Complete 41 Piece Kitchen Utensil Cutlery Knife Set

Complete 41 Piece Kitchen Utensil Cutlery Knife SetI received my set within two days and it is unreal what you get for such little money. More knives than I could ever even think to use. I got everything I need all in one.

Nogent Classic Wood Serrated Tomato Knife, 4.3-Inch

Nogent Classic Wood Serrated Tomato Knife, 4.3-Inch, StainedThis is a replacement for my daughter-in-law who has misplaced her knife. I found this knife in Canada a few years ago

and loved it, so bought some for my family. Everyone who uses it loves it because it cuts beautifully whatever veggie you're

cutting especially tomatoes. I use mine daily. My daughter-in-law is waiting patiently for her new one to arrive, and we

both hope it's soon! Every cook should have one, and I'm so glad I was able to find it on Amazon for her.

Kuhn Rikon Strawberry Knife Colori

Kuhn Rikon Strawberry Knife ColoriIt's a really cool little gadget for gadget collectors. It folds up into the handle so it avoids injury and protects the sharpness. Ingenious.

This is a pretty handy combo, combining both the huller and a knife. It hulls very well, even cutting through the stem area with ease. However, the hinge does not lock in place, so if you are not careful the huller is trying to close. The opposite is true about the knife end. That hinge is so tight that when I'm closing or opening the knife I'm afraid I might cut myself. Overall, with some care it really is a handy tool!

The stemming tool is really useful. However, I found that when I used the knife I sliced my hand to bits. It's extremely sharp, dangerously so, and when I sent one of these to my mom I warned her to just close that side of the tool and never open it.

This is the handiest tool for hulling strawberries and the built in knife is a bonus. I lost my first one and I'm buying it again because I can't go back to the old way of hulling strawberries. This tool makes it so fast. Love it!

Want Kuhn Rikon Strawberry Knife Colori Discount?

Yes, we're a house divided.

From my perspective, I like the huller at one end and the knife at the other. My husband's take on this is that it is just another knife and you can hull just as well with the knives we already own.

Bottom line, it's a really cute little knife. We don't have any more room in the knife block, so it's just as well that this folds up and stores nicely in the drawer.

Mundial 5100 Series 7" Hollow-Edge Santoku Knife, Red

Mundial 5100 Series 7' Hollow-Edge Santoku Knife, RedI've used some of the finest knives made, and this one is right up there with the best, but at a more reasonable price than many. The blade is NOT too thick don't know what that's about. I am a female with smallish hands and I find it absolutely balanced and easy to work with. And a knife is SUPPOSED to be as sharp as possible dull knives are the most dangerous! I just love it and use it every day, in fact bought a whole set just based on how pleasing this one is to use, not to mention to look at! BIG RAVES!!

Perfect size, weight and for a lot less money than other good knives.

Love this knife. Chose it because I read a positive review on a cooking club web site. The knife is well balanced and makes food prep chores a pleasure. Wish I had it years ago.

Read Best Reviews of Mundial 5100 Series 7" Hollow-Edge Santoku Knife, Red Here

The top edge of the blade is too thick, so you often need two hands to slice things. The cutting edge sharpness seems fine, but it's too heavy and the balance is not quite right (blade heavy). After using the Mac knife, I'm spoiled. Spend the extra money (not much!) and get the Mac knife which is a top quality knife and the best value on the market right now. It's in a different league.

Miracle Blade Knife Block

Miracle Blade Knife BlockI got this for my husband, who had received the Miracle Blade set as a Christmas gift 2 years ago. He was originally going to get rid of them bc he didn't just want to throw them in a drawer. He looked a few times, but saw that the block was soo expensive! I got it for him for an anniversary present (5 years-wood) and I was SO pleased with the price, how quickly it shipped, and the condition it arrived in. Best of all-Hubby LOVED it!

You get what you pay for. It does the job. Although a few of my steak knife slots weren't cut fully and the knives didn't fit all the way in. Easy fix. Other than that it is a decent knife block.

Buy Miracle Blade Knife Block Now

I purchased this knife block without purchasing the Miracle Blade Knife set, and it has been fine. I have found other knives that fit very well in the different slots, and I was surprised and happy to find that this knife block came with four Miracle Blade knives. I think I simply didn't read the description well enough, because the four knives are even featured on the product's picture--still, it was a nice surprise!).

This knife block is sturdy, and it doesn't slide around on the counter because it has gripping pads on the bottom. I am very happy with this purchase.

