BRODARK Knife Set 7 Piece Sharp Knife Set Without Steak Knives Knives Set for Kitchen with German Stainless

I don’t know how they do it for the price These knives are amazing, and I got them on sale for well less than a Benjamin The package with the block and the knives in it was so heavy, that I needed someone to help me get it out of the inner box. The knives are beautiful, heavy, well balanced. I can vouch, that they are sharp AF, because I cut myself twice unpacking them 😂😂😂 No fault to the manufacturer; they were very well packed. I am just a klutz First time I used them, straight out of the box with only a soapy bath before, was on a tomato and cucumber. I only have the use of one arm, and usually have to get an adaptive cutting board to secure my fruit/veges before I can start cutting them. But these knives were so heavy and so sharp, I didn’t need to do that It cut through the tomato skin like water The hardwood block looks beautiful on my countertop These are beautiful knives on their own. When you throw in how incredibly inexpensive they are… Buy them now. Highly recommended. Read more

These are great knives on a budget, super sharp, nice weight and the wooden block to hold them is very solid and beautiful on my counter! In fact I've bought a couple of sets as my grandparents knives were sketchy at best, and my neighbor loved hers I got for her birthday to replace her sketchy knives and my bestie purchased a set and was surprised at what a sharp, good knife set felt like to use!! Definitely recommend these. Read more

I honestly wasn’t expecting much from these knives given the low price, but I was pleasantly surprised! They’re lightweight, sharp out of the box, and handle everyday kitchen tasks really well. I’ve used them for chopping veggies, slicing meat, and even mincing herbs — no problem at all. The handles are comfortable to grip, and the blades feel balanced enough for casual cooking. Of course, they’re not high-end chef knives, but for the price, they totally exceed expectations. Perfect for someone just starting out, stocking a new kitchen, or needing an affordable backup set.

Just got these, and they seem to be very good at this price. They feel solid, the full tang triple-rivited handles makes them feel like a quality item. Very sharp right out of the box. Everything was packaged nicely, and with care. The block is very nice, however, I'm not yet sure how well the built in "sharpener" will perform. First impressions are that these are well worth the price and will last many years, but time will tell. Happy with this purchase...so far. Read more

I was a little leary of what I'd get. This set was fairly inexpensive when I got but I just couldn't justify spending hundreds of dollars. As it turns out this set cuts very similarly to the $400 set my nanny employer has. They're nice and heavy and super sharp. They're one piece so you won't have to worry about that gunky area where the handle and blade meet. They also look great. I highly recommend them. I think I got them on sale at under $90 but even at their price point now, I'd still say they're worth it. Read more

I have had these knives for almost 18 months now and they have held up great Edge retention is fantastic, and as long as you treat them right and don't leave dried tomato sauce on them for 5 days, no rust to speak of or even any discoloring! The build is fantastic and they are well balanced. I still can't believe I got this set for the price I did. I have a collection of pocket knives, I own Japanese wet stones to sharpen and understand what 8cr13mov, s30V and 14c28n is in knife production. (It's metal alloys BTW.) Having said that, I was a bit picky in finding a knife set that was quality built, had good steel and didn't cost $800. I honestly don't know how they are producing this set and not losing their shirts. Full tang design (One piece of steel from tip through the handle to the butt), and has nice glass fiber reinforced polymer handle material. I can't find any reference to this set in particular for what steel is used, but based on using various steel through the years I have a pretty good idea what this probably is. (BTW, I hate to break to you. At this price, it's absolutely NOT German steel...and that's okay anyway.) Brodark references Japanese VG10 steel with their other stand alone chef knives. It is common in the Chinese knife industry to copy an alloy alloy and call it by it's original name. It's NOT Japanese steel. What is commonly referred to as VG10 is 10cr15mov or 8cr15mov. Both are fine steel to use for a "general purpose" knife and perform similar to Japanese VG10, or even US made 440c stainless...perhaps even a little better than 440c. The steel in these knives is pretty dang hard, which makes me think it is 10cr15mov. The 10 is the Chromium content in the alloy. More chromium, more hard, more hard ='s more brittle. There is a balance of how hard without being brittle. Some knife makers use super hard steel to get a wicked sharp edge that holds for a while...buuuut then after a year of use you see all the chips along the edge or perhaps even a tip has snapped off. That's hard, brittle steel. You can't fix chips unless you grind them down and create a totally new edge on the knife and start over. These Brodark knives find a nice balance of hardness for edge retention but enough give to not chip or break off under general use. Like I said, almost 1.5 years of use and no chips, bends, or scratches. I still can't believe I paid around $50 for them. Incredible. Read more

Great set of very sharp knives and the wooden block is beautiful. Slightly heavier which makes them feel higher quality. Read more
