## Description

The 3-piece knife set features the most essential knives in any kitchen. This set includes a 3-inch paring knife for peeling vegetables and creating garnishes, the 5-inch serrated utility for slicing through soft interior, hard exterior foods, and the 7-inch Asian-style santoku that features a blade that has small indentations, known as grantons, that prevent food from sticking while cutting. The forged bolster construction of the Forged Premio knives seamlessly transitions from blade to handle for durability and balance. Fabricated from high-quality German stainless steel, the satin-finished blades produce precision cuts and are honed for long-lasting sharpness. Curved for comfort, the ergonomic triple-rivet handle features a stylish, stainless-steel endcap that adds aesthetic appeal to your knife block. Stamped with the single man HENCKELS’ logo, this Halberdier symbolizes Forged Premio's superb quality at a remarkable value. Set includes 3-inch paring, 5-inch serrated utility, 7-inch hollow edge santoku.

Review: German Quality at a Chinese Price - I originally purchased this knife set for our ski house as my old Wurstoff Grand Prix set (30 years old) came up missing when a seasonal tenant moved out. I like the Henkel's name and quality. The steel is German made and the knife is made in China, keeping the price affordable. I was delighted with the balance, sharpness, and ability to hold an edge and kept using it after our older set turned up. Since I have brought it home and have been testing it head to head with my 15 year old Shun santoku knife. They are comparable in performance although I paid $140 for the Shun in 2008 and obviously much less the the Henkel's santoku. Both are very sharp and hold an edge well. The difference is in feel and balance; they are very different. The Henkel's is a tad heavier (7.5 oz v 7.1 oz) and the handle tilts down slightly. The Shun handle is level but feels slightly pointed up. The result is that the Henkel's has more authority if you are cutting into something more fibrous. While the Shun is lighter and a tad quicker. So, both are excellent and may be used for most of your kitchen chopping and cutting needs. I always hand rinse/clean and wipe my knives frequently during use and after. I have found I can use a small amount of Bar Keepers Friend (a SS cleaner) to keep the knife blade fresh. Incredible quality for the price. One caution: look for Henkel's Premio. There is a seller passing off much cheaper Henkel's knives as "Premium." This is a deliberate attempt to mislead. Do not be fooled!
Review: A very nice set of knives - I have not owned them for very long, but they seem to be of good quality. I've previously owned knife sets, from chef's knives to very cheap ($7) sets. They all cut, and most of them can be kept sharp with a sharpener. What I usually do not like about the more professional knives is that they are too heavy (and not well balanced), and too stiff, and they can feel a little cumbersome to work with. While the cheaper knifes are often not stiff enough, and often have bad or even unsafe ergonomics/design. This set is actually pretty good in terms of weight, stiffness, and ergonomics. They are very well balanced, so when you work with them they feel light and very easy to work with. The curve is also excellent on these, cutting (in the chef's way) is easy and natural. They are also not too stiff, offering a tiny bit of flexibility, but enough stiffness to feel safe and secure that the knife will go where you want it to go. The handle offers good grip and the hand is safe from any sharp edges. In short; well designed, well balanced. Hopefully they will last long.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and value!
*by R***. on December 14, 2015*

I love every knife in this set! They came sharp, but I still gave them a couple passes over my ceramic rod before first use. The edges hold up nicely and they cut great through most everything I throw at them. I retired my old Ikea damascus chef's knife and all my others. I have since bought most of the other knives I need from the Forged Synergy line and I am very happy with all of them. They look beautiful together and with a little care when washing and a nice dry, they stay shiny and spotless. These are the nicest knives I have ever owned. I have a real hard time spending hard earned money on kitchen utensils as I am not a chef, I don't even play one on TV. I do however cook...every day, and having a decent set of knives has made it even more enjoyable than it already was. I wish they made a carving fork and cleaver in the Forged Synergy line but I have been able to find ones that complement them well anyways.
