Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This high-quality knife sets combines high performance and durability with desirable safety features. The key to this combination is the blade. Blades are made from high-carbon stainless steel, which resists rust and discoloration. Each blade has a small bolster at the handle to assist your cutting control and balance. The edge is hand-ground to Chicago Cutlery's exclusive Taper Grind edge, tapering gradually for a smoother performance than traditional blunt angles. For added safety, the blade extends through the handle and is held firmly in place by three stainless-steel rivets. The walnut handles are ergonomically designed so you can face a marathon chopping session. This set includes a 3-inch paring knife, a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, a 5-inch boning knife, a 5-inch utility knife, a 6-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, and a pair of scissors. To help keep your knives safely sharp, the set includes a sharpening steel, and there's a storage block. --Laura Cuthbert

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Starting Set, November 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Chicago Cutlery Walnut Forged 9-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)

I recently purchased this set after spending several weeks trying to decide which set was right for me. Not a chef, just a regular guy who likes to cook. I looked at several competators and decided that, for the price, this set was the best one out there. I've had the opportunity to use most of the knives at this point and I find that they keep their edge very well and are extraordinarily easy to clean up. They have a nice heft to them and the handles seem to be just the right size. The only drawback that I see is that I would have preferred an 8" chefs knife instead of the 6" that comes with the set. Overall excellent for the price and an absolutely sufficient set for novice.

I needed a new knife set to replace a jumble of mixed knives collected over the years, most of them not very good. But the fancy German brands were outrageously over priced. One of the few good knives I had was a Chicago Cutlery boning knife, It is very sharp, well made and filets a fish cleanly. So, when I saw this set of forged (not stamped) knives at a price below a single one of those German treasures, I tried it. And I am not disappointed! The workmanship is top rate, the blades razor sharp and the grip and feel is excellent. Construction is full tang, brass rivets and walnut grips. The finish is polished and smooth. Add the boning knife and you have everything at the price of one of those other brands.
