we have an older set (not vintage) of henkels--the kind of big dept store thing where you get a wooden block with 5 cooking knives and then 8 steak knives. it came with a little "pull through" sharpener thing (looks like little discs in there). it creates a very sharp but thin edge that chips easily. I never liked the knives much so recently saw a sale on a nice set of 7 fleischer and wolf knives on a magnet stand with a similar pull through thing, but it is not discs, and has a 'coarse' and 'fine' groove. It is much better, but i know i still need a honing steel. The F&W knives feel much better to me, and have stayed sharp longer. I've also paid attention to instructions and kept them out of the dishwasher.
