Outstanding knives for the money,

I've had this knife set for 5 years and I still love it. The knives more than hold their own against much more expensive ones, and are immensely well suited for serious prep work. True story: I took the chef's knife to a "knife skills" cooking class at the local culinary school, and the teacher absentmindedly picked it up and began using it instead of her (fabulous and expensive) Wustoff model. After she used my knife for several demonstrations she realized her mistake and remarked how much she liked using it. When I told her how inexpensive it was, she was stunned. As with any good knives, you do need to take care of these by using the steel regularly to maintain the edge, and they should be professionally sharpened every year or two. Also, they should be washed by hand (soak them for a few minutes in hot soapy water, and they'll clean right up). You simply can't do better for the money with these knives and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
Excellent results for the Money Spent,

I love these knives. The price is so reasonable but I don't think I sacrificed anything for the cooking I do. The only thing that would have enhanced my purchase was an option for a larger 6 knife set with 2 other common knives added.
Good feel & balance in hand, Great value & Quality made.,

If you cook a lot, then you know the value of a good knife set. I have owned my Tramontina Professional Series Cutlery Set (5 Knives, Steel, and Block) for almost 10 years. These well made knives feel good in your hand and have great balance while working with them (favorite is the Chef's knife). The blades are made of high-carbon stainless steel with full tang handle, black nylon grips and three stainless rivets. They hold an edge for quite a while and the steel does a nice job maintaining in between sharpening. My set has an additional six-inch utility knife with a serrated edge side to it instead of the bread knife listed. This set has been outstanding and has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. Used daily, the set has held up very well. The only problem I have had is when a houseguest used the four-inch paring knife improperly trying to separate frozen food and broke the blade. Tramontina was great and replaced the knife no problem under their 25-year warranty. This...Read more
