5.0 out of 5 stars Good Knives, Great Brand, Great Price, August 24, 2007
This review is from: Chicago Cutlery Bistro Forged 10-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
Good knife set for the average home cook. They are sharp, look good, and functional for daily needs. The knives had some stains on them when they arrived, but they could be washed off with a little warm water and soap.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chicago Cutlery Bistro Forged 10-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
I'm into cooking, but I don't have the funds to splurge on one of those fancy European or Japanese knife sets. I looked at all the sets under $80 that Amazon had, and this seemed like the set that best suited my needs.

If you're looking for a set that's well-priced and exceedingly functional, this is the way to go. Instead of having a bajillion steak knives (I hardly ever have company over besides my boyfriend), you get a handy-dandy mezzaluna that makes mincing and dicing fast & easy. They also include a santoku (so I can imitate my favorite chefs on Food Network), and a curved peeling knife that is surprisingly useful for prepping potatoes and other round produce. Top it all off with a storage block and pair of scissors, and you're styling. Why settle for mere basics like a chef's knife, bread knife, and paring knife when you can get more?

The knives themselves have a nice weight and feel to them, and they're extremely sharp. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I have no idea why it's so cheap on Amazon, but you better snatch this one up before they run out or increase the price!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the quality expected, December 26, 2007

This review is from: Chicago Cutlery Bistro Forged 10-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
Over the years I've owned Chicago Cutlery so I didn't hesitate in picking out these for myself. At Christmas I watched as my sister-in-law opened her set also bought here at Amazon. She got the Chicago Cutlery Insignia Steel 12-Piece Knife Set and was thrilled. I didn't need such a big set and have limited space on my counter tops so I didn't ask for the set she got. Also I was looking for a storage block that was black.

Then I opened my Bistro set and couldn't believe the difference. First off the handles were made of "Onyx Polymer." What it feels like a very inexpensive plastic. They make some of the smaller knives have practically no weight to them at all. I've owned a pair of Chicago Cutlery shears for over 20 years and love them. They have plastic handles so this was a huge let down when I got this set. The quality I'm use to is just not there.

I can't review the blades as I'm returning the set. Over all the set reminds me of some of the sets you'd find at a discount store and even at this price not up to the Chicago Cutlery usual standards.
