I was done with my dull knives, I bought 3 of these, 2 as gifts and 1 for myself. Knife at 1st seemed too big, but once I got used to it, it’s perfect and very versatile. It is very sharp but handles well because it’s comfortable in the hand and very balanced. I gifted one to my daughter who absolutely loves her too. Read more

I just received these knives today, so my long term experience with them might vary from this review. Out of the box, these are a very nice set for the cost. The pro’s: All of the 16 knives arrived in the manufacturer box. My set was well packed. All of the pieces arrived with protective knife tip plastic caps, cushion wrapped, all in individual plastic sleeves. The (heavy duty) kitchen shears were not in any of this packing described above, but were in good shape and undamaged. Each knife arrived EXTREMELY sharp. Be careful handling them out of the box. The knife block arrived in vacuum sealed plastic and was in pristine condition and really attractive. The fit and finish of the knives seems top notch. The transition seam where the wood meets the metal on each knife is smooth and perfect on each knife. The appearance of the knives and block is impressive for the money. This is a knife nice set to display. It looks first class. Very upscale. The removable steak knife block is a great idea. Not sure when it can be used in the real world, but a pretty imaginative idea. The one thing that I really like is the kitchen shears. None of the “plastic handle scissors” that come in most sets. These seem extremely heavy duty and ready to cut bones, heavy skin, and any kitchen duties that you will put it up against. (The one thing I have to mention, and mention in the con section, is that although it’s not really that noticeable, the wood used on the kitchen shears is not the same as the knives in the set. They somewhat match, but it is definitely different.) Cons: Like I stated above, each knife was individually packaged…but not the kitchen shears. That was notable, but not a big deal as they were undamaged. And, as I said, the wood on the shears differs from the wood on the knives. Matches well enough, but not exactly. I will say that the fit of the knives in the wood block is not exactly perfect. They are somewhat loose. To have the knives line up perfectly, it takes a few seconds to re-set a few of them to get them sitting identically in a row. Kind of annoying, but not a deal breaker. In conclusion, so far I’m very happy with this purchase. If these hold up in the long run with hand washes and hand drying, I’ll feel good about recommending it to everyone who asks. If you choose to purchase this set, I hope your experience is as good as mine…so far. Read more
