Knife set, 23 Pcs Kitchen Knife Set with Block and Sharpener Rod, High Carbon Stainless Steel Chef knife set for kitchen, Ultra Sharp, Full-Tang Design

Wonderful set of knives! Not only are they nice and sharp but they feel perfectly balanced in my hand. A total of 15 knives, there is also a knfe shapener and a very good pair of kitchen shears that fit into the block. And...they included a silicon pastry brush and a neat scraper that fits perfectly into 2 inch wide and up jars to get the very last bit out for you. Oh, I almost forgot the whisk! The block is a lovely shade of wood that looks great on my countertop. Very happy with this purchase!

This is a really great set of knives for the value. I would recommend them and I would purchase them again. Good quality and nicely designed. The design on the blades stands out more in the pictures on Amazon than it does in person, a lot depends on how the light is hitting it. The design on the blades makes them look like a much more expensive set than they actually are. The quality of the knives seems really good and with proper care I expect them to last me many years. I had no problems getting all the knives to fit into the block. Pretty much any knife review you read there are going to be people complaining about the knives rusting. Lots of knives say they are dishwasher safe, but they are not. Knives like this rust and lose their edge in dishwashers. As soon as I'm done I run them under the faucet to get any food particles off, wipe them down with a paper towel and then dry them off and put them back in the block. They are great for slicing vegetables, meat, and that kind of stuff. I would recommend trying to chop down a tree or prying open cans with them.

Great value for money, aesthetic block too. These knives are not messing around. They are VERY sharp. The handles feel good in the hands and the variety of sizes are ideal for any meal preparing you have in mind. Overall very pleasing set.

You get several sizes/styles with this kit. All done with a pretty damascus pattern in the steel. That pattern is made by blending two different types of steel, then acid-etching it to bring out the different colors. All it does is make the knife prettier, it has very little effect on the hardness or sharpness of the material IN THIS CASE. Because they only made a few layers. If they had folded the steel over about 70 more times and made MANY MANY more layers, then perhaps it would have an effect on the mechanical properties of the metal. Remember folks, this isn't a katana fit for a samurai, it's just a kitchen knife set. But yes, these knives are very sharp, if you use them RIGHT they will stay that way since it comes with a sharpening tool. This is not "the best" quality knife set, but the price is nice so if you are moving out of your parents' house and need your own kitchen tools, this is a good set to try. It even comes with a whisk and some spatulas but the block doesn't have slots to store those. NEVER leave a knife dirty, NEVER leave it wet, and NEVER clean it in a dishwasher machine. Doing any of those things will degrade and corrode the steel, dull the blade, and ruin your knives. HAND-WASH ONLY, and do so immediately after use. HAND-DRY IMMEDIATELY after you wash it, too. NEVER leave a knife in your sink or in a pile of other dirty dishes. Because the next person to come along and try to use the sink (might be you or someone else) doesn't know it's down there, and they can cut themself on it. So please, be a good roommate and wash it, dry it, and put it away immediately instead of leaving it where it can accidentally hurt someone.

We bought this set to donate to a needy family and I’m impressed. You get a lot for your money. Besides the extras, the knives themselves are amazing. The shank is surrounded by a resin handle. I was tempted to buy knives with wooden handles but I have zero interest in hand washing knives. Where this set shines are the Larger knives. They are substantial to hold and are sharp. I tested the chef’s knife and it sliced right through a piece of paper (see my video). The block looks like it’s made of walnut; it really beautiful. My husband had to keep reminding me that we aren’t keeping this set as I coveted it.

I have a set & my boyfriend has a set. We both love using them. They stay sharp. No more need to use a sawing motion to cut a tomato. My friend came over and commented how she loved using my knives. So I got her a set for Christmas. These knives make food preparation a breeze!

Other than being a set of 8 matching knives, this is a mixed bag. The matching ones are semi-serrated , so only half-useful. The others are a mixed bag. Except for the bread and sudoku, they go blunt sooner rather than later. If you're clumsy like me with a sharpener rod, get either a whetstone or look elsewhere.

This is a good knife set for the money. The knives have a full tang through the handles so they are not going to come loose. While I believe they are dishwasher safe, they are easy to clean in the sink by hand. The blades are extremely sharp, and will stay that way with the accompanying sharpening rod. The accompanying knife block keeps the knives safe and separated so they aren't going to dull on each other. However, I wish there was also space for the accessories that come with the set. Whisks, "knuckle guard" etc. all have to be stored separately.
