3.0 out of 5 stars Love the idea, but quailty.... February 8, 2012

By Moon

Color Name:Red|Amazon Verified Purchase

For the price I paid for this set, I was expecting a better designed product. While I love the solid construction of the knives, if left with any water on them for any length of time (say you cook breakfast and don't do dishes until the evening) the knives will start to rust. The holder was created of cheap plastic and some of the sheaths are too small for the knives and cause them to stick inside - a big hazard if you are trying to pull one out. Someone could easily get cut in the process. The stand does have a sturdy bottom and the sheaths can be removed, but then your knives are being exposed to dust and other elements of the air while not in use - YUCK!

If you are looking for a cute novelty item in your kitchen that won't get much use, this is the item for you. If you do much cooking in your kitchen and want a good set of knives, look else where. This is not it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Looks cool but the knives suck September 29, 2011

By A. Bauer

Color Name:Black

I had this for a few years in college. It was quite the eye-catcher and everyone had a laugh at it, many people asked where they could get one. So yeah, it was cool, but the knives were of mediocre quality. They are very thick, rust easily, and don't hold an edge well. After a few years in the dorm I elected to give it away rather than keep it, the knives were not worth it. In retrospect, It was worth the 50 bucks I payed for it, because it was very, very cool.

Love this guy! Looks great on the counter. Green is bright exactly as shown. But the knives are quite dull!

I had this set in college. As aforementioned, the knives were a bit dull and weren't of the highest quality. Shame, because I really did like the design. Reflecting on it now, for the price, I would choose functionality over style.

The base looks like metal but it is plastic. I do not like the knives either. They look good but they are not good knives.

3.0 out of 5 stars The stands plastic January 8, 2012

By Pagelicker

Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase

I love the knives but the stand wasn't very solid or sturdy. We did Pay enough money for a better quality stand. On one slot were a knife goes was pretty tight too compared to the others. I do how ever like the way they place magnets in there to help glide the knife in. Over all Im basically using it for decoration.

1.0 out of 5 stars I would have given it no stars if I could... December 17, 2012

By brea thompson

Color Name:Chrome

I loved this product at first. But less than a year into having it I used one of the knifes to cut fudge yes fudge and the blade broke in half. I can't find any customer service to contact so I am going to have to throw the thing out since it looks dumb missing one blade.
