I bought this set of flatware with black handles (same seller, etc.) to replace a set of VERY cheap black handled Chinese-made flatware that I have had for over 25 years. I can tell you that I can't have paid much for the Chinese stuff (like 50 cents a piece), as I was broke back then. This "Laguiole" flatware seems to be made to exploit the Laguiole reputation, but without any of the traditional Laguiole qualities. The flatware is light, the steel is thin, the edges are milled carelessly (if at all; they sure aren't smooth), the fittings are not snug, and all this for nearly $200. Dubost has sold out. Oh but yeah, there's a wooden box to make up for it. What a disappointment. I am, in fact, a huge fan of Laguiole cutlery, knives, etc., but I would swear this flatware was made in China. Except it isn't as good.I read the other reviews here that are less than 5 stars and if I can elaborate why the rating is so low the Brand carries 2 levels of quality, the ones on www.amazon.com are the 1.5mm thickness metal which is lighter and easily bent hence the lower price. IF YOU WANT the premium stuff order via www.amazon.fr or an independent retailer. If you are willing to pay DOUBLE this price you are then really geting the brand quality. The french site translates as follows:LAGUIOLE ® HOUSEKEEPER FULL of 30 pcs color BLACK includes: 6x table knives + 6x + 6x table forks dessert forks + 6x + 6x tablespoons teaspoons steel 15/10 Stainless Blade: 1.5 mm thick EUR 325,00
*note the price difference. Hope this clarifies what you are purchasing and the indifference of reviews. If you want the brand for simply entertaining impressing and not expecting the top quality from this line then this series is fine if not spend the extra $ to keep for 20+ years to come.

My Global has been slicing bread for three years now and guests still comment that it's "a really sharp knife". A low-carb disbeliever, and living near Seattle bakeries that are serious about their product, I eat lots of bread. Much mileage on the knife and it still melts through hard-crust Toscano Loaves like they were Wonderbread. Two more of these knives have been purchased for wedding gifts. Followup shows that the newlywed recipients didn't know that there were special knives just for cutting bread and are using this wonderful knife for cutting up everything. And love it.Global knives are really awesome. This knife is amazingly sharp. Due to my own carelessness, I have actually cut my finger twice with this knife. I can assure you it goes through bread and finger with ease.More seriously, because it is one peice, it is easy to clean and looks awesome. The feel is great in my hand and the knife is balanced.

