My husband asked for this as a gift. I chose the cherry colored wood for him. It's so pretty, I feel bad about getting it dirty! But I quickly took it over and added it to my collection. :) Very nice weight to it. It is much easier cutting things than it was with my Chicago Cutlery set.
Candy apple red is right! These knives caught my eye because of the awesome color of the handles and of course I had to have them. I'm thinking "they're knives... they have a handle and a stainless steel blade, what else do I need in a knife?" Clearly I'm no 4-star chef and my previous set of knives was a cheap Farberware set of serrated knives that I had owned for twenty years. I wish this set had a 7" Santoku instead of the included 4" version but no big deal, I purchased the 7" separately.

As a daily lunch carrier, having a cover for a pairing knife is key if you want to cut up fresh fruit and veggies and not worry about the knife cutting through your lunch box. I have placed these in the dishwasher (w/out heat dry) and have been very pleased.

Nice little knife guard, nothing fancy. Appears durable, fits snuggley over knife blade. Simple solution so I don't cut myself when reaching into the drawer.Read Best Reviews of Messermeister 3" Garnishing Edge-Guard Here
I purchased a variety of sizes of these guards to protect blade edges, fingers, and my knife roll. They work as advertised, fitting snugly on even thin blades. Perhaps a bit difficult to put on, but this seems consistent with the secure fit once attached. Sizes from paring to large chef's work the same.
Well made. Worth every penny. Quality kitchen tools made to fit little ones hands. My 5 year old nephew is so excited to be able to help in the kitchen.

Short thin blades that become razor sharp on ceramic honing sticks with just 5 or 6 strokes. The handles could be a little thicker.

This is for sushi/sashimi, not steak as described by some!!!!!!
We've always wanted a set of Wusthof Classic Ikon knives. We loved this set and decided this was the time. We're a normal family who uses our knives on a daily basis, but I would consider us cooking novices...certainly not cooking experts. With that said, these knives are truly a work of art. They're beautiful and amazingly sharp.
Spending almost a month doing research on Amazon's wide selection of kitchen cutlery, I'm so glad I ignored the previous 3 star review on this knife and bought it on a hunch. I think this is AWESOME value for such a great knife. Out of the box, it showed no mercy prepping onions, garlic cloves, mushrooms, carrots and celery with buttery precision. Also, I really love the taper design of these Asian petty knives as it allows me to speed up at the tip for smaller veggies. I think this knife actually looks better in person than the picture as the blade's almost chrome-like finish mingled with the damascus swirls is a testament to the fine finishing craftsmanship of the blade. If you need a small prep knife, THIS IS IT!

BUYER BEWARE! These are being offered at a low price because they are actually 18/0 stainless steel, not 18/8 as Amazon specs incorrectly state.

I ordered this set because Amazon specs say it's 18/8 steel. However, when I received it, the box says 18/0 which is much lower quality. The pieces look really nice, and I wonder if maybe the box is wrong. Can't know so I'm sending it back.I received this set and returned it within a month. It started rusting. I finally went to the Silver Superstore on line. They have a line of flatware that is made in the USA. Unfortunately, after Oneida closed their USA plant, it has become harder to find flatware that isn't made in China, Vietnam or Indonesia. Check out silversuperstore.com. They have a whole section of "not made in China" flatware.Want Oneida Colonial Boston 45-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set, Service for 8 Discount?
This flatware set is the same pattern I have had in the past. I was given some when I went away to college and they were great. The set I have were stamped S.S.S made in USA by Oneida and were virtually care free, just use em throw em in the dishwasher and rinse and repeat. Normally I don't take time to review, but this set is so bad I just have to warn anyone looking at this item. This set I bought from amazon is absolute garbage, they were terrible from the moment I took them out of the box. They were clearly very poorly made. First of all the box says they are 18/0 steel which is not what I ordered, the utensils themselves say 5/10 made in Indonesia and the website here said 18/10...very confusing. So I looked it up, Oneida's website classes them as casual flatware, which is listed as 18/0. The pieces themselves looked like they had been quickly polished, or dipped in some kind of plating that was not on the handles. The handles look more like brushed steel, and there were definitely a difference between the handles and the business end. Also, the handles were rough and sharp on some sides, and smooth on others with no consistency at all. They were also covered in spots with a black soot that might have been from the forging but did not come out with washing. I should have sent them back but I'm new to amazon and don't have a lot of time and I did not wan to mess with it for 50$. So I kept them...and things got worse.
You get what you pay for so don't expect gourmet cook ware.However for the money this set is pretty good.The bottoms have a decent layer of metal.They clean up very easily.I had planned to give this set away.I wound up with them and find myself reaching for them often.Even though I have some better cook ware.As I said these do clean up easily.
I am enjoying using this caldera, I love the color and the non-stick surface! I also like the fact that the lid has a small steam release in it, so that I don't have to leave the lid at an angle to release steam. My only complaints were 1; it would be easier to use if there was a handle with a protective grabbing surface. I am constantly stirring my ingredients and saute' items in this pot before adding more, it's a pain to have to use a pot holder with this. That was no surprise, though, the item's photo clearly shows that the handles are uncovered and small. The surprise that I *did* get was the label. It took me hours to remove it! Even with oil based remover I had to treat it, then tear off a small piece, then treat it then tear off a small piece. It was a sticky/laminated mess! A simple paper label would have been much easier to remove (or a gummy-backed inside-the-pot paper with information on it). A silly complaint, in some ways, but a big time-waster to me.
Over all, I'm happy but not thrilled with these knives. They are reasonably sharp, but not super sharp. The color looks like the photo online, which is good, since I love that color. These knives are slightly smaller than I would like if these knives were slightly longer, I would like them more. My main complaint however is that the blade covers do not fit snuggly nor consistently. The covers fit adequately on two of the three knives (not snug, but adequate), but the cover is very loose on the other one. It is so loose that if I pick the knife up out of the drawer, the cover will fall off of its own accord. Not a great safety feature in my opinion. I thought I would use these knives more often for slicing fruit and vegetables, but I wind up using my large Oneida knife 90% of the time, even for smaller jobs like fruit. That is probably because the Oneida knife is sharper and also because, if the fruit or veggie does wiggle a little bit, the knife is still long enough to do the job. In the future, I will probably pay a little more for one knife that is the same size or slightly larger than the largest knife in this set, rather than rely on this set of knives.

