I'll admit it: I'm a knife snob. When I saw the prices of these knives I wrinkled my pert little knife snob nose that was planted firmly in the air and thought with my irony-laden bourgeois tone, "Oh, $350 for a set of knives AND the case? That's quality stuff right there."
My first apartment had the obligatory OMG these knives are only $30 and TOTALLY make me look like a grownup!!! set of Chicago Cutlery. I progressed from there, trying out everything from Ginsu to Wustof to Henckles to Shun. I have two Shun knives and I adore them. But I also own a catering company, and didn't want to schlep my precious knives all over town and constantly have to worry about them getting damaged or walking off. This knife set seemed like the perfect solution-- a knife case with a set of knives that fit right in.
I figured these knives would be "disposable," much like the Chicago Cutlery type of knives... alright for a year or so, but then they'll quit even taking an edge and...Read more

A friend of mine is a professional chef for an up-scale restaurant in downtown Seattle. He uses Saber Knives exclusively and claims they are by far the best on the market. I had no idea where to find a set; he got his through a chef supply place in New York. I've been checking on-line for some time now and then...finally Amazon has the same set he has. I bought a set immediately and they are fantastic! If you are serious about cooking and want the best in the kitchen, this Saber Knife Set will make you very happy.

I've had my Saber knives for a few months now, and it's completely changed the way I work in the kitchen. I used to spend a lot of time trying to cut awkward things with the few good global knives one of my roommates own, but they were taking a lot of abuse and were frequently the wrong knife for what I was trying to do. I dreamed of a set of good german knives, but couldn't stomach the amount of money I'd end up spending acquiring a knife collection. Then I discovered Saber.
Saber knives are made of quality German steel, forged (not stamped) in a single piece. They're made in China, but it's actually possible to make something decent in China if you're willing to pay for quality. Most companies cut corners in their Chinese factories to save money, but Saber has decided to sacrifice that profit in order to produce a quality product. The result? For the price of a couple of German knives, you can get a complete set (and it even comes in an awesome, functional bag). Now I...Read more
