before purchasing, i read the reviews and noted that i should hand wash these knives... and i've been doing just that and placing wet knives in my dishrack to air dry. maybe that's where i went wrong (i should have towel dried them as well?), but the knives still rusted, and that is NOT making me happy. i have another knife that looks just like these, made by Cuisinart, that DOES NOT rust, even when washed in the dishwasher. i'm wondering why these rust so much. isn't "stainless steel" supposed to resist rust?
other than the rusting issue, the knives are very good. they are incredibly sharp. however, with the rusting issue, i wish i could return them...

Now, I use to think knifes were just knifes, until I bought my first KitchenAid block-set. These things cut through anything. I recently moved, and gifted my last set to my sister, and thought I would upgrade to an all stainless steal model. I figured these, being stainless steel, would be dishwasher safe, however, once I received them it said not to use in the dishwasher. That is my only regret, with this set, other than that, they are wonderful, but if you don't like washing by hand, try another set. I washed my other set (with non-stainless steal handles) in the dishwasher, and eventually one of the handles cracked from the heat, the blades however held up perfectly well. I might still try and clean these in the dishwasher, but for the price, I don't want to chance it.
Pros: Sleek looking, well made, sharper than any blade I've used before...
Cons: Not dishwasher-safe, only 6 (rather than 8) steak knifes.
UPDATE: Finally, after almost 4 years, these knifes are starting to be too dull for tough steaks. Even after eventually deciding that dishwashing is something I had to do, they still have made it almost 4 years. These do rust if you don't have an air dry cycle on your dishwasher, but it seems to rust more if you rinse and forget to dry it properly.

My wife got me this set for christmas a couple years back and I absolutely love them. If you do the research you would know there are 3 kinds of materials used for most knives. Carbon steel which is soft, cheap, does not hold a sharp edge for long, and rusts. Stainless steel which is hard and keeps a sharp edge for a while but, is really hard to sharpen. The best of both is high carbon stainless steel which gives you the best of both worlds, which is what this set is made of.
The 3 big knifes are amazing. The spine (back edge) is rounded for comfort. The bolster (where the blade meets the handle) is rounded and extremely comfortable to use for long periods. Also the bolster / heel design eliminates the chance of cutting yourself from a sharp edge at the base of the blade. The balance is really good as well. These are really comfortable knives to use for extended periods of time. If you do not know knife skills please look them up and use a pinch grip for slicing and chopping. These knives are almost ergonomic for the pinch grip. I second guessed the quality of this set I got as a gift till I saw how much thought was put into the design and researched the materials used. These are my best knives I own and I use them daily with pride.
If you use your knives daily you will need to care for them. Cut on only plastic or wood, hone with the sharpening steel every couple of uses (more on that below), and keep it sharp by a professional or sharpen them on your own. Never put a quality knife like this in the dishwasher. When you are done with it rinse it and wash if needed, hand dry and place back in the block. Not only will it keep your knives in their best shape but it is a basic safety measure. Dishwashers destroy sharp knives. Not only do the detergents damage the edge, but the heat can weaken the temper of the edge since it is so thin. The carbon content of these knives will rust if not properly taken care of. This is not pure stainless, this is a professional set of high quality knives. This might seem rude, but if you cannot take proper care of your knives you do not deserve this set.
The sharpening steel is a name that suggests it actually sharpens, it does not. It should be called a honing steel. What it does is straighten out the edge to correct any rolling of the edge that has happened after use. The steel included is very good and magnetized to collect burs that might be removed during honing.
I have had these knives professionally sharpened and then started sharpening them myself. They hold an edge very well and the quality of the metal shines through. I do not know of another set that has so many great design qualities and is made of such fine materials for the price. I would recommend these to anyone and buy them as gifts if only my friends cooked at home as much as I do.
My only complaints are:
- the scissors are not as strong as I would like. I replaced them with a more robust pair
- the steak knives are a bit blunt and not too sharp. I used a sharpening stone to sharpen them to my liking. I understand why they came that way though.
- the serrated knife is a bit small and hard to work with. I would of liked a bigger and better designed serrated / bread knife.
Still not enough to dock a star for the price point.

These knives are horrible. They don't hold any kind of good sharpness at all. I have to buy a new set after just one year. I am very disappointed with KitchenAid.
