This is true to my title. I love the Cuisinart knifes, I bought this set as it was on a sale and loved it! But unfortunately, sharp as they come, they are not strong. I was chopping garlic one days and the knife just broke into half. Worse, I've sent the knife for a replacement and it's been over a month, I have yet to receive the replacement!!

I am giving 2/5 because an unreliable knife and bad customer service doesn't make anything sharp worth it's money.

I purchased this set because I want a nice set that had the minimum basics at a fair price. I find that these knives are very light which is a little awkward for my preference, but I'm not a professional chef. I also found it scary to use, because they are extremely sharp. I was a little disappointed to find that there was an extra slot which made the set appear incomplete. I purchased an extra utility knife to fix that- but that was added cost that I didn't expect after paying for the set. My guest have all commented how SHARP these knives are when they use them. All in all, these knives do the job for me and I've had them for about a year and haven't had any problems. I would recommend to purchase these if you are looking for a very sharp set.

Like the first reviewer, a knife broke in half the other day. I've had mine nearly four years and they have performed well otherwise. The set is attractive, but seems to be poor quality. They have a nice edge, which is certainly a plus (the sharper the knife, the lower the chances you will cut yourself). MSRP of 200 is a joke, but $50 is not outrageous.

I don't know how Cuisnart can say these knives retail for $200.00.
They looked and felt cheap. I returned them without using. I felt they were hyped beyond what they really were.

I like this very much. I do not need too many knives which is the case with most knife sets. The knifes feel good in hand and good to cut with. I really like the look of this set. Only complaint is one slot of the holder is left empty. They should have filled that too for a complate look.