SP2

SP2I got this to replace my older knife storage which had 6 pockets and was designed for pistol magazines and no longer was large enough. I am extremely happy with this pack from spyderco. It is well made and holds enough knifes for novice collector. The one thing that had me concerned is whether the pockets would be large enough for some of the bigger folders but I am happy to report that even my Cold Steel Spartan fit with just a bit of room to spare.

Dexter-Russell (3-WAY) - Ceramic Knife Sharpener - Sani-Safe Series

Dexter-Russell - Ceramic Knife Sharpener - Sani-Safe SeriesThis is perfect for persons who have only one useable hand. its weight keeps it in place while you're sharpening. This is very well made.

First off I want to throw in here that I went to school for a Culinary Arts degree. In school we practiced knife skills up the wazoo and in order to be successful at amazing knife skills you need knives that are as sharp as a razor. This sharpener is the EXACT ones we used in Culinary school to hone all the blades we wielded in the kitchen. Anyway, I left school and worked as a chef in different kitchens and never came across this type of sharpener again. And I missed it dearly.

Years later I decided to leave the restaurant industry behind and move on to more private chef types of jobs. And it was then that I wanted, no, needed to find this sharpener again. And here it was all along. The step-by-step sharpening option is excellent for bringing old knives back from the dead. But if you stay on top of your sharpening as I do, you will really only need to use the lightest colored ceramic bar to sharpen. That particular bar feels as smooth as ceramic can get. You might wonder, "How is moving my blade across a surface like this sharpening my knife?" Trust me, its honing an edge on your blade like no other I have found. I use Shun knives and this is the only sharpener I will use on them.

So one caveat for you. This is a larger, sturdier and heavier sharpener than you may be used to. It feels like a tank. This does not mean you can treat it like its a tank. These are ceramic bars and if you are not careful, and you drop this thing wrong the bars will break. It happened to me once. What did I do? I bought another one because my knives can't live without it. You don't have to handle it like a petri dish infected with an ebola strain, but just be careful with it as it is pricier than most sharpeners, but well worth the money. If you have any questions, add a comment.

SIDENOTE: I have some outdoor hobbies and use this thing to sharpen hunting knives as well.

Buy Dexter-Russell (3-WAY) - Ceramic Knife Sharpener - Sani-Safe Series Now

Great for quick touch-ups and reestablishing an edge. I just wish the two heavier grits weren't quite so coarse. Even the change in grit from medium to fine is a little too steep, making a little too much work on the fine stone after establishing a brand new edge on really dull blades. That said, the fine stone works really well on slightly worn blades. Very happy with this.

Read Best Reviews of Dexter-Russell (3-WAY) - Ceramic Knife Sharpener - Sani-Safe Series Here

For years, I've been successfully sharpening my knives with a two-stage Crock Stick; the rod angles are set in the holder, all one needs to do is draw the knife down the rods, keeping the blade fairly perpendicular to the holder. With the Crock Stick rods wearing down, I thought I'd try this sharpener as a replacement after reading the user ratings. Alas, it doesn't work well for me; constantly holding the knife blade at the proper angle to these rods seems all but impossible for me. I was able to use the course, blue stone to bring back a costly but really abused paring knife blade, but I could only sharpen it to "perfection" by finishing with the Crock Stick; thus, I will look for new rods for the Crock, now.

Want Dexter-Russell (3-WAY) - Ceramic Knife Sharpener - Sani-Safe Series Discount?

This is the best sharpener I have ever used. I've tried stones, diamond sharpeners, ceramic sticks, and, while all work, this one works the best and is the simplest to use, either in the horizontal or vertical orientations. Once a knife is prepared using the coarser rods, if necessary, all that's left is a very few light, very light, strokes along the finest rod to bring the blade to razor sharpness. You can feel the blade getting sharp, as the resistance to stroking decreases, once you get used to using this sharpener It cleans up easily and takes up little cupboard space for storage. My fishing buddy, who has an array of other sharpeners, is amazed at the job this sharpener does. I am, too. Well worth the money.

We highly recommend!

Black & Decker CO100 SpaceMaker Under-the-Cabinet Can Opener- White

Black & Decker CO100 SpaceMaker Under-the-Cabinet Can Opener- WhiteHaving had a prior model of the Black & Decker undercounter can opener, I

was so pleasantly surprised at the improvements B&D made to produce such

a fantastic product. The first time I used it I couldn't believe how fast

and powerful it is, and how clean the edges of the can is left. I didn't know how bad my other one was and was so frustrated by it I at first wouldn't look at another Black and Decker. I'm so glad that I did.

