Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Made in China of high-carbon stainless steel and with full-tang walnut handles secured by three rivets, the five kitchen knives in this set equip a cook with all the cutting edges needed. Six 5-inch steak knives with serrated blades are also included. The kitchen knives are an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, an 8-inch slicing knife, a 6-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2 inch paring knife. To keep their edges in order the set comes with an 8-inch sharpening steel, and there's a pair of rugged kitchen shears for cutting food, flowers, and cardboard. Everything fits into the set's 14-slot wood storage block, which has one extra slot for another knife and a light, natural finish to contrast with the knives' handles. To protect blades of this quality, the knives should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

3.0 out of 5 stars Sabatier should not have put their name on this product line, March 8, 2002

This review is from: Sabatier Precision 14-Piece Stainless-Steel Knife Block Set (Kitchen)

I purchased a very similar set of Sabatier Precision knives. Overall I was disappointed in them. I paid a similar price for the set I have, for as many pieces, they are oriented in the block differently, otherwise the same knives. I have given a somewhat nuetral 3, so I will address the pros and cons from my perspective...The blades seem to be manufactured of a decent quality of stainless steel and will take an edge. The scissors are one of the better pieces in the set, smooth operation and sharp. The 8 inch chefs knife, is reasonably well balance. The bread knife works fairly well. The handles are more attractive than inexpensive wooden handles would be after several months of washings. Con's: The handles are not as polished as they could be. The interface between the handle and the blade could be tighter, smother on some pieces in the set. The sharpening steel was knicked dinged, and scratched, overall poorly made. It is useless as it catches and grabs at the blade moving across it and it seems poorly made with respect to handle and ring as well. The serrations on the steak knives are too close and two deep, they tend to be jagged. I feel like I am sawing with them instead of cutting. They snag a cloth when being washed or dried. Knives other than the chef's are shaped in such a way that there is no room for the users knuckles, making it so that only the outer most half or third of blade can be used in many cases. If someone wants a full set of knives to use to start a kitchen, or to replace another set of inexpensive knives they are comparable to similarly priced sets found in large discount stores nation wide. However the shape of the knives may make some sets a better value...

3.0 out of 5 stars decent knives, pathetic block, May 2, 2003

These will be the knives you keep in the drawer, not on the counter for show. They seem decently sharp, and the handles look good for being plastic. ... Don't expect a lot. you'll get a few good knives that will do the cutting job. If you're looking for that sweet set you can proudly display to impress the neighbors, this set is definitely not it. The block is made from particle board and plywood...

This review is from: Sabatier Precision 14-Piece Stainless-Steel Knife Block Set (Kitchen)

Don't be misled by the Sabatier name, here. These are [low priced] imports trading off of a name license (note "Sabatier Precision"). Why this fine knife-maker would tarnish its name with these subgrade knives is anybody's guess. In practicality, these knives are no different from the non-serrated sets one would see at ..other discount stores for about the same (discounted) price seen here. The materials are simply passable, the handles okay. The blades are made of thin, [low priced] steel that do not hold an edge. Forget the honing tool that comes with this set-- you will need a sharpening stone to repeatedly add an edge to these knives. Even then, this will not last beyond a few uses. This set may whet your appetite for the feel of a good, heavy, well-gripped and balanced knife, but you will have to look elsewhere for one that actually stays sharp and does what it is supposed to do.
