnight and have had no problems. see less

I purchased this set of knives because we had not yet received the block set that we registered for, and we just needed something cheap to get us by. I am extremely surprised by these knives. I know that Henckels is a great name, but I did not expect such great knives for the price. Now we have our knife set, and these fit right in the wooden block. You would never know that they were so inexpensive and from Target! I have been using them for about 6 months now. I hand wash them, and I have not had a single problem. see less

I wanted to get some good kitchen/all purpose shears and these are great!

These Henckels paring knives are ideal for small jobs in the kitchen. The blades are super sharp and resharpen easily. The different shapes work great for different fruit and vegetable sizes and shapes. The brightly colored handles make it a snap to get the right one out of the knife safe and the handles have just enough width to be comfortable in the hand.Even my skeptical spouse likes them.

The cover snaps on, so it won't fall off. see less

These are very good knives. The reason for only four stars is because I thought that the term "fine edge" meant that the edge was smooth, which is what I wanted, but these edges are slightly serrated. However, they are sharp and cut well. see less

We have owned this set for more than 5 years. I really like the way it looks and I am very pleased with the quality. We haven't sharpened the knives yet, they still are very sharp - I don't know maybe I don't use them as much as other people, but I cook almost every day. I was very surprised to read that someone complained about them getting rusty! I wash them after using and wipe them with a kitchen towel and they still look great. I ordered this set as a house warming gift for my brother 5 days ago, it came quickly, in a perfect condition. The only flaw I would like to point out is that it has a hole in front of the "base", right in the middle, as if for scissors, which is not included. We simply bought a pare of scissors in black, and it fits in quite nicely. see less

I know I am not the only one out there that is really bad with a sharpening steal or wet stone. While hubby was deployed our knives started getting really dull and more dangerous. I picked this up and it solved the problem for a while. about once every 2 months I have to get my knives out and sharpen them. My knives aren't great, but this seemed a bit odd. They stayed sharp for 2 years when I bought them. Don't loose the instructions as each slot has a different purpose! see less

This knives are amazing! They cut through everything really easily and stay really nice and sharp and they're very easy to store in my drawer with the blade covers. I bought these as a replacement for another Kitchenaid set I had and I always found when I was digging around in my drawer to find them I'd be afraid of cutting myself but the covers are the perfect solution and they're even easy to rinse out and clean when I'm washing the knives. I've actually had a couple friends go out and buy these after trying them out at my place and everyone seems to love them. see less

I wish they would have put the size of the knives on the description as they are smaller than expected. They are good quality knives and they cut very well, but they are only 3" & 4" blades. The dimensions given on the online description is for the overall length, but most knife sizes are given based on blade length. I like the fact that they come with covers for protection. And as I have said they are good quality knives that do a good job. Just a bit smaller than expected. see less

I like how the 2 rows nestle so you can store in in a drawer. We did not need the steak knifes so we put those away and put some extra paring knifes and other favorites in thier place. The knives that come with the block are good for the price. Works perfectly so now no more ugly block on the counter and no sharp edges exposed in the drawer. see less

My wife and I like to coo ... see more

My wife and I like to cook a lot, and rarely eat out, and we wanted to get a decent knife set in our wedding registry, and luckily my brother picked it up for us. We've been very pleased with this set, over 2 years later. One complaint is that it gets rust build up if left in the sink over night, or if the steak knives are put through the dishwasher, so we only hand wash all of them now. The knives have held their edge very well through the years, and I've only needed to use to steel on the two we use the most, the chef's knife and the small santoku knife. It would have been nice if they had included a bread knife in the set, but there were two extra slots in the block that we were able to round our set off with. For the price, you probably won't find a better set of knives. Treat them well, and they'll last a long time. see less

My husband bought these f ... see more

My husband bought these for me as a mothers day gift last year, and they are wonderful knives. I have had other nice sets, but this set I believe is the best yet. They are still as shap today as when we first bought them. I would NOT reccomend putting them in the dishwasher though, because it will dull your knives. It says it it your instruction care content, but one was put in there by accident, and is duller than the others. (Not by much, but there is a slight difference. Its still sharp.) I highly recommend them! see less

I first bought this block set a year and a half ago, since that time I have been rounding out the rest of the set.I liked these knives so much that I had to have the rest of the set.I have other, more expensive Henckels knives, but these honestly perform much better. Not to mention hold a better edge. see less

I had a set of far more e ... see more

I had a set of far more expensive knives. But these were what I bought to fill the gap when those were stolen. My old Mesermeister chef knife alone cost 4 times this set. This entire 4 piece set contains about every knife one would generally need in a proffessional kitchen, minus a serated bread knife. These knives are made of soft steel. You will need to sharpen them. --Note a "steel" doesn't sharpen, it only hones. It will make it perform sharper. Once the edge is gone, however metal will need to be ground off to resharpen it. I have a stone and do sharpen these fairly often.-- Many cutlery stores offer free sharpening. Also if you know a cook or chef, I am sure they would be pleased to assit you. They will not hold the edge of a knife of superior steel, nor will they hold it as long. However, for the cost these are fairly good knives. I however, would not recomend them unless you know how to sharpen with a stone or know someoneone willing to do so fairly routinely. see less

I bought this set of knives at the Target store in Eureka, California. I like the weight, sharpness, and handling given the price. It is the red color that is the problem. After about a month the coloring began to flake off and I found bits of it in the food I prepared. What exactly is the red coloring? Is it a plastic coating, paint, something else? Is it dangerous if consumed? I have been using them for about a month and preparing meals for my family, should I be concerned? I would not recommend this product. see less

When I started using these knives, I was very disappointed to find that they are very dull and don't sharpen very well. One of the knives had the tip broken off when I took them out of the box. After mangling several onions and peppers, I decided to get a better set of knives for chopping vegetables. If you need knives for more than opening letters and plastic packaging, I strongly recommend getting a higher quality set. see less
