Cutlery Sets

My girlfriend loves to cook. I bought this knife set for her as a Christmas present. Our old knife set was 10+ years old and falling apart, so she was really happy to receive this. The knives are sharp, the handles are shaped perfectly, and we love the variety of knives. The in-block sharpener is a great feature too. We have been using the knives for several weeks and are still very satisfied. We always hand-wash and dry the knives to keep them in good condition. I researched lots of knife sets and read countless reviews. I couldn't justify paying hundreds of dollars for an everyday knife set. This was reasonably priced [...] It also had a lot of good reviews."..."  Read more

You can only be married so many years before you need to replace your knives. We have done this piece meal until now. After looking at the mishmash of knives I had to bite the bullet and go for a new set. I researched knives and found this set. It isn't the cheapest nor is it anywhere near the most expensive. It had good and bad reviews. The biggest complaint seemed to be that it is recommended that you hand wash the knives and they may rust if you don't dry them. Since I saw that concern on practically every decent knife set, I discounted those factors. The knives are as advertised. They look good and the block isn't enormous which is crucial for counter space. They cut the way they are suppose to cut and since I am hand washing and drying after each use I see no other issues. If I see an issue I will do an update 6 months down the road. At this point, I think the set is a very good value for the money."..."  Read more

I love how many knives this set comes with, as the block and kitchen shears! I love that all the knives are numbered, and the wood block is numbered as well so you know where to put what knife. On the block next to the numbers is written what the knife is used for, which is also great in helping me decide which knife to use for what product! I just love that! Im an organized person, and like lists and labels.. so to me this is a really great feature! The knives themselves are very sharp and study, when I use them, it doesnt matter what im cutting, it feels like slicing through butter! :)"..."  Read more

I have to admit, you get a little jaded in today's information age. My three year old OXO stainless steel knife set (back in the day highly rated by consumer reports) was not holding up well. Additionally, it had never had a proper sized Santoku (although it's smaller Santoku is still good for small diameter cutting). I did a decent amount of research and decided this knife set was the way to go. The difference is stark. The knives clearly aren't cheap, even if the knife block is bamboo laminate on wood. The knives are well balanced and cut beyond my expectations. I even tackled some old winter squash and got some very clean and low effort chopping on them even though they were tough from being stored all winter. I knew going in that the knives are not dishwasher safe, and that was expected. I expect they will last many years with proper care."..."  Read more