This was the second Global knife I ever bought. I've had it for many years, and the serrated blade keeps it cutting like the day I first took it out of the package.Besides cutting bread, which it handles in a Godly fashion, this has always been my knife of choice when cutting large roasts, turkeys, meatloaf, and even cakes. The serrated blade helps grip the meat as it slices, allowing for a perfectly thin piece every time. And with the meatloaf (as well as pates and terrines if you're savvy with the culinary lingo), it's the best tool to use without worry of the meat crumbling as you make each slice. I love using it for cake and even cheese cake because the long thin blade allows you to cut from end to end in one long slice rather than hacking at it with smaller knives that just weren't meant for the job.
So whether you're looking for a specific knife for your bread or roast cutting needs, or just another pretty knife to add to your collection, this is the knife for you.I own several bread/serrated knives: a Henckels 8'' bread knife, a Wusthof 10.25'' slicer, 3 versions of Victorinox wavy edge knives, and a Global bread knife. All are excellent knives and one cannot complain about owning either of them. I use the 20-years old Henckels mostly for cheese, the rest for bread. For tomatoes I definitely reach for a Victorinox knife. As a bread knife, Global wins easily, by a very wide margin. It also looks fabulous. Its teeth are somewhat too brutal for tomatoes and hard cheese. If you are willing to spend $100+, go with Global, and consider getting a Victorinox knife for tomatoes, maybe a 7'' chef's knife with a wavy edge. If you want to save $$$, you'll be plenty happy with the Victorinox only, but then you may want to get the 10 inch slicer or the offset bread knife. Think what other silly things you spend $$$ on, a great knife or two is probably a better use of your hard earned cash, and it will have you beaming from happiness, almost forever.
Arthur Court Grape Cheese Knife with 7-Inch Round White Marble Cheese Board
This cheese board is so pretty and it serves its purpose. I love it so much. It looks beautiful on my kicthen counter. I dont even want to use it. I just want to keep it as a show case.I wanted a smooth, round marble cheese board to fit inside a round, domed cut-glass tray (I keep cheese, crackers, and fruit on my kitchen table), finding this product also came with a lovely Arthur Court designed cheese knife (conveniently matches with a few other Arthur Court items I own). This 7-inch marble cheese board perfectly fit within my dome, leaving a wide enough area around its perimeter for arranging fruit and crackers under glass as well. I like that this board is slightly raised on small legs, keeping the food items more separated. While I will employ this cheese board for everyday use, it will also be great for entertaining guests and for use at holiday get togethers/dinners/parties, etc. This lovely and practical cheese board and knife set would also make a wonderfully thoughtful gift.Buy Arthur Court Grape Cheese Knife with 7-Inch Round White Marble Cheese Board Now
This is very nice! My 24 year old daughter gave it to a friend for her Bridal Shower, she loved it!I will start with the best part of this set...the marble cheeseboard. It is roughly 7 inches across and about 1/8 of a inch thick. The coloring of the marble is stunning. The one I got has no grey in it (the picture description shows some grey streaks), mine is white in color only with glistening irridescent flakes in it that shine like diamonds. It is really pretty. On the bottom of the cheeseboard are three black rubber stoppers to hold up and keep it from scraching surfaces. The included knife has a total length of 7 inches with just under 3 of those inches being made up of the blade. The blade is stamped stainless steel. The handle of the knife is quite pretty and detailed. The grape bundles on this look realistic. The only issue I have is that the knife handle feels very light. It just does not have the heft and weight that most other Arthur Court pieces have. I am not sure if it is hollow or what. It also seems that the joint where the blade goes into the handle is a little loose. I just hope that it lasts as long as the other pieces I have from this collection. Other than that this is a great set and gives an elegant look to your decor.Want Arthur Court Grape Cheese Knife with 7-Inch Round White Marble Cheese Board Discount?

