Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Farberware's finest, the five heavy kitchen knives in this set are forged from high-carbon stainless steel. Thick, wide bolsters provide balance and safety. Full tangs run through classic three-rivet, poly handles for durability. The knives are an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch slicing knife, an 8-inch serrated bread knife, a 5-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/4-inch paring knife. In addition, the set includes six 4-1/2-inch steak knives with stamped stainless-steel blades. To keep edges aligned, there's an 8-inch sharpening steel. For myriad kitchen chores, a pair of 8-inch shears that adjusts for tension is included and fits with the knives and steel into a heavy hardwood block that stores everything within reach. To preserve the blades' edges, the knives should be hand washed. The entire set carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

A Lost Art,
By A Customer
This review is from: Farberware Millennium Forged 14-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
It seems as though crafting a good knife at a fair price is a lost art. While these knives are forged as advertised (with the exception of the steak knives), I doubt that they are truly made of stainless steel. On the box it indicates that the knives are dishwasher safe, but after the first wash they have rusted. I am sorely disappointed, as I had expected more from Farberware.

These things are junk,
By groff5 "groff5" (Metamora, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Farberware Millennium Forged 14-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
I bought my wife a set of these last year for Christmas.... They won't cut carrots, potatoes, or anything fibrous. I have spent almost a year and at least [money] to try to sharpen them, and after buying the ... chef's choice 3 stage sharpener (excellent machine, by the way)they are now marginal. The problem is the thickness of the blade at the cutting edge. It does not taper to a fine point, but has a huge bevel which will not allow the knives to cut through firm foods. After I buy a good set of somehthing else, I am going to take these to my bench grinder and do some serious reshaping. I think I have become obsessed with these stupid knives!

OK for the money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Farberware Millennium Forged 14-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
There are better certainly knives available but, for the price, this set is more than adequate. The knives were not very sharp out of the box but that was cured by a few minutes with a stone. The blades seem to hold their edges well and that is an important consideration for me.The sharpening steel is more coarse than I prefer but my old steel fits the knife block so it's not a problem. These knives will rust if they are not dried after washing. If you can afford to spend more, you'll probably be happier with a better set than this.
