I purchased these knives in the stainless steel version (they only have the faux wood ones on here now) and quite honestly they were a disaster! They were indeed sharp, and an extrodinary value for the money but the rust was irratating. I am a very good cook, and own very expensive knives, but figured I would get a 'cheaper' set for occassion. My mistake, as even after cleaning and completely drying them, the next day therre would still be a slight coating of rust on the blades. I was forced to remove the rust with brillo! and finally just threw them out. Farberware claims they made a batch of these knives which were accidentaly not rust proof and mailed me another set. guess what, their replacement set also began to rust!!...

I gave these 2 stars because they do manage to cut, however they discolored/stained the first time I put them in the dishwasher, very lightweight. The carousel is pretty flimsy also. Save your money and invest in a quality knife set!

I could of brought a better set in Big Lots. Knives rusted after first wash. Carousel is flimsy.

Bought this and loved the fact that it was "dishwasher safe," and believed because it was Farberware it was a good product. After four months of use, all the knives have little dots of rust appearing. DO NOT BUY THIS SET!!!

This 16-piece knife set sounded great, said it was dishwasher safe, and was Farberware. After five months of use, every knife in the set has started rusting! Too bad Amazon doesn't have a zero star in their rating--that's what this item deserves.

The first time i had any experience with this little rotating wonder was at a friends house. I agreed to watch her little darlins' for the weekend about 9 months ago. I found myself referring to this wonder all weekend, for EVERYTHING. It is amazing how useful and handy this equipment is (and not just for dinner); by Sunday, I knew that I was going to have one of my own. I do. Through the chain of events, I asked a different friend to stay at my house over the weekend (3 months ago), to watch my 4 dogs, she became as dependent on the rotating tool box as I did. So, as a surprise, I bought her one. It's neat, clean, tidy and HANDY.
