Only complaint is I wish the block was angled so I could remove the knives while they we under the cabinet overhang. Otherwise excellent set!

Very sharp and well-crafted, 06/09/2009

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

We finally replaced our dull knives. The new knives were recommended by an independent reviewer (CR) and we were not disappointed with their quality and excellent balance. These knives are very sharp. So, if you're used to a dull knife be extra careful when you handle these.

This was purchased as a Christmas gift, and I am very envious of the person who received it. I will probably purchase a second one for myself

If you like to cook - Not frozen or previously prepared foods, then having knives is perhaps the most important thing. Having good kinve is even better. These knives are great. The only down side, I wish there were 2-3 more knives in this package. I am sure if I wanted to pay more I could find a more complete set, like my old set of farbare ware. The Farbere Ware, well they are ok, better than most... but this set... You will love. Remeber, you are getting what you pay for.

I have never had a set of knives that were this sharp. The quality is fantastic and using them was quite a surprise as they flowed through every thing I used them on. This is the small set and it has every thing you would need unless you were a Chef.

I bought these knives for my daughter for Christmas. She complained that her other knives were not sharp enough. She told me that they were awesome. She cut potatoes in a single, no pressure necessary slice! It was like cutting through air!

Throw away your old knives, 01/13/2008
By BabsShop
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I purchased this knife set for my mom, who already had one Ginsu knife and a collection of very old, very dull knives that she has accummulated over the last 30 years. When she first opened the box, the knives and the bamboo block were visually impressive, sleek and modern looking. She has been using them for a month now and absolutely loves them....she even finally threw away all of her old knives! The only problem that she experienced was that one of the smaller knives was slightly bent at the very tip. However, she was able to apply some pressure on it and bend it back.

We've only had the knives for a few weeks, but they have worked well thus far. The knives are high quality and have a sleek design. I love having the scissors handy at the kitchen counter. The bamboo wood holder is also attractive. Did not rate durability because we haven't had them long enough.
