Long lasting, sharp, and strong. A great set for the kitchen.,

Ok, so I don't have this specific block. The block that I have is still cuisine de france but I think I have more knives with mine. These knives are wonderful. It's a strong, sharp blade. The steak knives are serated. The bread knife is serated, but the rest of them are not. We've used ours in the dishwasher ever since we got them (like 5 years ago or longer) and it hasn't harmed them in any way, they still look like new. No rust spots. I would recommend this set to anyone.

Great cheap knife set...just not great knives,

I bought this since my roommates and I (three other guys) needed a set of knives and this was amongst the cheapest. The serrated knives are great, all the others are SUPER DULL, as in probably never sharpened before dull. Once you get passed that though, it's a great set...we would just sharpen each knife manually before we used it.
Pros:
-just like the knife rack that grandma had in her house
-makes an apartment with 4 guys look classier (kind of?)
-Comes with everything you could need
-bunch of steak knives
-wood block is nice
Cons:
-not a single one of the non-serrated blades is sharp
-I'm still not sure how to handle a hand sharper
Overall, I'm ok with the purchase since I wasn't about to spend $200 on a set. If I were to do it again, I'd probably just buy one or two nice knives and get a set of steak knives from IKEA (although I've used a steak knife maybe once).

Dull! Will NOT Sharpen!!!!,

Here's the pros:
These are fairly heavy knives, balanced, and made not to come apart, which is good for the price. The block is nice and I really do like the steak knives and the bread knife, which are all serrated (although my BF was complaining that the steak knives are dull, I've used them several times and didn't see that as an issue), but the other items in the set have issues.
Cons:
The scissors have very small finger holes in the handles which means, depending on the size of your hands, you may be able to fit 2 fingers in them without getting stuck. They are nice and sharp though and cut well, just not comfortable to use.
The sharpening steel, the handle is loose, and you can only tighten it so far as it seems stripped. But it keeps loosening back up.
The smooth edge knives are dull, like trying to cut something with a butter knife or the edge of a spoon. When I first got these, I tried using my original sharpener that always worked...Read more
