1.0 out of 5 stars Not Farberware!!! Don't be fooled, August 9, 2005

These were admittedly a great deal. You can buy only a few knives for the price of this set. But the moment you get them you understand why. First and foremost is the monster lie being propagated here: These are not Farberware knives N-O-T. They are made in China by the Hoan Corporation. I wrote Farberware about this. The knives do not indicate on them or anywhere on any packing that they are Farberware. What does this mean? It means that Amazon is putting that Farberware label on them to move the product. I find that so offensive it's enough to make me want to skip Amazon as a source for online products. The key to any purchase is trust and they've lost mine. So, how are the knives. They are what you would expect. They are full tang and a bit heavy with plastic handles. The block is a piece of pine crap that'll likely split in a few weeks on the countertop. Mine are going back post haste with an angry note about being lied to and deceived by Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good economical set, August 16, 2002

This set was a replacement for my first knife set that my wife and I bought when we got married. The knives are very good quality and fit all of the reccomendations of the pros. They are also quite a bit cheaper than most other brands and you get more knives with this set. They do not dull easily and mine have not rusted even after repeated washings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rusty and Dull, December 26, 2004

Whatever you do, DO NOT purchase this *cutlery* set. The knives are dull out of the box and even after sharpening. The biggest issue is they rusted and stained about a month after we had them. We attempted to contact the manufacturer via email 3 times. We finally received an email and we told that their 'warranty only covers defects in material and workmanship under normal care and use'. Do not purchase this product.
