Comment: Did all the comparison shopping (Cook's Illustrated, Amazon community) and landed here (with the Kapoosh knife block which is stupendous) and am such a happy cook. Also ordered the boning knife. With these knives I realized I never had a really sharp knife before and what a difference it makes. The paring knife peeled kohlrabi (one of my favorite raw veggies) like going through butter instead of wood. Can't believe I waited so long to get the right tools to be a happy cook.

Summary: Great quality, and when on sale, value can't be beat. 2010-02-14
Comment: I purchased my set from amazon's warehouse at a discount because the box was torn. As I was buying them for myself, that wasn't in issue for me and saved me a decent amount.
For years, over 25, I've had a great knife made from Brazilian steel. Great handle, and held an edge for all 25 plus years. Alas, it no longer does.
I bought some decent knives at stores, but none held an edge for very long.
I read reviews on these and since I was able to get them at a really good price, I went made the purchase.
I am glad I did. These knives are sharp and well made.

Comment: My son needed some new kitchen knives for his apartment. We did not want to spend a lot since he is still a college student but we did want a decent set of knives because he does enjoy cooking. These knives were perfect. They were reasonably priced and the quality was excellent! They are comfortable in the hand and the knives that come in the set are what a basic cook would need. These are knives that he will be able to have for a long time.

Comment: I received these knives for Christmas. They are wonderfully sharp and easy to use. Consider getting sheaths for them at the time of purchase as they are very sharp and cannot be stored in a drawer (without a sheath) safely. You will love these knives!
