5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy Knives, September 17, 2006

This review is from: Calphalon Contemporary Stainless-Steel 15-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)

These knives are gorgeous! They really are sexy. Every one is forged from one solid piece of high-carbon German stainless steel. There are no other pieces attached to form a handle, pieces that could come loose over the years. They are full tang knives, meaning the metal of the blade continues all the way through the handle. They are substantial and feel solid in your hand. They are masculine and minimal. The only "frill" being a light sandblasting on the handle to provide some grip. They look great in this single guy's stainless kitchen.

Now all that being said, the slight negative is that this knife set left me still wanting more. Assuming you keep the six (great) steak knives with your regular cutlery, the knife block is left with four extra slots. The reason for this is that this 15-piece set still does not contain the entire "Contemporary Stainless" collection. Three of the knives are 8 inches and the two smaller knives, utility and paring, are kind of basic straight knives. So the day after I bought this 15-piece set, I went and bought the tomato/bagel knife and the 5" boning knife. There is no cleaver included either, and there may be others.

Just because this is not a complete collection doesn't mean these knives aren't great or aren't worth it. I highly recommend them and give them five stars. It's just good to know what you are getting, as well as what you are not getting. These knives will blow your old, plastic handled, Ikea knives out of the water!
