J.A. Henckels Four Star 18-Piece Block Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was perplexed when I saw Twin Four Star, as I'd never heard of such a beast.I went to the Zwilling website to discover, there was no such series as a Twin Four Star - There's a Twin series with several product lines and there's a Four Star series.

My husband then suggested that I look up the model number to see what other site's listed.Sure enough, when you plop the model number into a search engine, you get a listing corresponding to the FOUR STAR series along with the prices - all upwards of $400.

So, to my dismay when these were listed @ $218, I jumped on it.I'd carelessly lost one of ours from our current FOUR STAR block set (only 9 pieces) and to replace it would have cost us $60. So for $218 to have 16 more knives was too good to pass up.

Needless to say that I love these knives, which is why I was on here trying to replace the one I'd thrown away.

PS, We bought our original set while we were in Germany.What we were told by the knife guy (assuming he knows what he's talking about) is that the only difference between the FIVE Star and FOUR STAR series is the handle.

Update:I've received my knives and I have a mixed review.The knife sharpener is not the same one I received with my first Four Star set.It's of a lesser quality, and a bit shorter.The steak knives leave much to be desired as well.The blade may be good, but the handles look cheap. I compared the other knives to these and they are exactly the same, so no complaints there. The only other difference was the block; the Henckel logo was stamped, as opposed to a nicer metal doodad.

When I saw these on sale, I regretted buying my in-laws the 20-piece Calphalon set only days before (on sale for $200).But after my experience with the steak "Banquet" knives, I'm happy I bought them the Calphalon set instead.

If I paid a cent over $219, I'd be upset, give it 3 stars, and return the set for a lesser count.But, at that price, the set was a great deal.
