It's been a while now (longer her gone than we were married), I don't think my lady now would appreciate me bringing home any good quality knives I found in estate sales, I have to watch my budget closely as I'm on a fixed income now .
She's bought at least two sets of kitchen knives off HSN, I don't trust anything bought from the T.V. .
Thoughts ? .

1. Heinkels were German bombers in WW2
2. Henckels are the knives.
We have Henckels for the chef and boning knives, and they are very good. You do need to have them professionally sharpened every so often, and use a steel more regularly. My wife actually prefers a ceramic knife for salad chopping.
The quality of the steel is very important, and you usually get what you pay for.
