I did hours of research on affordable knives, that also had an aesthetically pleasing look to them before *finally* committing to a purchase!
Boy, was I glad that I did! These have been fantastic! I haven't had to use a sharpener at all yet (Though it is recommended after so much use)! I have nothing but good things to say, honestly, but I don't want to be a cliche, so lets get down to teh basics.
I was mainly looking for a quality Chef's Knife, Paring Knife and Carving Knife - everything else was a bonus! The peeler works wonders! I have a garden and had loads of cucumbers this year, and the peeler cuts like butter! I almost weeped when I used the carving knife as well - I had an unthawed pack of bacon that needed to be cut into cubes - no time to stick it in the freezer to get a bit solid - so I broke out the carving knife and NEVER have I had an experience where the blade just went straight through unthawed meat like that! I was *AMAZED*.
Need I say more? If you are having doubts, don't. Just go for it! It's a great, affordable product that looks beautiful on your kitchen counter. Make the plunge!
I don’t know about durability yet as I just received mine today, but omg is this knife set beautiful...it looks so classy and delicate, you’d think I spent at least $50. I used one of the smaller knives to cut through some heavy-duty tape that was sealing a box, and not only did I cut the tape, but I also ended up cutting right through the box very effortlessly, so be careful because they are very sharp. Absolutely in love so far
UPDATE;
Have had this for a little less than a month and the knives are already scratched from sharpening it. The blade is no longer black, and looks damaged. They are still sharp, and the sharpener helps a lot but I just wish the blade didnt start pealing whenever I sharpen it.
First of all, I didn't realize that I was ordering "2" with my one order, especially for the excellent price point. I had originally bought this for my son's college apartment. I am SO glad that it was a set of "2"!! So far I am loving them. I have been wanting to replace my old set of knives and have been putting it off. I am very pleased with this knife set. The clear display block and the way it is displayed gives an elegance to the set.
Btw, awesome email reminding a review so that's something to look forward to! The knives work well, all showed up in minimalist packaging and are good quality. Came very sharp and the sharpener includes a maintenance sharpen setting and an after every use setting. Very cool.
The cheese and pizza knives are definitely the stars here. I never realized I had a difficult time cutting cheese until using this. Now it comes with cool patterns and doesn't stick to the blade. And the pizza knife is way easier than a pizza roller, which I wasn't expecting in the slightest.
The stand is rigorous plastic and works well. I personally would have preferred wood cuz that's just who I am but the plastic is stylistic and not disproportionately large for what's included.
If your debating getting this for a whole set need, this is definitely worth the price.
Update: have had for about a year or so. The black fijish on the most used blades has started to come off as I expected. Also, one of the stainless steel knobs that help insert the knives in the stand comes loose if you let it. Overall still very much worth the price and regret nothing.
Nice knife set. Really great seller also. My girlfriend loves this set. They are really sharp. No fighting to cut meat with this set. Unlike our previous set. They have been washed many times. No signs of rust. I've never used a pizza knife before. It works great. Really sharp but honestly prefer a
regular pizza cutter. The knife gets you had close to pizza top "unless I haven't used it as intended" which is highly possible. But it cut pizza with ease. Haven't used knife sharpener yet but We are very happy with it all. Thanks for a great experience and set
For now very sharp
First time I used the knife to cut a pineapple I couldn’t figure out why it was not cutting good! I look and see the metal is 2 pieces and the pineapple is stuck in between the 2 piece blade.
I’ll be returning this immediately
This is one good-looking knife set, and the knives work very well. The thin design of the holder doesn't take up a lot of space, yet keeps your knives very handy. If you're short on counter space, but don't want to rummage through a drawer to find a knife, this set is perfect. It looks great on our predominantly black granite counters against the tan stone backsplash. I would definitely buy this product again!
Loved these knives! They’re beautiful, comfortable, and work perfectly for personal cooking!
It’s a very cheap set of knifes, they are are already starting to warp and don’t cut very well at all. I have been using them for 4 months.
It has been a week and the knives are sharp, easy to handle, and looks great.
Good
