They are a super nice set & we are enjoying them.

Amazing knives... very sharp, easy on the hand. Greta tools for any job!! Very affordable!

These knives are great -- very sharp. I'm just a little disappointed that the one non-serrated edge knife seems a little flimsy compared to the thickness of the serrated one that's the same size. It cuts well, just feels like it won't last.

All of the foodie knife snobs told me to go with Heinkels or Wüstof. That was about a dozen years ago. Since then, my Made in Germany Wüstof Chinese cleaver is still going strong (with regular sharpening and honing), my Made in China Wüstof chef's knive is as dull as the day I've bought it (never holds an edge for more than a few days), and my Made in China Heinkels sits in the back of the drawer unused. Picked up a cheap sankotu knife (also made in China) at Bed Bath and Beyond Outlet for $15 and the thing keeps an edge better than either of my $90 "German" knives. So to make a long story longer, I decide I need to break down and get a proper set of knives with a block. I remember those stupid Ginsu commercials from the '70s (the one where the dude in the karate outfit cuts a nail with a steak knife then cuts a tomato) and I figure, hell, $37 for 14 knives and a block and 600+ 4-star reviews? Free shipping with Prime and my Amazon benefits knocked the price down to $19. Kinda worried about the whole rust thing, but read the instructions (I know! Crazy, right?) and it clearly says HAND WASH ONLY. Might be problem with lazy or stupid people, but I want to get mileage outta these so, hand wash it is. No biggie. I gotta hand wash my Lodge Ironware so a couple knives won't kill me, unless someone stabs me with these. Which reminds me: DON'T STAB YOURSELF WITH THESE. And if you do, you're certain to get a good clean cut. Nothing worse than slicing yourself with a dull knife. These are razor sharp. They tear through vegetables like ca-ca through a loose goose. The larger knives are a bit thin and flexible, but I'm not stripping a carcass down. The serrated knives should stay sharp a while; the straight edge knives will need a good monthly sharpening (either a stone or one of those handheld dealies should suffice) along with a good honing steel. The steak knives are the icing on the cake. I can finally toss out those old 1950s era hand-me-downs. So if you're considering blowing $300+ on a "professional" set of knives because they're more expensive and therefor the "best," save your money. Most of those elite German knives are made in the same damn Chinese factories cheap-o knives like these are made in. You're paying for a label. If you want to cut meat, fish, and vegetables with ease, you can do a lot worse than these at five times the price.

We bought this unit to replace an old knife holder works great.

very thin metal. Sharp got cut 2x already .

Bought this set for my niece. She loves it. A variety of knives, super sharp, and the color makes them stand out in her kitchen.
