Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Stored in a hardwood block, the five kitchen knives, kitchen shears, and hand-held knife sharpener in this 8-piece set are always within reach. Though the medium-weight, stamped knives won't suit serious cooks seeking top quality, they're perfectly acceptable for a novice cook. Their blades are made of stainless steel and have 18/8 stainless-steel handles with soft, Santoprene accents for a nonslip grip. The knives are dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the edges. The five kitchen knives include an 8-inch slicer, an 8-inch chef's knife, a 5-1/4-inch utility knife with a serrated blade, a-5-inch boning knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. The entire set carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

This review is from: Farberware Soft-Grip Stainless Steel 8-Piece Knife Set (Kitchen)

I DO ALOT OF COOKING AND APPRECIATE GOOD QUALITY CUTLERY. THE PRICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN INDICATER THAT THIS SET WAS NOT FOR ME. THE KNIVES WERE DULL WHEN I PURCHASED THEM AND STILL DULL AFTER SHARPENING THEM. THEY ALSO GOT LITTLE RUST COLORED WATER MARKS WHEN PLACED IN THE DISHWASHER.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pure junk, July 6, 2002

These knifes are pure junk. I have the chef's knife from this set, and the thing is absolute trash. I hand-wash all of my knives, and this one is rusting. The blade is thin and flimsy and it won't hold an edge. I accidentally dropped the knife onto my linoleum floor and the tip actually bent to a 90 degree angle!

I wouldn't even use this thing to trim shrubs in the garden.

When I put them in the dishwasher, they became discolored. They're sharp enough to cut open my finger, but not to chop green peppers and celery nicely. They got two stars because I also have a set of Stanley knives - which have rusted in under six months.
