Replacement Peeling Knife for Apple / Potato Peeler

Replacement Peeling Knife for Apple / Potato PeelerThis blade is for our amazing apple peeler. Can peel and swirl cut 50# of apples in two hours. Would take about 6 days by hand. Cores, peels, swirl cuts in one motion. Brought the replacement blade, for future use. Using peeler for 3 autumns and no replacement necessary. Can recommend product whole heartedly. Well worth the price, in fact, more than well worth the price. Will always have plenty of apples on hand just to use it.

TableCraft 12" Wooden Magnetic Utility Knife Bar

TableCraft 12' Wooden Magnetic Utility Knife BarI bought this to hold keys, not knives. The magnet(s) handles everything we throw on it, so I would definately think a couple of skinny knives would be no problem.

Kuhn Rikon 4 Inch Periwinkle Paring Knife With Sheath

Kuhn Rikon 4 Inch Periwinkle Paring Knife With SheathThe Kuhn Rikon Nonstick Paring Knife is a very good value for a quality knife. We own several of these knives in different colors for use at home and in our shop. The different colors allow us keep the ones we use to cut materials in our workshop from accidently being used for food products.

The blade is *VERY* sharp and holds it's edge very nicely. The nonstick coating on the blade is a real plus as it helps to keep the knife clean as well as to keep it moving through thicker items. The snug fitting platic sheath is a welcome addition to safely store or transport the knife.

My only complaint is the light feel of the plastic handle. It isn't flimsy exactly, just lacks heft. This might just be a personal prefference issue and it hasn't stopped me from buying more of them.

Overall this is a very good paring knife at a reasonable price. Recommended!

Chicago Cutlery MagnaSharp Mouse Knife Sharpener

Chicago Cutlery MagnaSharp Mouse Knife SharpenerI bought one of these locally about a year ago and have been very pleased with it. The body is made of durable plastic so if you happen to drop it there's not much chance it will break. I really like that it has a magnet on the back allowing me to keep it on the side of the fridge right next to the knife block!

The ceramic rods in this sharpener put a dependably keen edge on my knives with just 4-6 strokes. I use mine all the time and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

i do not currently own this one, though i like the magnet idea. what most people who get these and have problems do not relise is that you DO have to hold the knife correctly AND you must apply the correct pressure.those of us who know the OLD way or just cook alot know this applys to iron sharpning.

if you own an electric sharpner you simply pull or stick it in(acording to the make) and the machen dose the rest. with this type of sharpner you MUST hold the knife straight up and push as if you were cuting a tomato(enouph to cut but not crush)and pull it through.depending on how dull your blade is and how hard the edge is will depend on how many pulls this requires.DO NOT OVER SHARPEN YOUR BLADE!this will make the edge too thin and little bits will break off and ragged edges to apper in your knife, that will make it harder to get a good clean cut. hope this is helpful.

i don't understand why some reviewers say it doesn't sharpen. i got this littler sucker with my chicago cutlery insignia set and it sharpens great, just 3-5 strokes every few uses, just like one of the other positive reviewers said. afterwards, i can slice tomatos just millimeters thick with ease and virtually no pressure. it's not a professional-caliber sharpener and i don't know how well it works on non-chicago cutlery blades that might have a different pitch or angle, but for 8 bucks, it works great.

I like it because it stays on the fridge and is easy to find when I need it. It sharpens my santuko knife alright but sometimes I wish I'd bought a different type because I cannot sharpen my kitchen shears with it, they're too thick to fit in the slot.

Seems to do a better job with some knives than others. It is easy to hold with elderly hands (smile). I recommend it for ease of use and comfortable to handle.

The magnetic back makes it easy to keep close without cluttering the kitchen counter.

Jean Dubost Laguiole 3-piece Cheese Knives Corkscrew Set--Ivory Handles

Jean Dubost Laguiole 3-piece Cheese Knives Corkscrew Set--Ivory HandlesI am almost embarrassed to admit how many Laguiole cheese sets I've acquired, but suffice to say that I am hooked. And for good reasons in my opinion.

First, compulsive personality aside, this set is exceptionally well crafted. Consider that a run-of-the-mill cheese knife set that is mass produced in an Asian factory is probably going to retail for about the same twenty-six bucks this is going for at the time of this review. Granted, some of the materials will probably be identical, and perhaps the craftsmanship will be close to the untrained eye. But there is something to be said for tradition, and this set was made in accordance with a longstanding tradition of pride and craftsmanship in Thiers France.

