Product Review

This inexpensive set provides a cook with five essential kitchen knives as well as six steak knives for the dinner table. Included in the set is a 14-slot hardwood block for storing everything within reach on the counter, a rugged pair of kitchen shears for cutting everything from poultry to flowers, and an 8-inch steel for keeping knife edges aligned. Stamped from high-carbon stainless steel, the knives have durable synthetic handles that are shaped to snugly fit the hand. Finger slots in the handles ensure the knives can be safely controlled. The five kitchen knives are an 8-inch chef's knife; an 8-inch serrated bread knife for crusty loaves; an 8-inch slicer for roasts, poultry, and ham; a 6-inch utility knife; and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. The six steak knives have 5-inch serrated blades. All the knives are dishwasher-safe but hand washing better protects their edges. --Fred Brack

This set of knives belongs in the Pantheon of Miserable Products. It is, bar none, the worst purchase I have made in my adult life. Don't be seduced by the low,and seemingly irresistible, asking price. It's not even worth that drastically reduced amount. I should have heeded the reviews from others who said that these knives practically rust in front of your eyes. I am very conscientious about washing my knives in hot soapy water and drying them right away, but these blades are IMPOSSIBLE to safeguard from corrosion. Finally, as a further knife to the heart (so to speak...), their cutting properties are minimal. I have sliced the tips of two fingers trying to get these dull blades through bread and vegetables. Unless you get a thrill from being maimed, avoid this cutlery like the plague. I wish I had sent them back almost immediately.

...Many companies use the "Sabatier" name, and the $240 "list price" makes you think these are the real thing, but they're not. The real ones are forged, not stamped. They have wooden riveted handles, not synthetic. And professional knives are not dishwasher-safe. ...

I was going to purchase this as a gift for my father, but when he said he already got a new set of knives, I started thinking of myself. I've used the same old set of knives by a maker that I do not believe even exists anymore. I was a bit taken back by the inexpensive price listed here on Amazon, but I figured this was cheaper than Faberware's professional line, what did I have to lose? Absolutely nothing! My old set had edges not even 4cm wide, looking at the deep edge of these knives made me immediately notice the quality. I have rather small hands, but these knives, even the chef's knife, fit easily and comfortably in my hands. They felt well balanced in my hands and not top heavy like many brands felt in my hand (where the blade portion is much heavier than the handle, and the knife feels like its falling into your food). The razor sharp edges right out of the box were more than I'd ever want. I immediately was able to cut up potatoes, a london broil as well as a tomato...Read more
