Mercer Cutlery Renaissance 3-1/2" Riveted Paring Knife

Mercer Cutlery Renaissance 3-1/2' Riveted Paring KnifeI was originally looking to purchase a Wustof, because I have a few of them, and love the quality. My friend is an Executive Head Chef in a Boston restaurant. He suggested I buy a Mercer instead, because the quality is that of Wustof, with a much lower price tag. He was right, I love this knife. It was a little lighter than I expected, but the quality is great. I highly recommend Mercer.

Furi Tech Edge Restorer Replacement

Furi Tech Edge Restorer ReplacementI saw it but did not believe the product actually worked. I was pleasantly surprised. I now have two of the Furi Tech products including the restorer.

Believe me they both work and work well. I am using old knives that I long ago thought could not be sharpened...they cut now like a razor. I would recommend purchasing the restorer for those knives that have long ago lost the angled edge and the diamond 'fingers' for keeping the edge on a regular basis. Wish I could find the replacement for the fine edge fingers.

Global G-9 - 8-3/4 inch, 22cm Bread Knife

Global G-9 - 8-3/4 inch, 22cm Bread KnifeMy 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.

Buy this knife if for no other reason than it makes minimal crumbs when slicing baked products, less mess to clean. Also does an excellent job chopping chocolate.

Read Best Reviews of Global G-9 - 8-3/4 inch, 22cm Bread Knife Here

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.

Want Global G-9 - 8-3/4 inch, 22cm Bread Knife Discount?

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.

Ginsu 5217 Koden Series Stainless Steel Open Stock 4-Piece Steak Knife Set

Ginsu 5217 Koden Series Stainless Steel Open Stock 4-Piece Steak Knife SetI've had several steak knife sets over the years with the typical boring black plastic handles that look cheap at the table setting before sitting down to dinner, so I wanted something nice for a change and these really fit the bill. I didn't want to spend a fortune either so when I saw these for under $15 locally last year I couldn't believe it and bought them on the spot. The handles are very smooth, sized well and really nice looking on the table, plus they cut amazingly smoothly with the dual serrated edge unlike the sawing edge most steak knives in this price range have. Guests always comment on how nice they slice and look so I'm very pleased with them. They are not dishwasher safe because of the high carbon steel used which keeps them so sharp plus firm, not flimsy as some steak knives are which is a good thing since hand washing and towel drying is normal for any quality cutlery, even this inexpensive and there is not a single spot of rust on any of them. Its great to have quality and value at the same time and with proper care these will keep on going for many many years to come.

The manufacturer sent me these knives as a replacement for the "Ginsu Essential Series 4-Piece 4.5-Inch Stainless Steel Steak Knife Set with Triple Riveted Polymer Handles 4805" which developed rust spots not long after several uses... And lo and behold, these knives developed rust spots as well.

I've sent back these knives and the replacement set also rusted... It got to a point where the manufacturer didn't even want me to send the bad knives back, so now I have 16 of these awful knives tucked away in my cupboard.

Maybe I can unload these knives on a passing circus or carnival.

Ateco Bench Scrapers

Ateco Bench Scraper with Plastic HandleOnce you've had a bench scraper, you'd never cook without one. This one really is worth the money, including shipping. Whether loading cut veggies into a pan, cleaning a cutting board or countertop off, or working with pizza and pastry dough, this tool will be in you hand almost as much as a sharp knife.

I've had cheaper scrapers. The grade and gauge of this steel makes it feel good in your hand, just like a quality knife would.

This bench scraper works fairly well. Think I would have liked it better without the hand hole, it would have had a bigger pick up space.

Buy Ateco Bench Scrapers Now

When I bought the Ateco Bench Scraper with Plastic Handle I already owned and seldom used the OXO Good Grips Multi-Purpose Pastry Scraper/Chopper . I was looking for a bench scraper that would help me smooth icing on the sides of cakes. I felt the OXO was too bulky for that purpose. I love Ateco products. They are aimed at the professional as well as the homemaker. So when I came across the Ateco Bench Scraper I decided to try it. The price was very reasonable. I'm very glad I ordered this product. The plastic handle is about half the width of the OXO. The Ateco handle is textured. This helps make it slip-resistant when wet. The OXO handle feels like hard rubber. They both have stainless steel blades but the Ateco is much more shiny. The OXO blade is dulled like a satin finish. The Ateco blade is 5 7/8" x 3" which makes it a little smaller than the OXO's 6" x 3 1/8" size. The blades on both brands seem very sharp. The OXO has inch markings on the bottom of the blade, like a ruler. The Ateco does not have this feature. I prefer the Ateco. The slimmer handle makes it less bulky to use. I feel the Ateco would be better for icing cakes because I want something that will act more like an extension of my hand. Both are dishwasher safe. I usually cut stick butter still in the wrapper. For me, this is not an easy task with the OXO. The OXO merely pushed the wrapper down pushing the butter apart until it finally cut through the paper. The Ateco sliced right through the wrapper and hard butter. I hardly ever used the OXO but since I received the Ateco, I have been using it every chance I get.