Second, the design and balance of any Laguiole utensil or instrument is unique to that brand. The reason I included 'instrument' is I have a Laguiole made fountain pen too! There is something about the shape and curves that seems to magically distribute the weight of these knives and corkscrew. It is that characteristic that fuels my addiction.

Another nice touch for every genuine Laguiole product is the wood box in which it ships. The box itself is nothing particularly special. Just wood with a cutout for each utensil. But it is almost a tradition to ship their products in such a box, and the box comes in handy in organizing your utensils in a drawer. There is no top there never is (at least for the sets I own).

This makes a perfect gift, or a no-nonsense cheese and wine set that was designed to be used instead of displayed.

Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Chef's Knife

Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Chef's KnifeI own many knives including several Wusthof's but I must admit that this one has been the true workhorse of my kitchen. Its a heavy but very versatile knife that possess amazing sharpness and balance that comes in very useful for just about any task from cutting up whole poultry to chopping up vegetables. I highly recommend it especially at this price.

This is a handsome knife with its heft and the full-tang full-forged stainless steel body, a great knife in the kitchen and value for the money. I have had this for over 2 years now (gift from my daughter). It has become my knife-workhorse in the kitchen because of its convenient weight, its size; that it is well-balanced and keeps its sharpness.

Buy Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Chef's Knife Now

You could not get a better chef's knife for the price. Unbelievable. I have had mine for 6 years and never had to have it sharpened professionally. I keep it very sharp with a steel.

I would never buy any other knife now. I use to only buy Henkels. I must have had at least 6 Henkels throughout the years at about $100 bucks per knife. The Calphalon is way easier to keep sharp....and I like the weight better too. I guess there is more carbon in the steel. At any rate....the price is right and I actually love the knife more than any I have used before

I've been getting into cooking and was in the market for something better than the super cheap lightweight knives I've used my whole life, and decided before shelling out triple digits for a high end Shun or something, to take it in baby steps and try a mid range knife like this and see how it goes from there.

This is a GREAT knife for me to use around the kitchen. It glides through raw meats and vegetables alike; cleanly and effortlessly. It's got a good heft and feels very solid and reliable but is also well balanced. I'm still very careful and methodical with slicing and chopping, but this knife (plus the 5" and 7" Calphalon Santoku set) have taken the chore and effort out of it and made it a real breeze. At this point, I don't forsee a need to upgrade to the high end; these knives seem VERY well made.

Zwilling JA Henckels Professional "S" Utility Set

Zwilling JA Henckels Professional 'S' Utility SetI wanted a serrated knife dedicated to cutting Spanish meats that I buy from from a local specialty market. I own other Henckels knives so I know they make a sharp, quality knife. I came across this set and found out the same knife by itself from Amazon is $57! With this set, you get the same $57 knife, shears and a cutting board for less than the price of the knife alone. I jumped on it and purchased this item even against the review about the board cracking. To remedy that, I just bought some Joyce Chen bamboo oil for the board and I have not had a problem. The knife is just what I expected from German quality knives. The shears are great too plus made in Germany (they go for $20 here on Amazon). The board is approximately 12"x10" and it is made in China. I would recommend this set to anyone looking for a great serrated knife for cutting everything from meats to fruits/veggies.

I was happy with my purchase when I received it. The shear is the main reason I bought this set and it does meet my expectation. The cutting board is a nice bonus. It worked fine at first. But after only three uses, there is a very noticable crack on the edge of the board. After wash, the crack becomes even bigger and deeper, and more obvious. I started purchasing things from Amazon recently and this is my first compliant. I don't know what I could do since I used the shear and the cutting baord already.

Chicago Cutlery Essentials 4-3/4-Inch Utility Knife

Chicago Cutlery Essentials 4-3/4-Inch Utility KnifeFor the price its a good deal since this and the 3 1/2" paring knife together are under $12 on here and sure do come in handy for smaller kitchen prep work. They sharpen easily and have a good handle. The blade is thin enough to make fine slicing easy but also sturdy enough for tough skinned lemons and limes. I leave one on the bar with a mini cutting board for cocktail prep and its held up well for several years now.

Normally this knife is good. I own one which i got from Walmart and it is super sharp. So wanted to get one more and guess what, I choose to get it from amazon. (Big Mistake). The knife that arrived is like a peice of log does not cut anything. So it would be better to get from Walmart than from Amazon.

Buy Chicago Cutlery Essentials 4-3/4-Inch Utility Knife Now

I wanted a knife with a non-porous handle for occasional use cutting up melons in season. I don't have use for a knife of this size for other reasons so I did not want to spend a lot of money. I do not think this knife will stand up to a tough watermelon.

