Knife Set, 18-Piece Kitchen Knife Set with Block Wooden, Manual Sharpening for Chef Knife Set, German Stainless Steel

I've had this set since 2020 now. I just moved and can't find them so I was going to order a few knives to use until the box is found. I realized I hadn't written a review for this set and would love to share my enjoyment having purchased this set. The steak knives are great and work perfectly for anything you want to cut. They still look brand new. My butcher block where my knives are stored looks brand new as I place them in backwards so when you pull them out they don't cut into your wood. These knives don't have any gaps to leave food or debris between the knife and handle. They stay sharp and having the sharpener to keep them that way is very convenient. The color is lovely. I've never placed them in the dishwasher and never would if you want your knives to last. I don't need to replace them or won't have to for a very long time. They aren't expensive, they don't feel cheap and remind me of Henkel without the cost. I highly recommend getting them. You can't go wrong!

I've had this knife set for about 5 months now. So far, I haven't had any issues with the quality of these knives. Having read lower reviews, I've kept up with hand washing them and never letting them soak to prevent rust. They were incredibly sharp right out of the box. They have maintained that sharpness after 5 months. All materials seem to be of good quality. Given what a good knife set typically costs, I'd say you can't beat the price, especially with pretty frequent sales on the item.

This is a very beautiful knife set! It matches beautifully with all my other appliances. The knives all cut really well too. I strongly recommend this set.

Sharp, well-balanced knives made from German stainless steel, perfect for all kitchen tasks. The wooden block is a nice addition Update: You have to be careful because the surface scratches really easily. Also, after a short time, I noticed small rust spots — especially around the edges.

The last knife set I purchased was many years ago, so I keep them for quite a long time. I've had this knife set for about a month, and I would definitely recommend it! Good look, good sturdy feel, a great edge on all of the knives out of the box, and they seem to be pretty durable especially for this price point! My only complaint is the angle at which the knives sit in the block. Something I didn't consider when purchasing this set is that my knife block sits on my kitchen counter, underneath a cabinet, which makes it difficult to remove the knives as they come out more straight up and down than towards the person pulling the knife out. Wish they would have cut a steeper angle, but I compensated this by cutting a small block of wood and propping up the back end of the knife block. It's not a perfect solution, but it definitely helped!

When I can take a knife out of the wrapping and thinly slice paper, that's sharp. When I buy knives, I usually have to do a corrective sharpening (angle and remove grinder burrs, even my Buck Premium folding hunters have a horrible factory edge) but these have an excellent factory sharpening. Stainless blades require a tighter sharpening angle than carbon steel blades, this sharpening angle of about 20 degrees is good, so maintain the that angle with the sharpening steel. One reason I bought this knife over others is the hardness (HRC55) is etched on the blade. equivalent to about 274,000 pounds per square inch. For reference that is almost as hard as a common file. A spring is about 130,000 pounds per square inch. This high Chromium stainless is hard, very hard. I would be cautious in applying any great deal of prying force. Only what is required in normal food preparation. (From experience. Almost everything I know, I learned from a screw up.) The appearance of the knives is very good. The blade, tang and pommel, or butt of the knives are a single piece of steel, which is good. The wooden block is massive, over 9 inches tall and heavy. The holes go all the way through the block for easy cleaning. I will edit this review after using the knives for a few days. Edit. I have relegated all other knives to the kitchen junk drawer. This knife set is very good. The handles on the paring and peeling knives are big enough for medium male hands. Although big enough for my hands, I think they would be comfortable to anyone with smaller hands. I would recommend that the elderly or infirm buy some cut resistant gloves. These are very sharp. The scissors are kind of cheesy, but work ok. It would have been nice if this set had the scissors same as the 15 pc set. The curved peeling blade needs some getting used to, but I really like it.

I really like these knives and the red.

Bought this for my mom for Christmas. She loves it. Knifes cut great very sharp. Amazing set in your kitchen.

so sharp and great value ! diced room temp bacon with one hand and a baby in the other arm . no slicing just diced into squares, pretty impressive. dont leave in sink though i cut my finger washing the frying pan barely grazed it!

Knives with defectives. Will try to return it.

Absolutely love these knives. They are a very nice colour, easy to hold and extremely sharp. I highly recommend

Beautiful knives, sturdy and sharp! Best purchase so far! My last knife set didn’t meet standards and chipped easily even with the card I give my kitchen knives. So far these supersede my expectations

Love this knife set, the design, feel of the knife in your hand (smoothness of the handle and the blade when youre cutting), the ergonomic of this knife set is amazing. I was very surprised at how sharp these knives are. I'm truly happy with this purchase.
