Customer Review: At this price level, you can't beat these knives!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just placed an order for these knives as my first real set. My parents own this same 13-piece set, and after *at least* eight years (I grew up with these knives) they've remained very sharp and shiny. Of course, I plan to update my review once I've received my own set and have put the knives to light daily use for a few months, but having had eight+ years of experience with them at home, I know they're top-knotch if you're not willing to pay at least $100.
I give these knives 8.5 out of 10, and that's **ONLY BECAUSE** I know that for $800 Henckels knives, you'd probably get a better set of knives. But then again, who wants to drop that kinda dough on knives??
As others have noted, these are definitely towards the bottom of the ladder as far as Henckels offerings go, but that is still saying a heck of a lot as far as quality, performance, and durability go. The Japanese-made stainless steel may still be considered second to German-made steel knives (in notoriety for sure, whereas any difference in quality is debatable), but these carry the Henckels name for a reason (and I'd contend that the Japanese steel isn't all that noticeably inferior to top-knotch German steel blades anyways--they might even have perfected their craft in Japan). Really, only the most demanding (or uppity) of chefs will find these knives lackluster in any way, since I think once you get into paying $400 for knives, the next $100 will only buy you so much more in terms of quality. (I mean, really, how nice can knives get before you begin paying for names and niche appeal...?)
In any case, definitely go for these knives (I think they're a bit of a best-kept secret as far as delivering high quality at an affordable price), which have served my parents heartily for eight years and which will hopefully serve me equally well. :)
P.S. I got these for 39.99, and while Amazon's "Suggest Retail Prices" are usually overinflated, I'd say anything under $60 for these knives is probably worth it. If you're a home user (i.e. NOT A PROFESSIONAL), I doubt you'll find any insufficiencies with this set.

Description of J.A. Henckels International Everedge 13-Piece Knife Set with Bonus Cheese Knife
Equip your kitchen with a set of knives from one of the most esteemed names in cutlery. Representing value, as well as a recognized brand name, these knives never need sharpening and are economically priced. As well as the basics for food prep, this set also contains six steak knives and a bounus fork-tipped tomato/cheese knife.The blades in this set of slim, lightweight knives are stamped in stainless steel, and their edges are microserrated and therefore touted as never needing sharpening. The handles are formed of tough polypropylene and are seamless, allowing for better hygiene. The set includes six kitchen knives, six 5-inch steak knives, and a rubber-footed wood block that has slots for them all. The kitchen knives include an 8-inch chef's knife with a curved blade for rocking through a chopping task; a 5-inch tomato knife with a narrow, curved blade; an 8-inch bread knife; a 6-inch utility knife; a 6-inch boning knife for meats, poultry, and fish; and a 2-1/2-inch paring knife for peeling and cleaning vegetables and fruits. As a bonus, a pronged-tip knife designed to slice cheese and spear the slices is included. While the knives are dishwasher-safe, they should be hand washed to preserve their edges. Unlike Henckels's premier knives, which are made in Germany, these knives are made in China; however, they do carry the company's lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