Thank you thank you thank you. BW in Dallas, TX

Black & Decker should hire new people to design there products and also require them to go out in the real world and try them before marketing them. The screws are too short if you use there spacers because the Handle will hit the cabinet on the bottom keeping you from removing it to clean it. I made a block to screw up under the cabinet then mounted the opener on that block so it cleared the bottom. This is ok for me since i was a carpenter. But most home owners would have a problem. Hard to believe these companies are more interested in making money than doing it right. If you double up the spacers then the long screws are too short. Some engineering i would say lol

Once mounted the product does work. But a 5 minute install turned out to be 40 minutes.

I bought this Black and Decker space saver can opener to replace one that my wife and I received as a wedding gift in 1992. (It still worked, but the blade had worn down and it wasn't fully opening cans anymore)

Functionally this thing is great it works as advertised and pretty much just like the one it replaced. One added plus is the bottle opener on the bottom no more hunting for a bottle opener when I want a beer, I just walk over, pop the end up underneath the can opener, tilt the bottle the other way and voila! Opened bottle with minimal fuss.

I was somewhat disappointed with one aspect of this opener though I almost couldn't install it correctly under my cabinet and I had to use almost all of the provided spacers up underneath so that it would have enough clearance. Furthermore, I couldn't use the existing holes that I had drilled in my cabinet I had to drill new ones. There should be some kind of standard for these things but there isn't.

The knife sharpener on the side is superfluous for me we don't use it at all.

Ultimately I like this opener for the reasons I got it it works just like the original, looks nice, and has a cool bottle opener. The downside is that it was a pain to install and someone who isn't as handy as I am (and I'm pretty handy, if I do say so myself) would have had problems installing it if their cabinets are the same spec as mine. If not for the tricky install, I'd have rated it a 5.

Read Best Reviews of Black & Decker CO100 SpaceMaker Under-the-Cabinet Can Opener- White Here

Alright, I read all of the reviews and actually was concerned about the installation concerns others shared. My husband and I found it to be an easy and basic installation. We were prepared for all cabinets and cabinet depths not being equal or standard in thickness and grade etc which explains mixed reviews on installation. That preparation made this a very easy installation. Other complaints above the cover being in the way or poor quality are completely false from our usage. The cover is actually a great feature, goes all the way back so its out of the way when your opening all can sizes big and small. And when your done you close it and it looks very savvy. Absolutely ecstatic about the quality and how well it works.

Want Black & Decker CO100 SpaceMaker Under-the-Cabinet Can Opener- White Discount?

I used a 2x4 piece of wood, cut to the diam. of the top of the can opener. Took a piece of paper put on top of the can opener & poked holes in the paper were the screws go into the can opener. Pre-drill the holes in the 2x4, Put screws in the holes & screwed the block of wood to the top of the can opener. Put under counter & screwed down with (4)drywall screws...They will hold can opener firmly, but will not go all the way through the 2x4... Perfect job! Done in about 30 minutes...Hope this will help someone...

J.K. Adams 14-Inch-by-9-Inch Maple Wood Bread Cutting Board with Crumb Catching Grooves

J.K. Adams 14-Inch-by-9-Inch Maple Wood Bread Cutting Board with Crumb Catching GroovesThis is a great bread board much more affordable than some of the two-piece ones (why two pieces??), and looks great for use in the kitchen or for serving the bread on the table. The wood is a great quality and large enough for any loaf bread. I would highly recommend this item.

I bake my own bread and have quite a mess of crumbs when I slice it, which is why I wanted to try a crumb-catcher cutting board. This one is not too big and does the trick. Fits easily into a drawer, standing next to my pots and pans. It is also attractive and reversible. The crumbs definitely get caught in the slats. I still, of course, have some crumbs on the counter, but it is a bit neater. I put a rubber pad under the cutting board to keep it from sliding on my granite counter-top (actually, it is a leftover scrap of padding that I cut to put under a rug).

I should have measured it out at home. This is half the size I expected it to be. In fact, I might get another one and glue them together. I really like the cutting board. We always have problems with crumbs and our last wood bread cutting board from IKEA did not last very long at all.

The Ultimate Edge Model 10NC Coarse Diamond Sharpening Steel

The Ultimate Edge Model 10NC Coarse Diamond Sharpening SteelI am fanatical about keeping my knives sharp and have purchased countless sharpeners. This one is my favorite. A few swipes really defines the edge of my knives and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to keep their knives razor sharp.

