Chicago Cutlery Landmark 12-Piece Knife Set with Block

Like another reviewer, I was swayed by the recommendations of CR. Unlike several of the other reviewers, I have not yet experienced the problems encountered by them. So far, no rust spots, but I hand wash & dry immediately after use. When the set arrived the block, while not exceptional, was undamaged, and again, so far, the guides have not come loose. Perhaps customer complaints have led to a resolution to this problem?

Having never had a "real" set of knives to compare these to makes a ranking difficult. However, I am satisfied for the return on the money I spent. On a further, note, my daughter, who is in culinary school, stated that these knives are a little on the lightweight side, but the balance (feel) appears good, and that they cut very well.

UPDATE: I've had this set a year now. So far no problems and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I've had no rust: I DON'T put 'em in the dishwasher; I hand wash & dry immediately. I still hold to my initial assessment: This set is a good, not great, value for the money.

I like the knives. The sharpener works well. These are hand-wash-only knives. Take good care of them and they will take good care of you.

For $100+ I was surpised that they were Chinese made. The block is ok not up to German, American or Japanese/Korean standards (slight imperfections). The knives are well designed and with proper care sharp and very good to work with.

I would have preferred American Made (Chicago cutlery used to be 100% American Made) but that would probably have been 3-5x the price.

Overall I am happy with the knives and will tolerate the imperfect block with it.

They were great, until I washed them. Now they have little brown spots all over them. It looks like rust to me. Since you kind of need to wash your knives now and again, I would say to avoid these. Unless you're looking for a good, rusty knife, then they're the tops.

After revewing knife sets and checking CR recommendations I decided to purchase this set. CR said that Chicago cutlery was the way to go if you do not want to spend a small fortune on knifes that were still of decent quality.

This is the first time I buy something that did not have a review and the first time I write a review because I was so upset with the quality. The knife are not sharp, and they rust and the block is cumbersome and the inserts that hold the knifes come out it was actually missing one when it arrived.

I hastened to open it and set it up before I noticed, otherwise, if I still had the box, I would have returned it.

Want Chicago Cutlery Landmark 12-Piece Knife Set with Block Discount?

This knife set for a new product, is very diappointing. I'm returning mine. Out of the box it looked cheap. I agree with other reviewer that the little plastic inserts on the block don't stay in. You have to peal if off the knife everytime you pull a knife out, to put it back on the block-CC needs to try some glue to hold them in. CC makes much nicer sets for less money-this would be a hassle to use to use and why pay more a poorer set?