I 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.Zwilling J. A. Henckels Miyabi 5000S Shotoh, Small Utility Knife
This is an absolutely gorgeous knife! The fit and finish is perfection, and the bevel grinding is also perfect, unlike, for example, the Henckels Twin Four Star line (not that the bevel is badly ground on those knives--it's just a little uneven from tip to heel and from side to side). The handle feels and looks incredible.The Henckels Miyabi line comes in four flavors:
1. Simply practical (like this knife), the 5000S knives, which use the same German steel as the Four Star series. It's not a bad steel, but it definitely won't reach the same hardness as the steel in the 7000MC Simply Sharp line. The handle is also different, and instead of being made from linen-micarta and stainless steel is made from a completely water-proof material that seems quite similar to the Four Star line, but also seems finished to a higher degree of smoothness and polish. The upshot is that if you (or your spouse) forget this knife after use and leave it sitting on a cutting board stewing in tomato juice, it WILL NOT RUST. It will also be fine soaking in a sink full of water or in a dishwasher. Hence the "practical" name of this lineup.
2. Simply Sharp, (like the J.A. Henckels MIYABI 7000MC Shotoh Small Utility Knife ), the 7000MC knives, which use Cowry-X as the cutting steel (they don't call it this, but that's what it is), sandwiched in three layers of stainless steel for rust resistance, strength, and durability. These knives are HRC 66 and have the linen micarta and stainless steel handle. The handle is exactly the same geometry, it's just made of a different (and more expensive) material. You can't put these knives in the dishwasher and if you leave them sitting on a cutting board with water or food juice on their edge, they just may rust on you! If you go for one of these knives, you need to understand that it should be washed and dried more or less immediately after use. They CAN NOT be abused. The edge is very, very hard, and thus will be more prone to nicking and chipping if you toss this knife in with silverware or other knives or place it point down in a silverware drying basket (don't laugh--it's not funny--this actually happened to me while a relative was visiting--they put my newly sharpened 6 inch four star chefs knife point down with the silverware--glad it wasn't a Hattori KD or anything)
3. Simply Beautiful, (like the J.A. Henckels MIYABI 7000D Shotoh Small Utility Knife ), the 7000D knives, which use CMV60 steel wrapped in 32 layers of select stainless steel giving the knife a wonderful damask design. These use the same handle material as the 7000MC knives, are sharper than the 5000S, but presumably not as sharp as the 7000MC knives, but more rust resistant than them as well (I would guess). In any case, the point is, get these knives if you want the damask appearance.
4. And finally the professional line, which has a more limited selection of models and is heavier duty.
Now, what you should know right away about ALL of these knives, is that the handle is a traditional Japanese handle. It is designed to be used with only THREE FINGERS on it. Your index finger and thumb are expected to be in a pinch grip on the blade. Or, in some cases, your index finger is to be extended out onto the "Mine" (back of the blade near the handle). So, the issue is that you CAN NOT grab this knife comfortably with your whole hand in the "hammer" grip--the handle is just too short, by about 1/2 an inch. Just doesn't work for that grip. And the diameter of the handle is fairly small--think about the size of your index finger. Personally, I just couldn't get used to it and immediately returned this knife. But, for those people who LIKE the Japanese style knives, the Miyabi's are incredible and I would highly recommend them. They are a bit handle-heavy, I suspect, but this shouldn't be a deal breaker for most people--not at all! And they are just so beautiful. I love the steel end of the handle, which has a Japanese character engraved on it. I really came close to keeping this knife because of how beautiful it was, figuring that I would get used to the new handle and grip-style, but in the end figured that that just wasn't practical. So, I returned this and ordered the J.A. Henckels Twin Cermax M66 5-Inch Paring/Utility Knife instead, as it has a much larger, Western style handle, and yet has the blade length and shape I was looking for in an HRC 66 steel (which I'm a bit worried about as I'm not the only one who uses my knives--but I'll take the chance this time--and I'd recommend considering the 7000MC version of this knife if you think you can properly care for it. It's about twice as expensive, but Cowry-X is an amazing steel!)Miyabi knives belong to best looking kitchen knives and when new are extremely sharp. There are two problems however. They tend to get rusty. Also the blade is too thin at the junction with the handle so the knives tend to bend .
One would certainly expect better quality from such super brand .
The beauty is unquestionable and sharpness superb.

