The media could not be loaded. Full disclosure, I did receive this item for review. That being said, the company did ask for an HONEST review and that is why I agreed. This is a very nice knife set overall! I do enjoy the design of the block, it is sleek and takes up less counter space than a conventional block. The magnetic side feature is very handy! That being said, I can tell the top will be scratched up quickly. If you miss the mark and hit the wood, it scratches. This is partly due to the sharpness of the knives themselves, which is actually a good thing. The knives are sharp and seem to hold their sharpness well. I cook 3 meals a day, from scratch, so my knives get used every single day. I have owned this block for 3 weeks and haven’t had to sharpen or hone any. Although I do believe my utility knife will need sharpening soon. The weight of the knives is overall good. I’d prefer the chef knife to be a little heavier but that’s personal preference and it isn’t a deal breaker. The knives are comfortable to hold and overall very beautiful. I’m educated enough to know dishwashers are not for knives so I won’t ever be able to comment on their rust resistance! Hand wash those knives :) Overall I’d recommend these knives. They are a very nice set for the price! It was a great upgrade from the kitchen aid block we received as a wedding gift 17 years ago! Read more
Beautiful, very sharp knife set. They feel great in the hand and the block is beautiful, although darker than pictured. I haven't owned it long enough to determine durability, but it's a fantastic value for people who love cooking at home. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I couldn’t be happier with this 17-piece knife set! From the sleek design to the high-quality blades, every detail has been carefully thought out. The knives are incredibly sharp and make cutting, chopping, and slicing effortless. The magnetic block is a standout feature—it not only keeps the knives securely in place but also adds a modern, organized touch to my kitchen counter. It’s so convenient to grab the knife I need without fumbling around. I also appreciate the variety in this set; it includes everything from a chef’s knife to a paring knife, and even kitchen shears! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cook, this set has you covered. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen tools. It's both functional and beautiful—a total game-changer! Read more
Very nice looking set. They are well made and feel heavy and are sharp. Read more
This knife set checks all the basic boxes for me. The balance and build are excellent. They have a full tang with three smooth and well-spaced rivets to ensure the handle stays secure, and a seamless butt that emphasizes their quality. The blades are extremely sharp from tip to heel, letting the knife do the work, while the bolster blends into the handle very smoothly making them easy to clean. They come well packaged and protected, each knife encased in plastic with a cardboard sleeve and a plastic tip guard. The beautiful magnetic storage block arrives in bubble wrap. The block is innovative with both sides containing a strong magnet to hold the larger knifes, and slots in the top for the eight steak knives and two smallest knives. Did I mention the block sides are magnetic? Only one side is needed for the included knives, leaving another whole side to hold either more knifes or small metal kitchen utensils at the ready. The block itself is heavy and well made with a smooth finish and rubber feat. It will look beautful and sophisticated in any kitchen. The knives cut cleanly and straight. There's not much more annoying in the kitchen than a knife blade that tends to cut on a slant. I tried them first on a lemon, and it cut so cleanly there was little to no juice lost, even cutting thin slices. The Damascus style pattern on the blades is nice but fairly faint, which is fine with me. It gives them character without screaming for attention. The only weakness, is the set has, in my opinion, is the pair of kitchen shears. They have nice blades with integrated a hook-type bottle opener and a cracker/twist bottle opener. The weakness lies in the grips. They're lightweight plastic and feel rather inexpensive compared to the knife set in general. I'm sure they'll last and do their job well, but pulling the shears out of the block is a little disappointing after handling the knives. This is a very minor downfall considering the various qualities offered by the rest of the set. I would strongly recommend the purchase of this knife set to anyone that enjoys working with quality utensils in the kitchen, or wants to give a thoughtful and memorable gift that will last for many years.

I bought the 17 piece set and it was worth it. The knife set was bought a year ago. The knives are all sharp and I have yet to use the knife sharpener. The knives are solid and the steak knives are used daily. Then there are the scissors. Sharp yet fully functional. Easy to debone or cut bones. I waited a year to post this because I wanted to give a functional review. So onto the washing. At first I only hand washed them. Through time I started dishwashing them. I am pleased to report that there have been no problems dishwashing them. I highly recommend this knife set. Read more
Nice knife set, wasn’t able to use tho, was too tall to fit under cabinet so never even tried using them. Block is to big for our taste, magnet works great! Read more
This knife set with block is the most beautiful piece of kitchen equipment I’ve seen. The knives are sharp and easily cleaned while saving space. They provide versatility in use as well as providing space for a few frequently used knifes that are not a part of the set. Customer service before and after the sale is unsurpassed. I will buy from seller again. Read more
