Henckels Santoku is a winner at the price!
I’m a fan of Henckels knives. They hold their edge for a long time. These are really excellent, following the Santoku blade design with grooves on the blade surface to loosen chopped food. These are affordable and high quality.

Nice 2-Piece Knife Set
Been using Henckels knives for many years and they last for years. I did not have this style of knife so I went ahead and bought this set. They are quite lightweight but sharp. They are not a professional grade knife by any means but for random use, they work fine.

Very sharp, very inexpensive, very useful.
If these two knives (we took advantage of the 5 and 7 inch Santoku Chef Knife two-for deal) were to fall to pieces the minute after first being used successfully, it pretty much still would have been a great deal! ;-) As it turned out, they're a bit better than that - a good bit better. The five inch knife is my wife's new go to favorite and while I often use it as well I quite like the seven inch knife, which I find almost as good at food prep as our eight inch Henckel-Zwilling chef's knife costing considerably more. Actually, the smaller size makes them better suited for some jobs than the larger, more traditional knife. If, as I hope and now somewhat expect (after regularly using them both for awhile), these two knives prove to be as easy to keep sharp as their much more expensive, 'pedigreed' eight inch cousin, I think this could be just about the best buy in kitchen knives I've ever made! While I do consider our eight inch chef's knife to be the best knife we own, to me, the Santoku style, with it's much straighter edge, actually has many advantages over the 'standard' knife, particularly with some vegetables. Both are very useful kitchen tools that I like quite a bit, and considering how little they cost, my wife and I are very glad to have them.A genuinely "good" knife should, in my opinion, be easy to keep sharp over the course of it's entire lifespan, the length of which should match or exceed my own. Whether that proves to be the case with these remains to be seen, but they already have proven themselves useful and valuable additions to our collection of better kitchen tools and I suspect they will remain so for some time to come. My wife and I are totally happy with our purchase and given the extremely low cost, I don't really see how we could think this wasn't a great buy, even if, as I jokingly mentioned earlier, they fell to pieces the first time they did any serious work. They didn't. :-) We love 'em!