BUILT Neoprene Origami Wine Bottle Tote, Black
I bought this Built NY wine bag because I liked the idea that it was collapsible. Unfortunately, in person it's not as neat as I expected.First, the texture of the bag isn't soft and wetsuit like the other Built NY bags. It actually feels like a thin layer of neoprene over cardboard or rigid plastic. Second, the bag itself pushes back (or resists collapsing) more than I liked when I collapsed it; I can only imagine my dexterity getting it closed after I drank said bottle. Last, when it does collapse it was far bigger than I would've liked; it wouldn't fit in my shoulder bag discreetly; I'm better off with their signature wine bag shoved in my purse.
RETURNED.I bought this for my boyfriend's mother and it was a hit. It is very cool looking and well made. It is stylish and practical. Makes a great gift.
MATFER BOURGEAT Plain Pelton Spatula Exoglass
Kuhn Rikon 4-Inch Nonstick Colori Paring Knife, Set of 3
I now own 6 of these little marvels. They are very easy to hold and make fast work of whatever food item you are cutting. I tend to use them for everything, leaving my expensive Henkel's knives in the block. I truly like the fact they have covers, which has saved my fingers numerous times when grabbing them out of the drawer.Yes that nice looking "+" symbol on the blade would have you thinking these are made in Switzerland with pride and quality craftsmanship, but think again. These are made in China. I purchased these about 5 years ago at a Williams Sonoma store thinking the same as probably 98% of the other buyers on here rating them so highly, they were made in Switzerland. WRONG.Make the same knife and put the Chinese flag on the blade and see how many you sell and how many stars people rate them as.
Anyway, in reviewing the knives and not the integrity of Kuhn Rikon, they are okay. After 5 years of careful, trained, adult use the blades requires sharpening about once a month with use of 3-5 times weekly. The blades are painted, and the paint chips/flakes off which being made in China wonder how much lead is in this paint, like the toys they try to poison our children with?
The handles are the best part, but you don't buy a knife for the handle.
Look around they are MANY other options for quality knives made by the Swiss or Germans, and worth the money. These, are sadly not.
Buy Kuhn Rikon 4-Inch Nonstick Colori Paring Knife, Set of 3 Now
I picked up this set because I wanted have an extra paring knife (most-used knife in the kitchen) and bring one to work to cut up an apple now and then. These knives are very pretty and different. They are coated in a colorful, slick material that matches a plastic handle and sheath. This makes the food more or less slide off the blade and the knife edge itself is very nicely sharp.The sheaths mean that you can drop one of these paring knives into a drawer when you are finished with them--and not worry about running into an open blade as you rummage in a drawer. I normally keep ALL my knives in a block on the counter, but when you buy more knives than you have space for in the block, that's an issue.
For picnics, travel, storing in a work drawer, these are superb and they cut very well. The set of three is handy--one for work, one for the picnic basket and one for the utensil drawer at home. Or keep them in various drawers all over your kitchen so there is always a good paring knife at hand. If you are not superstitious about a gift of knives ("cuts" the friendship) then these make a really excellent gift for anyone.

We finally got a new set and we won't be making that mistake agian. I don't think there are very many other brands of knifes that compare to Kitchen Aid quality without being super, super expensive. This particular set is a little smaller than our old set but it works out because our new kitchen is smaller, so the proportions work.

Bought this set of knives a couple months ago but just recently started using them. It is a very attractive knife set & looks great on our countertop but one of the knives has already started rusting after a couple of hours in the sink which leaves me to believe that they are obviously not completely stainless. However the description does say to dry immediately after washing & they were very inexpensive, so of course they aren't top of the line or anything.

Although I miss my Pulltap and it's two-stage goodness, I cannot deny the awesomeness of the Boomerang. I'm a waiter, and cutting the foil with a second-rate blade was always difficult and embarrassing. The built-in foil cutter is so easy to use, and the bottle looks very professional and appealing sitting on the edge of a customer's table.One thing I should warn of: You will be unable to remove the foil all the way down below the protrusion of the glass lip. While this doesn't affect your ability to remove the cork, wine's flavor changes drastically when it reacts with certain types of metals present in some foil. So, remember to wipe the lip with each pour so that any drops of wine sitting on the foil never make it to the glass.This is a great improvement on the traditional cork screw with knife. I love the built in foil cutter that even the 'rabbit' and other fancier handle operated twin turbo cork screws are missing. It is faster and easier to open this way vs having multiple tools. I first saw one of these at a restaurant in France, so that has to make it a better tool. Found 1 in Aix en Provence at a wine store and used it for years until the handle broke (probably user error). Then I wanted another one, and this is made by the same manufacturer.
I would recommend this as a gift for any wine enthusiast as I prefer the simplicity of it vs the 4 handled gigantic robo-openers. Open the foil cutter spin and pull and then uncork. Safer than using a knife and cutting off a finger. You cannot lose the foil cutter either.
I have 3 of them. Enjoy the wine! :)

