Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Add a stylish accent to dinner parties with this affordably priced set of 8 stainless steel steak knives, which comes with an attractive black gift box--perfect for table presentation. They feature a sleek, one-piece construction that's both stylish and practical, and there's no attached wooden handle to wiggle loose. The serrated edge never needs sharpening, and it will ably handle both the juiciest steaks and the most tender tomatoes. They're stamped rather than forged, and made from somewhat thinner metal.

Gorgeously shiny, these corrosion-resistant knives are made from 18/10 stainless steel. The "18/10" designation refers to the proportion of chromium to nickel found in the stainless steel alloy. The 18 percent chromium enables the steel to form an invisible layer of oxide that protects it against corrosion, while the 10 percent nickel gives the knives the classic silvery sheen.

The black wooden gift box features individual slots for each of the knives and includes a silver latched closure.

2.0 out of 5 stars Knives do not cut well., October 9, 2006

The blades on these knives are BADLY designed: instead of cutting a steak, it ties to tear it apart, and it does a horrible job at that. Don't waste your money on these knives.

2.0 out of 5 stars dubious quality, February 7, 2007

I just received these today and must comment on the lack of quality.
The storage case looks like it was made and then inspected in the dark. The knives are very light in weight and cut Swiss cheese adequately.
As previous reviewers have said, let the buyer beware.
Overall, Amazon should drop PINZON products as "their" housebrand.
The various PINZON products that I have purchased do not live up to the hype nor the overall quality of the Amazon service.

I purchased these for comercial use, hesitant about how they would hold up. After 6 months of daily use through a comercial dish washer, they have far exceeded my expectations. In fact, I'm back to purchase more.
