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.

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.

I received this set as a gift from my husband 2 years ago. He bought it for me because it had the stainless and black handles, and thought Farberware was a good name. We didn't own a dishwasher, so it is hard for me to understand why ... but all the knives got little bits of rust on them within a year of having them, and washing them by hand. Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on this item...

Nice looking set, but they have a tendency to rust. Also I have to sharpen them quite a bit before using them for most vegetables (onions, tomatos). I can't really complain given the price, and in buying Farberware, I shouldn't expect Henckels or Wusthof quality, but I must say that the dullness and rust are very annoying.