This corkscrew is fantastic. I have used a waiter's corkscrew for ages, but hate trying to cut wine capsules by blade. The boomerang is large for a waiter's corkscrew approximately half an inch longer than my old one, and about a centimeter wider. It works very well, but the lack of a double hinge is disappointing. Though outweighed by the brilliant retractable foil cutter, both of these flaws, along with the following point, make the corkscrew rate 4 stars instead of 5. The foil cutter unfortunately does not cut below the lip (see attached picture) but it is still wonderful. It makes a smooth, perfect cut in one easy motion. I would love to see a smaller, double-hinged version of this corkscrew, but until someone makes one I can't see myself using anything other than this.Want Black Boomerang Corkscrew with No Blade" Foil Cutter" Discount?
The ingenious sliding pivot point with two-step leverage works better than my other double-hinged openers. Apparently some of the other reviewers here never figured out how to use it. Slide the pivot toward the center of the opener for the first pull, then it returns to the outside to complete the job. It's now my favorite opener.BergHOFF 7-Piece Forged Knife Block Set
I just got these knives yesterday, so these are mainly my initial impressions. The packaging is not that great. I don't know if most knife sets come like this, but I was a little surprised. Everything was wrapped in cheap plastic and had some manufacturing residue on it. The block had bits of glue in random spots that had to be cleaned off. I cleaned the block and washed all the knives and everything looks good. There are a few hairline scratches on one or two knives, nothing major. On each knife, it says X30Cr14 which I believe has something to do with Chromium. It also says "D10", "Rostfrei", "BergHOFF", and gives the length. I can't tell where these knives are made. I looked all over the packaging to no avail. BergHOFF is a Belgian company so take that for what it's worth. I even looked on their website and there is no real info I could find.The knives are solid and heavy feeling. With the counter balance they are a pleasure to hold. You can hold the knife with one finger. Just put the finger on the bottom near the middle of the handle (right side up) and it will balance nicely. They come nice and sharp, but make sure you have a way to sharpen them since there is no steel. I'm not an expert on knives so I can't tell the difference, but these are forged, not stamped. Berghoff recommends that these be hand washed. I'll update this review with cutting performance and durability later.
Overall, these are some very nice knives, and I recommend them.As soon as I held the first knife I was so very impressed with the ergonomic and balanced handle. I just received them today and will use for the first time tonight ... will follow up on how they perform. From the feel and visual inspection, I anticipate an very good experience. Can't wait!
I consider myself a pretty accomplished cook and have used good quality level J.A. Henkels for years and also have a set of Miricale Knives(yuck!) that will go to charity. The Henkels have served their purpose, but they don't keep the edge and I can't stand to use serrated knives for every day prepping ~ I feel like I'm ripping or tearing whatever I'm cutting, instead of slicing through. And, the Henkels handles are not ergonomic ~ the BergHOFF fits like a glove.

Boker Australian Steak Knife
I wanted to replace an aging set of steak knives with worn handles with something better. I've never been partial to serrated-edge blades for cutting (actually, sawing and tearing) good steaks or meat, and I wanted steak knives with no-maintenance handles and good-quality steel that could be sharpened to a fine cutting edge.The Boker Australian Steak Knife met all my needs. I found the knife usably sharp right out of the box, though I touched mine up on a diamond hone. The Australian-style blade with the wide belly looks a little different to USA users, but you quickly appreciate its effectiveness. The blade length of 5" is just right. These knives work well on a variety of meats not just thick steaks.
Boker has these made of 440 steel at the Arbolito plant in Argentina. My set was well-finished, a full tang, close-fitting riveted handles, and no rough spots. The handles will never dry out or require special care. Try these and impress your guests.I love this knife and it's wicked sharp, the price was very good. I would buy another if I find it at the same low price but it's not available anymore at the online outlet where I first purchased it and is priced much higher elsewhere.