Gourmet Settings Silver Tear Stainless Steel Cocktail Forks set of 4.

Gourmet Settings Silver Tear Stainless Steel Cocktail Forks set of 4.Although these are cocktail forks, I am a recent gastric bypass patient. Using these forks are helpful in taking

small bites which are necessary in the recovery process. They are highly durable and wash great in the dishwasher.

They will fit in a toothbrush holder so you can take to restaurants or for a brown bag lunch.

These cocktail forks are wonderful. I ordered them for a small party I was hosting and they were just perfect for the appetizers I served. They look pretty and they are comfortable in the hand, considering that they are small. The forks are also easy to wash and care for. I was quite pleased with this product.

The Knork 4 - Pc. Set

The Knork 4 - Pc. SetMy husband has used a knork for years. His hands sometimes shake and it gives him more stability. It also aids in cutting meat and cutting into salads. It is excellent quality and I put it in the dishwasher.

If someone you know has difficulty using a fork in one hand & a knife in the other, this is a great solution. The knork cuts extremely well, because the side is angled well to be a suitable cutting edge.

Have no fear-place this easily in your mouth without cutting your tongue or anything else.

Yes, the handle is heavier, but that is probably because the knork is designed with a good application of physics. The unique shape of the edge plus the weight of the handle allows one to cut through any thickness if you have a good strong eating hand.

Use the knork properly-place it on the object (like a thick steak) & rock back & forth. Patience is advised-but then it is recommended to eat more slowlyit's healthy!

Enjoy your steak in a restaurant -you are no longer restricted to soft mushy foods. Be independent-no one has to cut your steak in public anymore!

I was very interested in getting a knork to try, because I have rheumatoid arthritis that severely affects my hands. I wound up getting mine from Bed Bath and Beyond, and we bought a set of 4 satin-finish forks.

These are terrific. The weight of them makes them fit my hand very well. I can cut things like gyros meat, chicken liver and sausage easily without having to use a knife. The curve of the tines also helps pick things up a little easier.

This is a great tool for certain kinds of disability. The satin finish looks fine. I'm so pleased with this item.

I love these forks. They are so much better than I expected. I eat with a plate of food in the living room and cutting food while holding the plate was so nice. Last night we had enchiladas and they cut like butter with these forks. Heavier weight than expected but perfectly balanced and easy to hold. Well designed!!

I recently purchased several sets of the Knork flatware and an extra set of the Knorks. I loved them as soon as I took them out of the box. They are very elegant and they actually do work! I purchased the duo finish and it is beautiful. They have the look and feel of very expensive flatware, yet they are surprisingly affordable. Even if you have no interest in the cutting feature, they just have such a nice feel to them.

I highly recommend Knork!

Reed & Barton Birch Hall 91 Piece 18/10 Stainless Flatware Set Service for 12We decided we needed 'our' flatware after 13 years of his and hers!

R+B EveryDay Daria 45 Piece 18/0 Stainless Steel Set, Service for 8

R+B EveryDay Daria 45 Piece 18/0 Stainless Steel Set, Service for 8This is the perfect silverware set. I looked at several different sets and this one won out. It has slender but balanced handles so 2 sets fit nicely in my silverware drawer.

This is the first one star review I've written. I was so excited to buy new flatware. Reed and Barton is a well known brand. We still have the hammered antique 18/8 from 20 years ago when we got married and I still love it so I thought I could trust the brand. I wanted an every day set and thought this was nice and the price was great. I didn't expect the quality of the more expensive end of the line and I don't have a problem with the lighter weight. Opening the box I thought that the tines of the forks looked pretty delicate but that didn't bother me so much. I washed them all at once before using them and as I gathered a small bunch to rinse, I got a fairly deep slash on my finger! It was not from the knife so it could only be from a fork. Examining the forks more closely (and I did not check each fork but checked a bunch) I ran my fingers along the tines at different angles and found they have a sharp edge that can catch skin. What? A fork that you put in your mouth that has parts that cut? That is unacceptable by any standards. I was so looking forward to having this set but this flaw is too disappointing. Of course I can not recommend this line. In fact, unfortunately, the opposite. I recommend that you look for something else.

