Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The versatile array of five kitchen knives in this 14-piece set equips a cook for nearly every task in the kitchen and the six 4-1/4-inch steak knives outfit the dining room as well. Stamped from high- carbon stainless steel, the kitchen knives are an 8-inch chef's knife for rocking through chopping tasks, an 8-inch slicing knife for carving roasts and poultry, a 6-3/4-inch fillet knife with a flexible blade for fish, a 5-inch boning/utility knife with a stiff blade, and a 3-inch paring knife. Rugged synthetic handles are attached to full tangs with three stainless-steel rivets for traditional style. Also included are a 9-inch sharpening steel to keep knife edges aligned and 8-inch kitchen shears. All the pieces fit in a hardwood storage block slanted for easy access. The knives are dishwasher-safe but should be hand washed to preserve edges. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Comparable to Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 4 Less $$, November 13, 2003
By 
attorney "amy in the oc" (Irvine, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Farberware Professional 14-Piece Fine-Edge Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
I have owned the 14 piece Farberware Professional Fine Edge Knife Set for about 4 years now. They were my first home purchase after graduating college. (Yes, I owned those crappy $20 sets before!) Let me tell you, it was a huge improvement! These knives actually CUT raw meats and chicken with nice slices without tearing it apart!

This set comes with 14 pieces:
8-inch chef's knife
8-inch slicing knife
6 3/4-inch fillet knife
5-inch boning/utility knife
3-inch paring knife
six (6) 4 1/4-inch steak knives
9-inch sharpening steel
8-inch kitchen shears
hardwood storage block

The knives are heavy duty and strong. They are not flimsy like other knives in this price range. Actually, this is probably the best Farberware set on the market in terms of quality and durability. They are definitely on par with the Henckels International Fine Edge Pro set which retails for $200 and are currently listed on Amazon/Macys/RobinsonsMay for about $100. ("Henckels International" is the more economical brand, not to be confused with the "Zwilling JA Henckels" brand which is the premium brand. Same manufacturer, different grades of metal and quality. You can tell the difference by the look of the logo...the cheaper "International" brand has the one tribal guy on the logo, whereas the "Zwilling" brand has twin tribal guys on the logo.)

Keep in mind that with all "fine edge" knives, you will need to sharpen and hone fairly frequently. (Or at least more frequently than a lot more expensive forged sets.) I do it once every few months. But I also do a lot of cutting with them, so the frequency will depend on how often you use them for cutting tough foods. I cook a lot of meats, including cutting up my own chicken, so that dulls the knives rather quickly. If all you cut are veggies, then your knives won't dull as quickly.

They are dishwasher safe, but I don't recommend it because the dishwasher will dull all knives. However, occasionally I toss them in the dishwasher and haven't had any problems.

If you cook often and don't want to pay $200 for a decent knives, this set is for you.
