I have owned Global, Shun (ken onion series), Furi, Ran, Henckles, Wousthof, Chroma, Mac and most recently, got myself a Haiku. I cook professionally, spend my days in a professional kitchen, I have 14 sets of knives ranging from 3pcs to 8pcs sets. I love knives.

So, here is my review of these knives. Good utility knife set. Handles are big enough to fit in your hand, sharp enough to do "simple" cutting, blade is thick enough to stand abuse and they are very light. Rating, Price, quality and performance were all considered as a WHOLE.

Workmanship, I would say, it's excellent for a $4.00 knife set. I can't compare them to my other knives which cost 10x or 20x more than these. But, considering the price I paid for, they are great. I keep them by my side especially the serrated ones.

And I'm just sadden coz, people should know, there is no such thing as "stainless steal" or rust proof knife. They all stain. That's why never, ever put your knives in the dishwasher. Wash them by hand and dry them with a towel. Even with care, with age, you'll notice staining on your knives. Good luck.

For the current price (four bucks) these are a good deal. Just don't expect them to be very sharp. The blades are unusually large and unusually thick. This makes them strong, but not sharp.

So sharp I cut myself the first time I used them ... I must have been thinking of my OLD knives that I passed along to someone else. This little set was such a good buy! I am quite impressed and didn't think I would like the colored handles... I do! It is very easy to pull them out of the block and know which knife it is because of the color. Granted, they don't match my wooden Chicago Cutlery set, but the quality is still there! I liked them so much I bought TWO sets. You can't go wrong @ 3.99 for FOUR knives! A+ in my book.

Three out of the four knives began rusting after only one or two uses. I am not suprised because they were so cheap, but I am surprised by the good reviews. Perhaps my situation is unique, but nothing else in our house is rusting!

This set of four knives is the same great quality of more expensive knives and they are a fraction of the cost. The knife blades are Chicago Cutlery quality at the best price I've ever paid for a knife (much less a set of four) ever in my life. The sturdy colored handles make it easy to identify each knife blade, they contour fit the hand well and you can leave in water without the worry of warping. With four knife blades to choose from there is a knife for almost anything you need to do in the kitchen.

I find myself going to these knives all the time. The variety of the blades make them useful for all kinds of kitchen tasks.

They've been through the dishwasher several times and are holding up great so far.

I originally bought them as a "filler" for my shopping cart to bump myself up to $25 and free shipping. But I am seriously considering buying a second set for myself, and a couple as gifts for family members.

I've been looking all over for these! Over the summer my mom bought some at an outlet mall, and we LOVED them! You don't expect much out of something so cheap, but these were probably the best little knives I've ever used. I've been looking for a set for myself for quite some time, and I finally found them! I'm throwing out all the other useless knives I have in my drawer.

GREAT KNIVES FOR THE PRICE!

I am not a chef or a cooking snob, so from just an average user, I think they are great. I really appreciate the different colors which make it easier to grab the correct knife for the correct application faster and with less digging to find 'just what I need'.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Every knife drawer needs one or two sets of these. (Yes, 4 knives, 4 bucks!)

This little set of knives is a great deal. They are color coded for easy recognition when working fast. They are very sharp and comfortable in the hand and the handles are very comfortable to the hand. The price can't be beat. You can also look at the 3 piece set that is similar to this one. I bought both sets since they are so reasonably priced and the size and shapes are a bit different between the sets.
