BergHOFF 7-Piece Forged Knife Block Set

 (3 customer reviews)

I just got these knives yesterday, so these are mainly my initial impressions. The packaging is not that great. I don't know if most knife sets come like this, but I was a little surprised. Everything was wrapped in cheap plastic and had some manufacturing residue on it. The block had bits of glue in random spots that had to be cleaned off. I cleaned the block and washed all the knives and everything looks good. There are a few hairline scratches on one or two knives, nothing major. On each knife, it says X30Cr14 which I believe has something to do with Chromium. It also says "D10", "Rostfrei", "BergHOFF", and gives the length. I can't tell where these knives are made. I looked all over the packaging to no avail. BergHOFF is a Belgian company so take that for what it's worth. I even looked on their website and there is no real info I could find.

The knives are solid and heavy feeling. With the counter balance they are a pleasure to hold. You can hold the knife with one...Read more

Just as advertised, I love these knives.. i bought my father a 250 dollar set of "Wusty's" and they are nice, but i like these MUCH better. So many people say if it "aint a wustoff than it aint a knife". Thats ridiculous to think that no one else in the world can make a great knife? these are quality, full tang, triple riveted, and excellently crafted knives! you will NOT be disappointed. The balance IS fantastic, even the aesthetics of theses knives is awesome (less important I know, but defiantly worth mentioning)Also the bamboo knife block with stainless bracket is VERY nice in craftsmanship too.. somthing that was not the case with the expensive wustoff set i bout my dad? the knife block that comes with this set DOES NOT feel like a "freebie" or throw in item. I took a gamble to buy a knife online and im try to share my success. I really like these knives.

Excellent knives set, they are very resistant and usable. In comparison to other knives like WMF, they can keep it up without having to pay that much.

The shipping was fast and the seller shiped internationally without problems!!!
