Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The semiserrated edges on these four knives make precise cuts or long slices and are ideal for steak, roast chicken, pork chops, or whatever meat you're serving. For durability, the knives are fully forged of one piece of rust- and stain-resistant, high-carbon stainless steel that runs through blade, bolster, and tang. The full tang offers balance and strength when slicing and is triple-riveted to the poly resin handle. The handle is reinforced with fiberglass to prevent moisture from getting between the rivets. These traditional-style steak knives come in a slotted wooden tray for safe storage in a drawer when not in use. Calphalon knives are covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

I was a little surprised with this set. Don't get me wrong, you should buy it, but the edge lacked a little of the visual refinement of the rest of the line. Also, the block of wood shipped with the knives is made of pine, or some other very soft wood. It would be nice if it was a Maple match to the block that shipped with the 15 piece set. This is a very good set, but it could use a little help upon arrival with a very fine whetstone, and a proper hardwood block. If you don't mind 2 minutes per blade with an ultra fine stone, this set compares well with the best of the two big homegrown German brands. Don't get me wrong, this set is far above any stamped steel set (even the stamped offerings from the big German brands). Buy it and enjoy!

I have had these knives for about 6 months now and could not be happier. They have excellent balance and feel. A major improvement to the stamped knives that comes with the Calphalon 15 piece set. The wood storage tray that comes with the knives is not very nice (light pine with no finish), but I don't use it anyway.

Despite my by-the-book care of these knives, I still get rust stains that are nearly impossible to get off. I do not have that problem with other knives in my collection, but these clean up like cheap steel. Not very attractive, and you don't want to eat with them.