After years of using my Chicago Cutlery sharpening steel I just couldn't keep a good edge on the knives any more. This sharpener quickly got the knives back in shape to where I can just dress them with the steel again. The abrasive is adhered to a ferrous material so I can hang it on my magnetic knife holder. I wouldn't use this as my only sharpener you really want to finish with a finer grit.

Bought one, then another, and another, and gave them as gifts. I think I ended up with about 4 but don't use them much anymore. Gave me the start for a nice edge so only once in a while, or with a really dull knife. Everyone could use this around the house...kitchen, workshop, game room (or wherever you set up your hunting stuff)!

Messermeister Pro-Touch 4-1/4-Inch Orange Mini Santoku with Sheath

Messermeister Pro-Touch 4-1/4-Inch Orange Mini Santoku with SheathLet me first say that I bought this knife for one purpose -to use as a portable and lightweight chef knife when hiking and camping. For that purpose, I believe you are going to have a tough time finding a better deal.

It is very sharp, right out of the package. Blade seems to be fairly decent polished stainless, not too thin. It weighs almost nothing. I haven't weighed it yet, but I'd be surprised if it was more than 1 oz. The sheath also fits super tight, so it won't come off accidentally.

I would definitely not buy this for an everyday knife at home, but it is perfectly suitable as a throwaway or just something you're going to use every so often. The weight and fitted sheath are the aspects that I enjoy the most. It's a cheap little thing, but I would definitely not use the word "junk." I don't think you are going to find anything better within $5 of this price point.

I'm a Messermeister fan and saw this knife for such a reasonable price on Amazon, I had to try it. It's great for working with fruit and also trimming silver skin off meat. Unbelievable value. I wish they had more sizes but I can't find any.

Chicago Cutlery Essentials 4-Piece Steak Packaging Set

Chicago Cutlery Essentials 4-Piece Steak Packaging SetThese knives cut like there's no tomorrow. They are well built, well balanced and worth every penny. I like them so much that I purchased a set for my son and my daughter as well.

The knives are what you might expect for the price. They looked like some other Chicago Cutlery knives that I have that are much better so I expected more. They cut more like a saw than a knife and being serrated are not easily sharpened. They also have thinner handles than my original ones. I wish I had shopped a little more carefully and found the better quality ones.

Messermeister 7" Chef's Edge-Guard

Messermeister 7' Chef's Edge-GuardThis is my second purchase. Well worth the protection. I have a small kitchen cleaver which doesn't fit within my knife block. Using the Edge Guard allows me to safely hang the cleaver by the hole hook in the cleaver blade above the counter / beneath a kitchen cabinet. No worries about accidentally nicking something while the cleaver is displayed hanging. Why a second purchase? I had the original EdgeGuard for many, many years and recently replaced the original for asthetic reasons. Recently I tried to use the cleaver to crack open a coconut. I forgot to remove the Edge-Guard and made numerous hard whacks, wondered why the cleaver wasn't cleaving, then realized I hadn't removed the Edge-Guard from the cleaver's cutting edge. To my surprise, the Edge-Guard held its own. Although there were a couple of hairline cracks, the guard did NOT break through to expose the cutting edge--and I'm talking several HARD whacks! I could have lived with it 'as is' but decided to replace it anyway. It has a secure hold on the cutting edge. It would function very well for knife storage within drawers.

Actually I am surprised with the quality and durability of this chef's knife guard. Notice that this guard is not closed from all directions but allows the top part of the knife to go a bit outside if required. It is a light magnetic feeling so it grips the knife very well. Protection is 100%. Great stuff.

Works great. Although I've had some issues with the thickness of the knife. Sometimes they fall off sometimes it takes a lot of effort to get it off. But I'd rather deal with that then cut my hand digging in drawers or knife kits.

Messermeister 4-Piece Edge-Guard Set

Messermeister 4-Piece Edge-Guard Set, BlackI had bought some Ultimate Edge knife guards and decided I needed more. I saw these instead and got them, since I wanted black ones also.

These work okay, but I noticed that they weren't very secure on thinner knives, including a nikiri and santoku. They moved with relative ease, which isn't what you want in a knife guard. You want the edge guard to have a nice secure grip on the blade. The Messermeisters unfortunately have a slightly larger gap than the Ultimate Edge edge guards.

Another thing I found was that it required a bit more attention to install on the knife. While the Ultimate Edge edge guards have slightly flared openings, these Messermeisters are straight with notched the corners on one side. It's very hard to see in the photo since it's black. But zoom in and you'll see it. The problem is that more often then not you catch your blade on the square corner when trying to slide it into the edge guard. It's a bit annoying sometimes. But it's not that big of a deal, really. I just wonder if they did that just to get around a patent.. Who knows.

