YOSHIHIRO- Shiro-ko Kasumi Deba Chef Knife 6" 150mm- MADE IN JAPAN
I have never heard about brand name yoshihiro, so I was a little worried about purchasing. After I use this deba, my worry is gone. Definitely one of the best brand knife. This is my first deba, and I fell in love with it.Save 21% Off
Wusthof Classic 5-Inch Sandwich Knife
Knife is the perfect size for kitchen work that requires more than a 3" paring knife but less than my 8" chef's knife. It is the most used knife in our kitchen. The Wusthof Classics are well made (some of ours are 15+ years old), this holds an edge well, and is comfortable to use. I have since given one to each of my kids.Save 20% Off
LamsonSharp 3" x 8" Perforated Turner
I purchased this after my son decided to hide my old standard spatula that I used all the time. This is a bit larger then I need for making breakfast but works great for my BBQ grill. I've seen these used aboard the different ships I've worked on over the years and noticed that they can take years of commerical grade daily use and still hold up (I've seen some ship original issue spatulas that are going on 15 years of daily use at this point!) Great to support an American made product and company. I would recommend a 3" x 6" for kitchen use.
Ginsu Essential Open Stock Series Japanese 420J2 Stainless Steel 5-Inch Santoku Blade 5100
This was ordered mostly to bring an order to $25 to qualify for free shipping, and my wife gave me grief for ordering it -"we don't need another knife". Now I barely get to use it as she ALWAYS goes for this one first! AND she just bought a set of this size and a 7" also for our daughter. You can't go wrong at this price for such a well-made, well-balanced and useful knife. Unless you buy the 2 piece set for $12 and change.

Super sharp, good handle, great price. Not sure how long it will hold this great edge but it's a very nice tool at the moment.
Felix Platinum Starterset, 3-Piece
I received a couple of Felix knives about 35 years ago when my parents went to Germany. They have been a mainstay in the kitchen ever since. I bought this set for my daughter and I was envious when they arrived. They are of incredible quality. They have great balance. They are sharp beyond belief. I have mine professionally sharpened about once every 7 years and use steel in between. If hers hold half the edge mine have, I am sure she will be using hers 35 years from now.Save 27% Off

This whole set is so beautiful, however it is awkward to use, because the big fork is so huge that doesn't grip well in your hands.

Wusthof Gourmet 2-Piece Asian Knife Set
This are a great low end knife. They are sharp, well balanced, and well designed.However they are the 'cheap series' and do not hold a point like the more expensive knives.

These are the best knives I have ever owned. Always keep their edge. Require very infrequent sharpening. Run them across a steel after every 3 or 4 uses. No need to do it sooner.Want Wusthof Gourmet 2-Piece Asian Knife Set Discount?
The Wusthof Asian knife set arrived promptly and met all of my expectations. High quality workmanship, sharp blades and versatile. They fit in quite nicely with our other Wusthof Classic and Wusthof Gourmet knives.
Shimomura Left Handed Yanagiba Sashimi Knife 200mm #6298
This knife can take a nice edge and holds it relatively well -tho not as well as many other Japanese knives, but it is not carbon steel as advertised. It appears to be stainless steel. And more importantly, the back is not hollow ground. For only $50 bucks I didn't expect much, but this is more like a $20 noname knife.
LamsonSharp 3" x 6" Chef?s Slotted Turner, red
Really nice turner...my wife used it all the time as she likes the feel & the thin frontal edge. We already had one so this one is her second as she was always hand-washing it between dishwasher cleanings so I got her another one.
Ginsu Essential Series 10-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set with Triple Riveted Polymer Handles and N
I bought these knives for like 20$ when I first got my new apartment and had no complaints about them. Lately, after dishwashing I have noticed a few spots and stuff but thats my fault because your not supposed to dishwash them. An example of how sharp these knives are, the other day I was taking my dishes to the sink and the knife fell off the plate, bounced on the carpet, and then fell tip-upward toward mytoes. It slid between my large toe and the one next to it, and it didnt hurt much but a moment later I felt wetness between my toes and had a surprisingly deep gouge. I put a bandaid on it for a few days and it was fine, but I was surprised at how the blade managed to cut me with such little momentum. They are pretty sharp! Had them for about 4 months and think this was a great alternatives to a knife set running 100$ and upward, which I had almost bought, but then reconsidered and tried these instead and I'm glad I did.Edit: It's been at least six months, and the knives are great, except for one of the big ones that I rarely use. I usually just use the smaller ones, and it looks like this larger one had developed some rust spots. I can probably scrum them out, but I think I had probably used it and hand-washed it and put it back in the knife block without wiping off the water, and that's how it got rust stains. I usually dishwash them and none of the other knives have any spots or stains like that. Other than that one thing, they are still a great value, just wipe any extra cindensation off of them before placing in the block.
No problems with rust, but, then again, I wash and dry with each use so I don't see it as a problem.
Blades are great, cut cleanly, effortlessly.
All in all a nice set for the price.
Update Have to take back what I said about the shears. The hinge is WAY too flexible (plastic on plastic). They make a decent, general purpose, light duty, household shear, but not a whole lot better than a plain set of scissors. Scissors might be better, actually. Knives are doing great. As I said, I wash and dry them as I use them. Or shortly there after, so no rust.This set of knifes was a Christmas gift for my husbands parents (we had already given a set to my parents) This is a GREAT set of knifes, we purchased us a set and knew we had to get our parents a set, we often talk about how dull our knifes are! They cut so well you will think your stake is Tender even if it is tough like cutting BUTTER!!!!! For the price I will and have recommended This knife set!!!!i bought these thinking they were ginsu so they were quality and they are jusnk it says dishwasher safe i put 2 in the dishwasher and they came out covered in rust!!!! the handles are sturdy and light wieght but i have had that less then a month and all but one knife has rusted and 1 broke while cutting a potato so please dont waste your money on these