Hamilton Beach 76375 CleanCut Extra-Tall Can Opener, White
I like this can opener. It is a clean-lined, elegant looking, contemporary machine, that works well. It's tall, like me. I like the clean white color. The removable dishwasher-safe cutting assembly is a nice touch. I've had it for about 2 months now, and the only potential negative I have found so far, is that with some larger size (24 oz. and up) cans, it will tip over forward, due to lack of sufficient base weight. Thus the imperfect 4-star rating.It will still hold the 24 oz. size cans by itself, if I'm careful when hanging and when removing the can. It operates quietly and cuts cleanly. Again, I am very pleased so far, and recommend it, keeping the above information in mind.I actually purchased this can opener for my mother. She seems to be "can opener challenged", as far as getting openers to work correctly. Not only is she able to do it with ease, but the Hamilton Beach doesn't make a lound "grinding" sound like most other can openers. She said it's the best can opener she's owned. It was definately a smart purchase!

I actually bought a second one, not because the first broke but because I wanted it as a backup for when the first does break. I have seen others with removable heads and they do not compare to this Hamilton Beach, it is sturdy. I bought my first one at the manufacturers mall in Indiana, I believe it was Michigan City. It was the first electric can opener I ever owned and would not buy one before because I felt without a removable head it would just get very dirty and not clean up very good. That first one I bought February 27th, 2004 and it is still going strong. When I saw this on Amazon, I had to order the backup from Amazon.Want Hamilton Beach 76375 CleanCut Extra-Tall Can Opener, White Discount?
I purchased this because most reviews were positive, but I wish I'd paid attention to the negative ones. This product dropped almost every can, regardless of size. After less than 3 weeks, I am done with this and shopping for a new one.Hampton Forge Silversmiths Stella 17-Piece Flatware Set, Red

AMAZON PLEASE CHANGE THE DESCRIPTION.Messermeister Pro-Touch 6-Inch Orange Cheese and Tomato Knife
I had no idea how easy this knife would make slicing cheese...what a great product. Would recommend to any and all!My mother in law had one and I just had to get one. I absolutely love it! I picked up 2 more to give to my adult children for Christmas.It cuts through the tomato no matter how thin. I haven't used it on cheese yet but I'm sure I won't be disappointed!
I couldn't be more pleased.

Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender, Chopper, and Slicer, Black
I owned a Braun Multimix before this and after 8 + years it finally gave up so i purchased this one as i mainly needed an immersion blender.Immersion blender: even though the shaft is metal the parts inside are all plastic so within a year the the washer holding the shaft inside broke with casual use.
Chopper; this is even worse. it broke when i tried to chop onions. The other problem i had with this is that it takes a lot of figuing out how exatly to get the the top of the chopper to align with the base. just any position wont do and they have no arrows to tell you teh correct position.
Knife: i really dont use it for much apart from slicing bread.. as thats really all you can do with this. its super noisy. this is the only attachment that is still working.
Yes the motor is very powerful and works fine, but what to do with it when all the attachments broke apart? the oster site does not even have a replacement part for this model.
Save your money and buy something else.I thought this would be a great purchase! But, I used it 3 times, and then it just stopped working. I made deviled eggs once, beat 2 eggs once, and pureed cooked beans once. Worked great each time, but, the next time I tried to puree the cooked beans, it just didn't work. No odd noises, no nothing. I just pressed the button and nothing!

Just got this today. I like the fact that it comes apart for ease of cleaning. I made a "shake" with skim milk, 3 ice cubes, Splenda and raspberries. It doesn't make "whipped cream" but it will make a low calorie shake/snack. Be sure to follow mfgs. directions. Use it for 60 seconds, then let it rest for 3 minutes to avoid burning out the motor.Read Best Reviews of Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender, Chopper, and Slicer, Black Here
It's hard to close the chopper lid then chopper blade stucked on the second day. Just like other people complained, wish I listened. Returned defect product and got charge for 15% stock fee. Very unfair and horrible. Dont waste your money.Want Oster 2619 350-Watt 3-in-1 Hand Blender, Chopper, and Slicer, Black Discount?
I ordered this blender since I trusted the Oster brand products. But after receiving this I was very disappointed by the quality of the knife that came with it. It is not as sharp as it should be. The jar that came with this is also very small. I purchased Braun blender after returning this one and am very happy with that one. I wish Amazon carried that product because that one is really good.
