Note that this is NOT the Henckels International Everedge 13 Piece Knife Set. No, this is the Henckels International Everedge PLUS 13 Piece Knife Set.
So what’s the “Plus” for? One word… Carbon. These knives are high-carbon, the set without the “Plus” is not. Carbon is nice to have in a knife. It helps the knife retain a sharp edge. The downside is that high-carbon knives will stain if you leave them in water.
So if you want to soak your knives, get the set without the “plus”. If you want a sharper edge, go with this one.
I can’t give these knives a top recommendation. They’re not terrible, and they’re quite inexpensive. But you can get better quality knives for just a little bit more money. I recommend you check out the three essential Forschner Fibrox Knives and then add an inexpensive set of steak knives. True, you don’t get as many knives and you don’t get a block, but they’ll be better in the long run.
If you’re dead set on getting a dirt-cheap 13 piece set with matching block, the Henckels are not a bad bet at all. How’s that for a ringing endorsement?