Stanton Trading 18 by 24 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board, Green
I am actually not using this for a cutting board, but as a bottom shelf in my refrigerator. I looked all over the internet to find one big enough, at the right price. This was less than half of what some were charging. This would also be a perfect board for cleaning large fish. I may get another one to keep on my boat.
SharkTail
I purchased this knife at the recommendation of a friend. I cook frequently and found this knife to be one of the best that I haved used. It has a serated edge for easy, precise slicing of tomatoes and the sharktail end is perfect for coring tomatoes and strawberries. Works great on artichokes too!Highly recommend.
Rada Cheese Knife Black Handle Dishwasher Safe W-239
This cheese slicer does its job well. I have used it on hard and soft cheeses and it cuts through them with ease. I was a little nervous because the blade looked different compared to other cheese cutters but I trusted Rada and was not disappointed. It is a decent sized knife and fairly easy to clean. I am not sure what the two prongs at the tip of the knife are for but I have only used the edge. You can slice cheese fairly thin but not super thin.I have always been a big fan of Rada cutlery. I find that they are comparable with the best brands and are a lot cheaper. There are two versions, a black handle and an aluminum handle. I always go with the black handle because it is dishwasher safe. Also the aluminum handles tend to darken over time anyways.

Paderno World Cuisine Chestnut Knife, 6 1/4"
When I first received it, I tried it out on a chestnut only to find out that the knife wasn't even scratching the skin of the chestnut because of how dull it was. It was worse than a butter knife and I could press my finger against it as hard as I could without cutting myself. The handle is cheap plastic but I didn't buy it because I wanted something fancy, just something that could make scoring chestnuts a bit easier.Luckily, I had a decent knife sharpener and after many, many passes through that, this thing was actually able to begin scratching the chestnut. A few more passes and it was ready for use. The angle for the tip makes it easy to first puncture the skin, and then drag it across the nut to score it. Great design, horrible quality, and horrible sharpness but I gave it 3 stars because after some extensive sharpening, I can't imagine going back to using a paring knife for scoring chestnuts.

Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set
I essentially agree with what other reviewers have written (except that Mn is molybdenumMn is manganese, Mo is molybdenum). Are they of the superior craftsmanship of the Wusthof Classic line? No, they are not. But at a fraction of the price of Classic, you already knew they wouldn't be. The plastic handle and thinner steel do feel a bit on the cheap size when holding the knife, but they look great alongside the rest of our Wusthof cutlery (which is why my fiance and I bought them). And don't worry about performance; all meats that I've cut succumb nicely to the straight edge blades. What I can't comment on is the blades' longevity. We've only had them a short while, and I don't know how they'll hold their edge.My final word on them is that those who can afford the Classic line (and I truly wish I was one of them) should purchase the Classic. But for those who can't, don't be shy about purchasing Gourmet. You'll get what you pay for, and since you're paying for Wusthof, how disappointed can you be?

