Henckels’s International line offers affordable cutlery from one of the world’s most renowned knife manufacturers. A great value for a novice cook, this 13-piece set contains the following: 2-3/4-inch paring knife, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife, 5-1/2-inch boning knife, six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, 9-inch sharpening steel, and a graphite-painted storage block. Formed of contoured, almost cushy santoprene, the handles are handsomely-backed with brushed stainless steel for added leverage and a sleek, contemporary look.

Fine Edge Synergy knives are constructed of stamped German stainless steel with hand-honed blades that can be resharpened (unlike the company’s Everedge knives that have identical handles but micro-serrated edges). The molded handles are quite comfortable and resist breakage, and the full-tang blades slice and chop with ease. All the pieces store in the included graphite-painted wood block. Made in China, the cutlery is dishwasher-safe yet best washed and dried by hand. A lifetime warranty applies. --Ann Bieri Fine Edge Synergy 13-piece block set includes: 2.75-inch paring, 6-inch utility, 5.5-inch boning, 8-inch bread, 8-inch chef's knives.

• Stamped, mirror-polished, stainless-steel, micro-serrated blades
• Durable, hygienic, polypropylene handles
• Lifetime warranty against defects

The blades in this set of slim, lightweight knives are stamped in stainless steel, and their edges are microserrated and therefore touted as never needing sharpening. The handles are formed of tough polypropylene and are seamless, allowing for better hygiene. The set includes six kitchen knives, six 5-inch steak knives, and a rubber-footed wood block that has slots for them all. The kitchen knives include an 8-inch chef's knife with a curved blade for rocking through a chopping task; a 5-inch tomato knife with a narrow, curved blade; an 8-inch bread knife; a 6-inch utility knife; a 6-inch boning knife for meats, poultry, and fish; and a 2-1/2-inch paring knife for peeling and cleaning vegetables and fruits. As a bonus, a pronged-tip knife designed to slice cheese and spear the slices is included. While the knives are dishwasher-safe, they should be hand washed to preserve their edges. Unlike Henckels's premier knives, which are made in Germany, these knives are made in China; however, they do carry the company's lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

The difference between the Plus collection and regular Everedge knives lies in the handles. Formed of contoured, almost cushy santoprene instead of polypropylene, Plus handles are handsomely-backed with brushed stainless steel for added leverage and a sleek, contemporary look. Ideal for a student apartment or vacation rental, this 13-piece set includes: a 2-3/4-inch paring knife, 6-inch utility knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife, 5-1/2-inch boning knife, 5-inch tomato knife, 6 4-1/2-inch steak knives, and a graphite-painted storage block.

Because of their light weight, Everedge Plus knives are well-suited to small hands and also help reduce tiredness when a large amount of food preparation is required. The molded handles are quite comfortable and resist breakage. While not precision-ground or hand-honed, the stainless-steel blades nevertheless slice and chop with ease. Each features a different serration depending upon its function. All the pieces store in the included silver-painted wood block. Made in China, the cutlery is dishwasher-safe yet best washed and dried by hand. The product is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri Everedge Plus 13-piece block set includes: 2.75-inch paring, 6-inch utility, 8-inch chef's, 8-inch bread, 5.5-inch boning, 5-inch tomato knives, hardwood block and 6 steak knives 4.5-inches