Edit: I want to note that I wrote Reed and Barton and their response was very fast and helpful. I'll edit this review when safe forks replace the cutting forks.

Edit 2: The company could not replace the forks and I was asked to pick a new pattern. I chose to upgrade to a heavier pattern and we love it. Kudos to Reed and Barton for standing behind their product. I still give this set a low rating but R & B gets five stars.

Shun Carving Fork

Shun Carving ForkWould I have purchased this if I didn't own other Shuns? No. Is it worth the additional investment? Yes. I've had three previous carving forks. The only one that has survived is my All-Clad.

You can really tell the difference in craftsmanship. This fork has a substantial weight. As with all Shun's, the design is simple, yet beautiful. It feels good in the hand. The handle does not have the famous D-shape.

Use this fork to make a beautiful impression.

A beautifuly crafted item and awesome to use. Hope they always keep to high standards.

Universal Housewares Small Cast Iron Meat Chopper

Universal Housewares Small Cast Iron Meat ChopperI tried this out for the first time this morning. It does an excellent job, but there is a slight metallic taste to the food that I hope goes away after it's used more. Basically, it isn't as handy as a Cuisineart food processor, but it is a good alternative for the price. It is more complicated to cleanlots of parts to correctly reassemble laterbut not so much so that you can't get it right if you think about what you are doing.

it does the job but upon first opening i had a small chunk of the blade flake off xD ? not a good sign of things to come but so far it works i guess.

Our son wanted something to use for both deer meat and regular meat so they could make their own hamburger. We looked several over and took our time, but for his needs we picked this one from many others that we could have purchased. He will not be doing enough for us to invest in an electric one but this one seemed powerful enough for him to do everything he wants to do.

Totally Bamboo 3-Piece Set Bamboo Flatware, Fork, Knife and Spoon

Totally Bamboo 3-Piece Set Bamboo Flatware, Fork, Knife and SpoonThis flatware is _TOTALLY_ bamboo, and totally flat. Some reviewers rated this one star because there must have been a wrong picture before. The picture must have been fixed because I got exactly what was shown, flatware made out of bamboo only.

I think this is very good quality flatware, it has a kind of burnished finish so it repells liquids. I used the spoon to eat soup and it works great without soaking up the soup. One thing to note is that this is really flat, so the spoon isn't ideal for eating soup but it works for me.

For me, one advantage of using the bamboo instead of metal is it won't ever scratch your plates, and the spoon and fork will never scratch your teeth. I also like that they are so light weight.

The only qualm I have is that the knife serrations are not very good. The purpose of serrations is to decrease the apparent angle of the blade next to the teeth (making it sharper), while still maintaining durability. The serrations on the knives don't even have an edge at all between the teeth! They are not terribly effective at slicing anything, and must be used more like a rip saw, leaving lots of crumbs. Also, due to the weird serrations, food gets stuck between the teeth and is really hard to get out.

Overall, these aren't 100% perfect, but they are very good. I'm docking a star for the poor knife serrations and because it makes the knife blades so hard to clean. 4 stars

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The utensils are constructed entirely of bamboo and are very durable. I used the knife to cut through a sandwich with no problems. The utensils are naturally antibacterial and were not treated with any harmful finishes. I put them in my bag and bring them everywhere to use instead of disposable utensils. In fact, I took them to Disneyland last week and they worked out great for me and my family.

Well proportioned bamboo utensils are not only attractive, but also useful, and quite washable. I was impressed that the knife was so sharp.

Plus they're perfect for the Green Movement.

Love this product...cheap...and just what I wanted. I bought the set to use on my non-stick camping cookware. I only use the spoon, and I had to cut it down about an inch so that it could nest inside the cookware...but the spoon is flat enough to do double duty as a spatula, and still deep enough to eat soup. The set is lightweight...renewable...resistant to microbial growth...and does not scratch the coating on my cookware...who could ask more for the 3.00 I spent?
