I tried a few knife sets before settling on this one. I tried the Kitchenaid & Farberware sets and they cannot match the quality of these Cuisinarts. They are so sharp that I had to change the way I prepared vegs - they are like razors! They are heavy and well balanced. Did I mention sharp? Be careful!

These knives are not meant to compete with Wustof, Henkels, and Furi knives. What do you expect for $100?

However, as a set of everyday knives I have found them to be very nice. They keep an edge after I gave them a proper sharpening, they look nice, and they get the job done without messing up your nice knives. I have a few pieces of professional cutlery and of course these don't compare, but I'm not going to throw $1000 down to get that type of set, either.

Pros:
Attractive set with a nice block.
Clean up easily.
Hold an edge for a good amount of time.
Inexpensive.

Cons:
Not balanced (nothing is for this price)
Handles are a tad small for someone like me with large hands.
No slot in block for Santoku.

I did some lengthy Internet research prior to buying this knife set. I wanted a REALLY nice set (nicely balanced, remained sharp, very dependable), and did not want to pay the outrageous price of other sets. I am not a professional cook by any means, but do a lot of home cooking with four kids. I rate this set a 10/10, and would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I bought this set to replace our odds and ends collection of kitchen knives and could not be happier. The block gets the knives out of the drawer and now I have something that I can keep sharp. I good sharp blade and an easy to grip handle, makes all the difference.

This cutlery set is great.
We just got married and it is wonderful for us.
It comes with a great wood block, which does not take up a lot of space. All of the blades are very sharp and are easy to hold.
It is the best set we have had. (Thanks Dad)

I got these knives because I had a cheap wood block with knives of all kinds on it ..NOW I have a way nicer block, a sharpening tool, bonus knive..and all these knives really ARE super sharp..had to get the block with the scissors for conveniant kitchen use..I would recommend these to friends and family because I like them

Won't by anything refurbished again. These knives were all extremely dull, and one the sm paring knife had a crack in the blade near the back. Also two of the knives had small knicks, including the bread knife . They should have never been on the market. I did not send them back, too much hassle. I did sharpen them, and are now usable. Spend the extra and get Trident, there is no comparison.

This is a great knife set for the price. My sister in-law used the set when she came to visit and she liked it so much she went home and bought a set for herself. Knifes stay sharp - have to be careful I've cut myself a few times (I'm so used to dull knifes). The only down side is that they don't do well in the dishwasher. I had read other reviews about the cuisinart knifes prior to purchasing that said they did ok in the dishwasher but my experience is that they tend to rust. Much better to just rinse and dry right after use - worth the time to me to keep them in good shape.

This is my first "real" set of knives and I love them. They are very sharp and well balanced. I didn't realize how dull my old knives were until I cut some vegetables with these. My only problem with them was that there wasn't a place for the santoku and I was expecting the steak knives to be serrated. Other than that I love!!! these knives.

I've now had these knives for almost a year and thought I would update this review. When I was looking around for a new set of knives and choose these, I saw a few reviews saying that there was a problem with rust spots on these. I have had no trouble with them at all. As long as you hand wash and dry them right after use they will be fine. I have one knife with rust spots but that is from having it sit out all day during a bbq with sauce all over it. As long as you take good care of your knives they will last.

These knives are already showing spots of rust despite washing by hand & drying. Very disappointed in quality of finish.