I guess I was expecting too much from an inexpensive knife set. These really disappointed me. One of the three knives actually felt sharp, the other two were dull feeling right out of the package. They feel cheap. The color is nice, but I think I actually would have preferred if the blade had been a different color than the handle.Want Fagor Michelle B. 3-Piece Prep Cutlery Set Discount?
I was looking for a few sheathed prep knives that had a non-stick resin coating on the blades. I also didn't want to pay Kuhn Rikon prices. I am a fan of Michelle Bernstein, and have found Fagor to make quality utensils and cookware, so I thought I would give these a try. The quality was good for the price. The handles were light but comfortable, and felt as though they had some kind of non-slip coating, though I could be wrong about that. I especially liked the santoku. However, I returned the set because the utility knife was only partially serrated. I had plannned to use it to cut breads, so this was a big flaw.
An Exceptional product. People thought the knives were real and was really surprised when they picked them up and saw that they were plastic and looked so real. A great product will definitely use again.
Buy Plastic Silver SPOONS China Like Baroque 20ct Now
I had purchased 100 spoons, also 100 each of the knives and forks. At first I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and the look of them, they looked like real silver! I am using these for my backyard wedding and was super excited to see these as an option. Once I began rolling these up into bundles with napkins individually, I was able to see each one. The forks and knives are all great! The spoons however, have many black splotches on them where there is no silver, not that it had flaked off, but it was smooth, like it came from the manufacturer that way. Also, I had noticed that several packages in the shipping box were opened. I thought maybe they came undone during shipping. When I was finished, I was missing one spoon! I had ordered exactly 100 and only got 99 spoons! I looked in the box, nowhere to be found. I am disappointed with the care the shipper gave these. Won't order them again.Read Best Reviews of Plastic Silver SPOONS China Like Baroque 20ct Here

These knives are a complement to anyones collection of nice knives. They cut through steak like it is butter. The blade is thinner than I was expecting but that is only because I am used to the "Classic" and "Ikon" heavier knives for kitchen use. The Rosewood handles are beautiful and feel good in your hand.
I am a line cook and have this bag for 3 months. I carry this bag to work w/ me everyday. And unfortunately..... First off its already falling apart. Seams are coming undone, things you would understand are normal wear and tear but you'd also expect it to last more than three months. Secondly; I've noticed this comment made, it doesn't come w/ a strap. Funny thing is it has a ring on each end of the bag for a strap to connect to? Third the quality isn't strong enough to withstand knives that are in fact sharp. The material itself is to fragile to place sharp knives into w/o having blade savers or a soft cover, which will dull the blade anyways.

Does not come with a strap, altho that was known before purchasing. What was not known, however, was that the stitching on the piece of nylon that holds the strap D-ring in place would come undone after a whopping two very mild uses. Not into the idea of refurbishing or repairing an item that's got all of 2 hours of use on it.
A very sharp knife, very good to cut meat(boneless) and chop vegetables. BUT: I chopped my first onion and the blade stained, and I do not think that even a blow torch will not remove stain. Handle way too small for large hands making it a bit unstable.

I had never heard of Bamboo Cutting Boards and was impressed by the pictures and advertisements posted on Amazon.com. In addition, in person the wood grain and various interlaying colors of this item are truly beautiful. However, I was very disappointed in the quality of the craftsmanship. Some of the various seams between the wooden pieces in the cutting board had large open gaps while others exposed wood glue that had leaked out and dried. It also appeared as though during manufacturing some gaps in the wood were filled with glue or sealant, creating an unsightly blemish on the item. Even more noticeable were 1/2-inch areas located in various spots around both sides of the cutting block that appeared to be rough or un-sanded/unfinished exposed wood. I do not recommend purchasing this item through the internet.
The design is great, especially with the flip-up expandability. The dishes stand up perfectly in the rack, and we like the utensil holder. At first we didn't think too much of the knife-block cover, but it actually works very well to help the knives dry faster (and more safely). I would have given a five-star rating, except for the poor quality control. One of the hinges for the flip-up section was bent, hindering the movement of the shelf. A plastic cover had to be removed to bend it back into shape. The nice part of having to do this was that I got to test the quality of the welds. I've seen too many spot-welds break when adjacent pieces had to be bent, but the welds on this unit are very high quality. The other negative was that the wine glass hanger (which we don't use anyway) is unusable because poor alignment when the plastic holder was molded onto the stainless wire. Again, a very nice design, but manufacturing quality is pretty bad.

Although the most expensive dish rack I have purchased, well worth the price. Had I purchased this 2 years ago, overall I would have saved money as I have thrown away so many inferior racks (mold and rust after very little time). Plenty of space available. The flip up shelf is great. A huge plus is the knife block. The ability to change the direction has opened up counter space. Because of the orientation we only use 2 of the cup "prongs". The only con is that it doesn't always drain without a little manipulation, but I think it has more to do with my counter not being level than the construction and design of the dish rack.
