I bought these for our outdoor kitchen, but liked them enough that I put them in the main kitchen. I've had them for a few weeks. They are very sharp when delivered, with no obvious QC issues. They are heavy, if you like a light weight knife, especially the chefs knife these aren't for you. But if you like some heft they are great. I have a vintage carbon steel chefs knife that I regularly use. This is a very old German knife which being carbon steel rusts and stains. But it's got the best feel, and is quite long which I like for shopped salad etc. The Farberware knife is 4" shorter but weighs as much. I use it for anything thats going to stain my better knife, tomatoes, lemons etc. I don't ever put the chefs knife in the dishwasher but I do put the utility knife in. No rust or staining. All in all I recommend this set, its a very good value. There are certainly better knives around for much more money, but for the price of this set you can't go wrong. Read more
Been using these for a month, they're pretty sharp out of the box and easy to sharpen with the tool provided. I have never been able to sharpen knives properly before because it's so hard to get the angle right, but I love the sharpening tool that comes with this set! It was intuitive for me to line up the angle of the handle perpendicular to the counter, follow the directions to get them super sharp. I think with hand washing and proper care they will last a long time. They feel ergonomic in the hand and well balanced. Sturdy, not flimsy feeling. Definitely recommend, for $30 I feel like it's a great deal! Read more
Love this knife set Sharpener works great Read more
I just received these and unpacked them. My first impressions are of how small and light these are. I had a set of Farberware forged knives with red square shaped handles I liked very much but needed replaced. These feel significantly smaller and lighter than those. The blade shapes are different. Most noticeably on the chefs and the steak knives. I like the new serrations on the steak knives and bread knife. The handles feel really good in the hand. They have a good shape and texture. Some of the knives are really small with really small handles. I don't mind even with my large man hands. They give me the impression of "precision" for whatever reason. Overall, I like them. I expect them to serve me as well as the red handled Farberware knife set. I need to sharpen them and get a feel for the steel used. A few Protips for you because I made mistakes with past knife sets. 1) hand wash and dry them. if you neglect them they will deteriorate. 2) don't leave them lay in the bottom of the sink and let things clang around in there with and on top them. 3) put them away in the block and not toss them in a drawer with other tools. 4) buy a stone and keep them sharp. a few quick swipes to dress the edge every now and then will prevent major work later. Basically take care of them and they should last. if you don't do this you can't blame the knives for chips in the edges, rust, and bent tips. I beat on my last set and I regret it. I hope these are as tough as those were even though I plan to take better care of these. I will edit to update as I use these and develop a better opinion. 8.12.18 update. I have had these for a good while now. a year and eight months. These are tools are not toys so they are showing wear. the blades are less bright as they once were. the "Farberware" name is fading. The handles are holding up just fine. always hand washed and dried, always stored in the block. After this time period of constant use, I will say that I still like them a great deal. It's rare that I let anyone use these knives because I keep them *very* sharp. a 35 dollar knife set... My brother used one recently and he exclaimed surprise in how scary sharp I keep them.yes I am bragging a bit, BUT the bigger picture is that for a 35 dollar knife set I can put and*keep* a razor edge on them. The big chefs will glide through a roaster chicken for a spatchcock style preparation for the smoker. (watch your fingers kids) I have been using 1500 grit wet dry sandpaper wrapped around a ridged hard plastic sanding block then polishing on a 2000/8000 whetstone. if you are on the fence about set to get, I would recommend these.

We love this knife set! We bought it in July and it has held up great so far. Very sharp, quality is great, love the look and cleanness of it.
