I bought these knives almost 2 and a half months ago and half of the knives are already rusted! I hand wash and leave them standing to dry, but I’ve already set one aside to throw away because I don’t want to touch food with it.
I haven’t had these set up in my kitchen for one whole month yet, and I just used them for the first time 4 days ago. I hand wash them the two times I’ve used them and the two knifes I’ve used are rusting immediately. I regret my purchase and wish I would have purchased a different set of knifes. I’m upset that I spent this much money on them. It’s unfortunate to be stuck with knifes that I purchased at the end of last month (August) that are rusting after two uses and two hand washes.
These knives are good for what they cost.
I can’t complain much since my other knives were nearly falling apart, however they’re comparable to them.
My favorite part about these knives is the color, because they definitely don’t cut smoothly or seem to be very well made. The block itself is jagged so the knives don’t line up evenly & it irks me.
I was super excited to order this set of knives because the color looked beautiful and would match with my kitchen! I had read reviews saying people received imperfect sets with scratches and the knives rusted within a use or two, but others said theirs was perfect so I gave it a try!
Unfortunately, mine came discolored and scratched. Honestly, the scratches wouldn’t be the end of the world....but the knives aren’t even the same shade of blue/teal (some look more green)!! Someone else’s review stated they received imperfect ones and had sent them back and ordered a new set only to again receive a defected set, so I will be returning these and not buying again. Because people claimed they rusted quickly, I did not bother using them before putting back in the box, therefore I cannot comment on their sharpness or cutting ability.
So sad to see these go because the color is so pretty, but they look pretty ridiculous when they’re not the same shade. My boyfriend also noticed they weren’t the same shade before I said anything (he saw them first).
I read the other reviews about scratches and did not experience that with ours. We love this set.
These knives are GREAT! Great quality, really nice color (I've received several compliments!), and the selection of different cutlery is really great. I'm Korean and if you know anything about Korean food, you know that we use scissors to cut EVERYTHING. I was pleasantly surprised to see a really great scissor in the mix, as well as a knife sharpening tool, so that we can get the most out of our knives.
The only con I can see now is that it does rust a bit, but as long as you keep them dry for the most part it shouldn't be a problem. Definitely recommend, especially if you're on a budget! Oster makes some really great products and this is no exception!
These were purchased to replace an aging set of similar knives from a different manufacturer. They appeared to be similar, but we found them to be duller and when we tried sharpening them, they didn't come up to the same standard as our old set. The delivery time was far longer than we had expected, as well. Sad to say, we did return them and will wait until we find a set that meets our expectations.
Wow! What a very nice and sharp set of kitchen knives! Almost every blade is serrated. Which is what I was looking for in a knife set. It has 8 serrated steak knives! And the handles look really nice. The only thing I don't like, is the lazy Susan on the bottom of the wooden block. I plan on removing that. Other wise, I definitely give it a 100!

I had to drop my rating to 4 stars.
Because, these are not dish washer safe.
The steel starts to rust if you wash them in the dish washer.
The only way we could keep the rust off.
Is to hand wash with a green scrubbing pad.
I was super excited about this purchase and couldn’t wait to get them. I just unboxed them and almost all the knives look like they have been burned on the bottom and one came almost looking like it was full of white rust. Super sad about this! They look like such great knives but so unhappy with the grubby look of them when I unpacked
I love the colour and that I can put in dishwasher and not rust. They cut great. Did have imperfections but not too noticeable to return. Worth the buy as I got on sale and got a discount because the holder was brown both times I got them and said would be black. Great customer service with Amazon.
These would be ok for a starter set or college kids but they are too flimsy for a family kitchen. They look and feel cheap. The metal is flimsy and the handles are cheap plastic.
I have reordered this item as the first seems to either have been misplaced or someone took it I have since installed security cam!!! New one was delivered successfully
Nice little knife set. Just Needed a little sharping off of the box and one handle was a little chipped, but nonetheless nice set.
I really like the set of knives... They work well and I got a good deal buying them with a microwave... A win!!
Looks nice but the steak knives don’t fit evenly into the slots. Too much of a hassle to return it so I cut out a few of the slots to make it even. Pretty cheap knives but I figured that was the case. It’s alright
Very cute knife set. It comes with scissors and a knife sharpener. Colours are really nice, matches the color scheme in my kitchen
Not sharp. And blades are not sturdy. Bends really easy
Gorgeous knives ! Fantastic colour . Love them .
