Forged Synergy Asian Knife Set, 2-piece, Black/Stainless Steel,16026-000

I have several of these Henckel Forged Synergy knives and recently ordered this set. I am an average cook and these knives are a nice upgrade to my kitchen. They hold their edge and the weight of the handle is substantial for a nice, balanced touch, easy to use. I love the clean, minimal look and I hope Henckel will consider retaining this design in their line up.

I have small hands but like a substantial handle on knives. These are easy to hold, no slippage. They are sharp.

Disappointing.

Nice and sharp. Hoping they won't rust like the other set I had (different brand). The Henckels knives I already own have held up great, hoping for the same from this set.

I bought these to round out the standard J.A. Henckel knife block set. The standard set has several open spaces on the storage block. I bought these to fill the holes. When they arrived, I found the knives to be the same high quality as the rest of the knives. The surprise was how useful were the new additions. They fill a niche for those small cutting jobs. I am glad that I bought them.
