RUST!, June 10, 2011

Was initially very happy with this set - nice feel, nice block, even a built in sharpener. I've had them about 3 months now, and I have to say now I'm VERY disappointed... The blades are all RUSTING! I've had Chicago Cutlery knives since I've been cooking (over 25 years now) and have owned multiple sets as well as purchased them as gifts for others - this is the first set I've ever seen RUST! I've contacted the mfg to see what they will do about it, but judging from other things I have read online, it appears rust is something that is common with their less expensive line of knives, and they don't consider it a "manufacturer's defect" ... So buyer be warned - if you do purchase these, be very careful about cleaning them, and drying them immediately, and keep them coated with a fine layer of cooking oil, otherwise your set will end up like mine: rusted and destined for the trash...

I have been looking for a decent set of knives. I didn't want to spend a fortune, but I wanted to be able to do basic cooking. These knives have been very sharp so far. They do get water/ rusty looking spots if not dryed right after washing though.

Buying after loving roommate's, July 19, 2011

My roommate bought these knives for us to use, and as college students, these are amazing. We used these knives pretty much daily for over a year and a half, and did hand wash and dry most of the time, so we didn't have rust. I like the sizes and number of knives included, the shears were useful, and the built-in sharpener was nice. These were very sharp, I used them to cut off the slimy bits of fat on chicken breasts with no problem, and they did not squash kiwis and tomatoes.

Basically, I couldn't beat the price and sharpness of these knives. I love my roommate's so much, I am buying some of my own since I moved out.