The knife blade is too thin for the length. The knife is not sharp. It won't slice a carrot. It splits it instead. The handle is too small for the length of the blade. I don't feel comfortable (safe) using it. I have another Chicago Cutlery knife that I like a lot and that has served me for many years. It is still sharper than the new knife.

Wüsthof Classic Ikon Paring Knife - 4½" - Creme

Wüsthof Classic Ikon Paring Knife - 4½' - CremeWhen I was a kid and trying to learn to cook my mother had only one knife for chopping, paring and slicing. It was the worst knife ever! It was so dull that cucumbers would sort of quish instead of cut, and she kept it until she died. My step-father did learn how to sharpen it better but it was still the worst. These Ikon knives are fabulous. I thought it would be fun to have the white ones and I really am glad I have gotten a whole set

Linden Sweden Daloplast Red Apple Cutting Board

Linden Sweden Daloplast Red Apple Cutting BoardI think this cutting board is great for cutting quick fruit snacks. My children always want an orange, apple, or strawberry snacks and this one is perfect for all that. Also quality is good and cute as well.

to small for a chopping board but i found it useful for cutting up small items like onions and tomatoes but the price was to high with shipping

Mundial BP666 Red Dot 8 1/2" Take-A-Part Kitchen/Utility Shears

Mundial BP666 Red Dot 8 1/2' Take-A-Part Kitchen/Utility ShearsI received these shears as a gift about 3 years ago and they are constantly in use! When I roast a chicken, I use them to cut the wings and drumsticks off, and they come in very handy when you need to open any paper packets or even when you need to slice up some parsley or chives...I love them so much that I am buying two more for relatives. Note about the washing I never wash mine by hand (unless I need them right away for another dish) they normally go right into the dishwasher.

I bought these shears as a gift for my mother. She really liked them. In a recent move, they were lost and my parents wrote me to try to find out how to replace them. I went through my order history on Amazon.com, found the original order, and reordered another pair of shears. My parents are happy again! And I earn points as a good daughter! All for finding a good product on Amazon.com twice.

Lock&Lock Cookplus Nova Stainless Steel Flatware, 30-Piece

Lock&Lock Cookplus Nova Stainless Steel Flatware, 30-PieceI waited a little while before reviewing these to see how they'd hold up after a bunch of times through the dishwasher. They've been washed quite a bit and still look brand new! They have a nice feel to them and they aren't to heavy or bulky. The knives have a little bit of a sharp point to them that can be a little tricky if your spreading jam and peanut butter but once you get used to it it's not a problem. These will last a long time and stay shiny due to be 18/10.

Very sleek and stylish. Bought as a gift for my mother and she was very happy with them. Shipment was fast.

Paula Deen Signature Cutlery 4-Piece Steak Knife Set

Paula Deen Signature Cutlery 4-Piece Steak Knife SetAfter washing these knives less than a dozen times, they're rusting. You get the impression they're solid stainless steel from the weight and look of the handle, but the packaging really doesn't provide a clue as to their true construction. I'm a little disappointed. I've been searching for a relatively inexpensive 4-6 set of good steak knives for many months and I thought I found them... wrong.

These steak knives are great because I can sharpen them. I do not like serrated knives. Also, these are very "classy" looking and fit well with casual or formal settings.

Buy Paula Deen Signature Cutlery 4-Piece Steak Knife Set Now

I was thoroughly disappointed with this product. I tried cutting vegetables before trying them on steaks, and I'm glad I did. Since these steak knives cannot cut a bell pepper, I didn't want to mangle a real steak with one. I had several people try them. AND absolutely everyone found them difficult to use.

I love these knives. The quality and weight of the knives are just right. They fit in the hand comfortably.

Want Paula Deen Signature Cutlery 4-Piece Steak Knife Set Discount?

These knives are an extremely good value. They cut meat smoothly with little effort. I do take the time to sharpen them from time to time but do not consider that an inconvenience. The steak knives I had before were serated blades, I hated them. These knives are every bit as good as knives costing much more.

Bambu 12-Inch Large Cork Bowl, Natural

Bambu 12-Inch Large Cork Bowl, NaturalI saw these bowls in Whole Foods and fell instantly in love with them. I live in a warm, humid climate and these bowls are great because they stave off mold, moisture, etc. It has a clean, compact look. Easy to take care of. When shopping around everyone is asking $60.00 for them. Bought them on Amazon for $12 and change (80% savings). Plus feel good about using a recycled product. I'm thinking about a cutting board next....Cork is a tough, durable material!

The size and look of this bowl is great! It cleans easily and doesn't spot like I thought it might. The only downfall is that it has a strong odor, hoping with a few washes it will go away.
