5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Knives, July 1, 2004

By A Customer

These knives are great. I decided on getting new knives after ours starting looking trashy (they were wood handle ones that were starting to split). After spending days (literally) researching and reading reviews I decided on this set. I wasn't about to spend over $100.00 and up for a knife set...I don't really care that much. But this is a $100.00 set for a great price. These are worth it. They are heavy, fit great in your hand, and sharp right out of the box. The only problem was one of the knives had a "ding" on the top of the blade, but this doesn't affect the cutting and wasn't that noticable to ship back. My husband really like them too. Anyways, this knife set is well worth the price and I think one of my best purchases on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons, April 18, 2005

By	Jolly Gourmand - See all my reviews

Pros: Can't beat the $29.95 price. The wood block is not top heavy and does not have a tendency to fall over. The (non-steak) knives are heavy, sharp and have a nice balance.

Cons: The honing steel has a metal guard. Used properly, the knife should be drawn toward you during maintenance. Figure out another way, though or you will be destroying some edges. As others have mentioned, the 'stamped' steak knives look and feel cheap.

All-in-all, a 5-Star rating for price and quality. Probably the best 'beginner' set I have ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars These are great knives!, May 15, 2004

By	Laura A. Luloh (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

(...) I'm writing from the point of mainly using grocery store knives except for my wonderful Wustof Bread Knife, which I try to use for just about everything. The block is reasonably nice (mine had two hairline cracks - not noticeable enough to exchange). The knives came sharp - I haven't used the sharpening tool yet. When cutting up peeled and boiled potatoes the chef knive cut them like it was going through butter. In comparison to my Wustof bread knife, this bread knife does tear a tad and the handle is a bit mightier. Also the steak knives don't sit in the slots perfectly even but they work nicely with very slight tearing. The scissors are great! This set is steel, not stainless steel. Therefore, you can not put them in the dishwasher (though the scissors have gotten in the dishwasher 2x without any problems). They suggest you hand wash and throughly dry.