Wusthof is a producer of quality knives, but double check your order, especially if you ordered more than one knife at a time. I have read many consumer reviews on the block set where consumers found that only a couple knives from the set were quality while the rest were not. I received a block set (8130) of Wusthof knives for Christmas. After close investigation, I noticed that most of the knives were not what I ordered. While I ordered the Gourmet line, most of the knives received were of much lesser quality. Only three knives were the actual gourmet line of knives as they are stamped with serial numbers. If your knives are stamped with a number beginning with "8", then chances are you received the incorrect knives in the set. Wusthof quality knives begin with the number four (including Grand Prix, Culinare, Gourmet, etc). I have contacted both the Food Network and Wusthof to make them aware of this issue. It appears there has been a problem in the shipping area of one of the two. The Food Network has been great when speaking with them. I want to make sure everyone has actually received what they have paid for. As far as the three Gourmet knives I received, they are very good quality. I sent the entire block back (paid for by the Food Network) and am looking forward to "playing" with my new set of Gourmet knives.Read Best Reviews of Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set Here
I searched through Amazon looking at the different steak knives and their reviews. I decided on these because of the following: 1. They appeared to be of a medium vice entry quality; 2. They are non-serrated thereby allowing me to sharpen at home using my honing steel and/or knife sharpener; and 3. They go well with my mid-quality J. A. Henckels International Classic kitchen knives. I am not a knife expert, but an average person would be hard pressed to not like or find any material fault with these steak knives. I noticed one reviewer mention that they were a bit thinner than other Wusthof knives. However, I found them to be reasonably thick (they are not tinny) and quite satisfactory. They are steak knives, not kitchen knives. I feel this is a good quality product and am well satisfied with my purchase of them. I hope this review helps fellow Amazon customers because I know many of the reviews for steak knives are quite diverse.Want Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set Discount?
These are by no means cheap knives. They are inexpensive relative to the quality they deliver. The knives I really wanted were also from Wusthof. Unfortunately, they were $180.00. So the decision was between a.) the best knives which will last a lifetime or b.) the best knives which will last 25 years for less than a third of the price.The gourmet series knives cut through steak like "buttah". They feel good and well balanced in the hand. The fact that it's not a full tang has no effect on the usefulness or performance so I am happy with these knives and recommend them to you if you want the best and if money IS an object.

Ginsu 8-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set with Natural Hardwood Block 4872
This isn't a review, I have not used them yet. This is a list of what is in the box since the product description does not say what's included in the set.* 3.5" Paring Knife
* 5" Utility Knife
* 5.5" Boning Knife
* 7" Santoku
* 8" Slicer
* 8" Chef's Knife
* Kitchen Shears
* Knife Block
Much like the Ginsu advertised ability to cut through metal and retain it's edge, this set holds up well to daily use and abuse! We purchased this set for my son who is setting up his first apartment, and when we opened the box, I was very surprised at the quality of the knives and block.
Great knife set at this price point!

Okay, I've wanted a set of these knives for like 20 years. My old butcher block set was shot. I decided to invest in this Ginsu set because the price was reasonable and I'm not fussy. I am absolutely delighted with them. Who knew such little knives could be so sharp and powerful. I've only had occasion to use the big carvers once and they were able to cut a chicken breast into amazingly fine slices. You will not regret this purchase.Read Best Reviews of Ginsu 8-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set with Natural Hardwood Block 4872 Here

I don't know quite what I was expecting but it wasn't what I got. Perhaps I should have recalled those famous Ginsu TV ads where they cut through nail and a pop can, etc. and I would have suspected the blades were all going to be serrated and thick. In fact 5 out of the 6 knives have serrated edges. The reason I don't like serrated is they cannot be easily sharpened when they eventually get dull. And even that would be okay if they were actually quite sharp to begin with but alas, they are not all that sharp... in fact, these are the dullest knives in the house right now and so maybe it is fortunate that they are serrated because they seem to require a sawing action to get any serious cutting out of them. Because these knives often require a sawing motion on so many items, I find in some situations they can actually be dangerous, like 'sawing' a slice off a peeled melon or peeled mango etc. that's already slippery. One of the knives already had some rusting on it right out of the box. Also the blades are quite thick and I suppose that is why they can cut a nail without doing too much damage but then really who wants to be able to cut a nail in half anyway? The santoku is the best of the set and does chop vegetables. This set was so cheap (price-wise) that I won't bother returning them to Amazon however at some point I will be back on Amazon again looking for yet another set of knives to use to cut-up fruits and vegetables, and this time I will make sure they are not serrated and hopefully have thinner (sharper) blades that can be re-sharpened easily and I'll save the Ginsu knives for any nails I need to cut-off.