VERDICT:

Unless you *really* have to have black or blue edge guards, go with the Ultimate Edge brand edge guards which are more secure and easier to use.

These are very serviceable edge protectors they're relatively inexpensive, fairly sturdy, notched at the heel-end for easy insertion, and hold onto their blades fairly snugly. I use them for all the assorted loose knives in my blade drawer, to protect both the blades and also the hands of those who reach within. I also use them when packing knives in my knife bag, as they help protect the fabric of the latter.

Minor nits: I wish the manufacturer also made these in 12" and 14" sizes, as I have several slicing knives (bread, meat and lox) in that range ... for which covers are a bit hard to find.

I am a culinary student and I have a knife kit that has quite a few knives. After a few close calls almost cutting myself as I removed items from the kit. I had a different style knife guard on my chef's knife(which is special to me) to keep it from getting damaged but it was a large clear shell that was simply too bulky and expensive to outfit my entire kit with. I found these and decided to give them a try. I am really pleased, they fit my knives very well with no excess bulk or weight. They also are quick to remove but still secure enough to stay on in transport. I was concerned that they would not stay in place on my thinner Japanese knives but they are secure even on my usuba. I have range of knives from different manufacturers (shun, henckels, and mercer) and they fit the same on all different styles of knives.

I have no complaints at this point. They do what they are meant to do without excess bulk and at a reasonable price. Highly recommended for anyone with kitchen knives that are not in a block.

Norpro Citrus Peeler

Norpro Citrus PeelerMy boyfriend gave me one of these originally, and after I used it a few times I wondered how I managed without it. I eat a lot of oranges, and it's so much easier to peel them with this. I make a circumference around the top, and then slice down from there to the base all around the orange. Then I use the end without the tiny plastic blade to pry the peel away from the flesh to start each peel. My fingers and fingernails never get overwhelmed with pith now. Not only does it make the job easier, but it's fun to use too, and I love its pleasing little orange shape and the way it easily fits on my finger when I'm using it. My boyfriend has one that is several years old, and the one he gave me is two years old now, and they still cut into the peel easily and are still in use. I ordered 10 of them so I could have another at work and extras to give away to family, friends and coworkers who were attracted to it when they'd see me use it, and several of them have told me how much they love it too. I've never tried any other kind of peeler, but I totally love and recommend this one.

I have tried many different types of citrus peelers over the years, and this by far has always been my favorite. They are long lasting, and I have yet to have one break. I usually lose them or they are borrowed and not returned. They fit in any size lunch bag. The last time I purchased this peeler was over 10 years ago from a cookingware store. I am finally down to my last one, and was happy to find they are still available. The cutting point does wear down with time, but is still able to cut. The rounded edge is similar to your finger nail and will help remove the peel as well as the white stuff. No more getting orange peel under your nails. I have small hands, and this tool works great for me. I highly recommend it.

Wusthof Create-A-Set Knife Storage Block

Wusthof Create-A-Set Knife Storage BlockBlock is well made, heavy and nice looking. I do not know much about the wood, but the wood is hard, and you can not scratch it with your nail. It well matchs my wusthof classic knives.

scissor's model number is 5558. The steel is 9 inch long, and heavy and well made. Though it does not carry model number, it does feels like something belong to Wusthof grand pix line.

The block can handle 12 inch long knife.

The width of uppper slot is 2.5 inch. If you have a cleaver, there is no place to put it.

In short, this is a great starting set to hold wusthof knives.

Finding the perfect knife set is nearly impossible. Most sets include a lot of extras that you probably didn't want. Most of us need the basics (big chopping knife, smaller knife and paring knife) plus a few. Buying this block and outfitting it yourself is the much more economical way to purchase a knife set. Especially when you are talking about somewhat pricey knives like Wusthof. This block is perfect. There are plenty of large and small slots and slots for steak knives. It easily fits my 8" cooks' knife. The block is a little bit bigger than I anticipated. It's a little 'longer' than I thought it would be. But it's beautiful and really doesn't take up much counter space. It's solid and hefty, doesn't move around when taking knives in and out. I love that it came with the sharpening steel and scissors. I would have gladly bought the block itself for the price I paid. This is a great product for anyone looking to put together their own knife set. Highly recommended.

It's sturdy, not too big, looks great. Fits a few of our older knives, and the new Wusthof 8 inch chef's knife and 3 1/2 inch paring knife that I just bought for my husband.
