Awesome product!! This set is the best of the best - all perfectly balanced stainless knives and fork with no crummy lightweight plastic handles. The knives slide into the rack just like butter. And to top it off, you won't be rooting around your drawer for the sharpener, it's on the rack.

I bought this set in Feburary, and have been giving them a test drive. Boy I sure like them, they clean like a dream and you never have to worry about germs and crud on them. ( well I didn't exactly worry about my knifes before.....but if you do then you don't have to now.) They realy hold an edge just ask my scared nuckles. I keep hitting them on the knife, you would think I would learn. I also was dicing an avacado holding it in my palm and went through it and into my hand. Now I don't blame the knives, I just think a person should be smartter than their cutlery or maybe I need training wheels. I wasn't sure about them at first, but I had to learn (the hard way) to let my knives work for me. Duh Huh. The hone is wierd but it realy works. I think this set would last a lifetime. The only thing that is funky is the block (plastic) although it seem durable, and you can get over it.
My friend bought an expensive set of Henkels and I would not trade her for my Furi. Go ahead and buy this set.

My husband is a professional chef and he specifically asked for this as a Christmas gift after he had seen a demo.
He is delighted with the assortment of knives, the excellent construction, and the handy knife-sharpener.
Might be overkill for someone who is not serious about cooking.

I would highly recommend this product. These knives are a dream to work with, I actually look forward to having a reason to use them! Impeccable product! However, I will point out that the template showing knife placement that came with my set was wrong, it had transposed placement of the carving knife and fork. A very minor fix, once I realized the mistake.
Amazon's customer service is great, too. One of my knives had a bent tip due to the guard coming off somewhere in the packaging or shipping process. Amazon replaced the whole set, shipped it priority and did not charge me anything extra!

I very much like the knives. They are extremely sharp, ergonomic and handle very easily. It is a breeze to clean them as there are no seams or crevices to dig food out of. The attached sharpener is easy to use, and is adaptable to the other insertable levels that come in the sharpening kit (three step kit not included).
Only two downsides, the block is part aluminum and part plastics, it really should be wood. And I would like to have the 5" santoku rather than the larger chef's knife, but that just my own preference.

I love to cook and have tried many, many different kitchen knives. I visit kitchenware stores wherever I go, and have brought knives back from France, Germany, Japan, and other places. I got my first Furi knife in Australia (where they're from) in 1997 or 1998. It's not a place you think of for fine cutlery, but boy can those Aussie's innovate! These are the best designed knives I own. They feel wonderful in the hand and work like a charm. I look for opportunities to chop because they are such a pleasure to use. I was excited when they started to appear in the U.S.

There stay very sharp and the molded handles give bacteria no place to hide in deference to the orange handle variant. Excellent variety of knives and handles are comfortable.

Only complaint might be the sharpener keeps them sharp as long as you use it after each use. Not effective at all if a knife is really dull. Might as well get out the sharpening stone to give it a big head start.

the knives are not what I expected but the seller has been great, they amke a professional version and that is what I thought these were. These are lighter weight and only one is coppertail.
