Superior Knives; Perfect Set
I received these knives as a wedding gift two years ago, and I have probably used them every day since, and for some intense cooking projects. They have held up beautifully. I sharpen them every few months, and they are still cutting and chopping just as well as when I first used them.
Coming from low-end budget knives stuck in a drawer together, I noticed the difference immediately. Because of the full-length tang, the knives are perfectly steady in my hand while I chop; there is no "wobbling." Most importantly, the knives cut through anything I give them immediately and cleanly. The only time I had some difficulty was with an especially tough pumpkin, but after using some more muscle, the knife handled that well, too.
I like the seven-piece set because it seems to address all of my knife-needs (and I cook an elaborate dinner almost every evening). The only overlap is with the 4 1/2" utility knife and the paring knife. Since they are similar in size, they can be...
Very sharp - careful!
My wife and I bought these knives through another retailer and have loved them. They are sharp, sharp, sharp. Slicing tomatoes is so smooth and easy - and hard veggies like carrots cut like butter.
It's nice that this set includes the honing steel. With proper care these should last a very long time.
I will say - be careful! I cut up several kitchen towels without realizing it when I dried the knives after washing! I've also knicked my fingers once or twice - I'm used to our old dull and chipped knives. These are very sharp and can cut you without you even realizing it has happened.
fantastic knives
I love to cook, not a chef by any means, but I can appreciate good utensils and 'kichen gear'. Since I bought this knife set, I look for an excuse to chop things...even onions, because the using a great knife is amazing. These knives have a really good and balanced weight to them that makes them very steady in your hand. It feels like you are holding a knife. You don't need to put a lot of weight into things, the knife will do the work. Totally reccommend this set.
