5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, March 29, 2007

This knife block set is great for the average home cook! I use it all the time and each knife works well. The kitchen scissors is especially handy, and the knife sharpener is convenient. The wooden block looks really nice next to our wood cutting board. To keep these knives looking their best, try not to wash them in the dishwasher very often or the black handles will fade a bit.

2.0 out of 5 stars Empty slots in the block / Made in China!, August 10, 2011

This review is from: Chicago Cutlery Insignia2 12-Piece Block Knife Set (Kitchen)

The picture & description of the "Chicago Cutlery Insignia2 12-Piece Block Knife Set" don't reveal that the set comes with two empty slots in the Knife Block (i.e., it's two knives short of full). I consider this an undisclosed drawback if you are giving it as a gift. I was also disappointed to see "made in China" on the box, making it unsuitable (to me) as a gift item.

This set has just the right number and type of knives needed for our cooking. They are of very high quality, with all the best features from the blade to the handle. I was amazed at how well they handle. They are nice looking. I can not imagine another improvement they could make.
