Summary: 3 Stars
I love the look of these knives, the way they cut through my steak and the fact that I paid under $20 for the set of 8 . The reason I give them a 3-star rating has to do with the design of the handles.
The handles on these steak knives are vary narrow and even in my small hands they feel awkward. The width is about 1/3" which to some may feel classy, but to me just feels 'not quite right'. While you really don't have to get a death grip on them to cut a pork chop, it's nice to have a utensil fit comfortably in your hand when you use it. Certainly a personal preference, but something to consider if you are looking at purchasing this set.
As for the 'stainless' debate...they seem stainless to me. (I hand wash and dry them after every use.)
Customer Review: Not a good choice with my set.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the complete set of J.A. Henckels 8 Piece Stylus Block Set with the extra block to hold these knives, as listed together in the option of buy all three.
These knives are inferior to that lovely set and I thought that they would make good additional knives to use when cutting things. The Stylus set has these wonderful ergonomic handles, these do not. The best thing about them is that they are made out of one solid piece of steel.
THe bad thing is that they are serated, not sharpen-able like my nice Stylus set that I love. Mismatch. They look and are made for putting down beside the dinner plate. Not for cutting vegtables on any kind of regular basis, too clunky. Not what I was expecting in that set.
