Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The Farberware Traditions line features classic-look cutlery at an inexpensive price for the home cook. Each knife blade is constructed of high-carbon stainless steel that has been precision ground to a very sharp edge. A full tang gives the knife added strength and weight for balance, while the triple-riveted composite handle is ergonomically shaped for comfort. Not as heavy as some knives, Traditions cutlery especially suits smaller hands or those who prefer a lighter weight for chopping and cutting over extended periods of time.
This Traditions 21-piece block set supplies a novice chef or a new couple setting up a kitchen with an excellent assortment of knives, as well as poultry shears, kitchen shears, and an 8-inch sharpening steel. The knives consist of the following: 3-1/2-inch parer; 5-inch utility; 6-inch boning; 6-1/2-inch fork; 7-inch santoku; 7-inch cleaver; 8-inch slicer; 8-inch chef's; 8-1/2-inch bread; and eight 4-1/2-inch steak knives. Each piece has its own storage slot in the natural wood block, which is angled for easy access. While the China-made knives are dishwasher-safe, Farberware recommends washing and drying the cutlery by hand and covers the set with a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Farberware Traditions 21-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
I have owned this set for about a month now and I can safely say these are a good mid-level set. The knives were sharp out of the box and made well. the steel is a good guage and do not flex like my previous starter set. The steak knives have not rusted in the dishwasher but I do hand wash all the other chopping, dicing, and slicing blades. I am an average size man and can safely say that the handles on the smaller knives are a little smaller than I would have liked, or I am too used to the big injection molded plastic from my previous ones. That is the only complaint I have. I frequently cut meat, Dice vegetables, and just flat out use them. The price can not be beat and I am very happy with this purchase. I will continue to use these for quite some time.

A sharp buy for a starting cook,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Farberware Traditions 21-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
Knives are a real challenge for a cook. I vividly remember my early cooking days trying to prepare meals with low cost department store/discount store knives. Bad knives mean slow preparation, poor quality cuts and frustration.
Great knives on the other hand require an investment that most starting or part-time cooks simply can't justify. Higher quality "never need sharpening" knives can be useful but are generally limited. What is needed are knives with real blades, that can be sharpened, that have the right weight and are at a low cost. These knives come very close... Pro's --Cost is very low(lower than most "low quality" sets and 100s lower than high end knife sets). --Blades are good. --Includes a large variety of knives and scissors. In particular two cleavers. --Good set of steak knives Con's --Handles are small...the balance is affected and cutting quality and speed will be impacted. --Blades do need to be dried after hand washing...rust can occur otherwise but this is steel that NEEDS sharpening. --Blade weight could be better. I bought these as a set of knives for a second kitchen(my other is in fact a higher end set also by Farberware). I like having slicer, cleaver etc. nearby so I can use the right tool for the job at hand. If you are looking for a set of knives that has a good selection of blades and have a tight budget I can't imagine a better set. In particular if you are not a full time cook this is a low cost way to get real knives into your kitchen.

Absolutely disgusted, but only because I don't like rust.,

This review is from: Farberware Traditions 21-Piece Knife Block Set (Kitchen)
If you're an avid fan of rust then by all means, buy these knives. I've had mine for a little less than a month and my wife and I always hand washed them. They RUSTED in the drying rack. We're not talking about days or months submerged, nope just overnight in the rack will do. I swear they had little rust speckles right out of the box. I should have known better though because I read a review like this one, but ignored it so I guess I got mine. Farberware must have specially engineered the stainless steel to rust faster. I am severely dissapointed, and unless you like rust you will be too. oh, and they hold a terrible edge, but I'm not a chef so that really didn't bother me.
