Great Quality
Very nice set. Looks great in any kitchen. The sissors, however, are cheap-looking compared to the knives. You would expect more. I replaced the sissors with a pair from another knife set. The knives are definately a great buy.
Sharp knives, makes you love cooking!
I love this knife set, I'd had these for over a month. They were much cheaper than the ones I was looking at at Target and Kohls.
I read the other reviews for this set and always dry them by hand before putting them back in their black holder. I don't want these to tarnish! They look great in the kitchen and work wonderfully. I'm actually very picky when it comes to these items in my kitchen and I was very surprised and pleased with their functionality and appearance. I'd buy this set again (in case tarnishing does occur), but only of course if the tarnish does not appear within the first year. If this does tarnish on you the first year, then don't repurchase.
Happy with my purchase
I purchased my knife set a few weeks ago and they are great. I wash the knives by hand and dry them immedialty. I read some reviews were people out them into a washing machine and they rusted so I wont do that. It takes a second to just wash and put it away. If I get any other emails asking for an update I will let you guys know but this is a great knife set. Cuts nicely and I no longer cut my fingers with a dull knife.
Wow! These are great!
I literally said "wow" when I first cut into a potato! It was so smooth and easy...My set came with a complimentary Santoku knife - and wow ... everything -from potatoes and apples and onions - just became 100x easier to cut. The bread knife is great - it cut through one of those "natural" homemadish loaves without leaving a heap of crumbs underneath, and the smaller knives are great too. I'm haven't sampled any of those more expensive sets, but I am an avid cook - and these knives just made cutting everything in my kitchen so much easier and more fun. Watch out though, they are sharp! I've cut myself twice already =(... no complaints though, these really are wonderful ...
Also, I have put them in the dishwasher and haven't noticed ... Read More
Heavy and rusty
I bought this set seeing an overall good user review. The cons I can see are:
* Seems a bit heavy to me.
* The knives also don't seem that much sharp. The serrated blades are not helpful for me. I find the the Santoku knife helpful though for regular use.
* After getting them out of dishwasher, I could see yellow stains, though it says dishwasher safe.
