Excellent!, March 29, 2007

This knife block set is great for the average home cook! I use it all the time and each knife works well. The kitchen scissors is especially handy, and the knife sharpener is convenient. The wooden block looks really nice next to our wood cutting board. To keep these knives looking their best, try not to wash them in the dishwasher very often or the black handles will fade a bit.

This set has just the right number and type of knives needed for our cooking. They are of very high quality, with all the best features from the blade to the handle. I was amazed at how well they handle. They are nice looking. I can not imagine another improvement they could make.

Bought this same set almost 10 years ago and probably paid more for it back then. Reading the reviews I was concerned about quality and a careful inspection did find some cosmetic issues. I looked at my old knives and found they had some of the same cosmetic issues though in ten years I had never noticed them. The new knives feel good when handled, are very sharp and I expect will also last ten years. Simply put, a great value for someone wanting very good knives at a bargain price.
