3 out of 5 stars a worry-free option   May 3, 2008
Obsessive shopper (Richfield, MN United States)
I've had mine for a little over a year now. They were very sharp when new, but actually did start getting dull recently. The santoku is the worst of the bunch. Flimsy and with a traditional blade, it got dull after just a few uses. The shears cracked and fell apart last month. The steak knives are still great for that purpose. And I managed to find a cheap infomercial sharpener that restored a little life to the rest of the blades.
I guess all in all, that's a pretty negative review. But considering the price, I'm very satisfied. I never wanted the stress and expense of having to take care of a truly good set of knives. I'd buy these again without hesitation.



5 out of 5 stars Sharp!!!   April 23, 2008
Lee Ann Giese (Hockley, Texas)
These knives are a great value for the money. They look nice and are very sharp. I was so used to using dull knives that I've cut myself twice using these new knives.


4 out of 5 stars As Advertised   April 23, 2008
Roby (NYC)
Does as advertised. Sharp and looks good.

I will though take advice and make sure we not scrub the handles to strongly since many reviewers have mentioned that they dull out. And for some reason you sort of can tell that this will happen. Taking one star just in case.

In regards to sharpness and look- A++++



3 out of 5 stars OK for the money   April 7, 2008

As a young couple we really love to cook and have been upgrading our kitchen. I saw these and thought hey for the money its worth the risk.

Meh.

Nice set at first but after one wash in the machine they dull up and then become rather ugly. So I decided to only Hand-Wash the other knives but they also soon dulled.

Another thing is that all the Knives are serrated except the Sontaku. It is really wierd to chop and dice vegetables with serrated knives. Maybe I'm just inexperienced in the kitchen but the serrated bottoms are not typical I believe.

If your looking for new knives I'd look into a different set.



5 out of 5 stars Great Knives   April 7, 2008
Mark J. Stampfle (Morristown NJ)
I purchased the knives almost 10 months ago and I absolutely LOVE THEM. They are still sharp as when I first received them. The variety of different knives that it comes with is fantastic! I use them at least once a day for cutting a variety of different meats, vegetables, and fruits. Overall Great purchase....I highly recommend them.
