Messermeister San Moritz Elite 9-Inch Left-Handed Bread Knife

Messermeister San Moritz Elite 9-Inch Left-Handed Bread KnifeThis is the first time that I have had a left-handed knife in my life and I am "over-60". I love it. What a difference it makes in cutting my crusty homemade bread. I will most likely order other left-handed knives.

My friend is left handed and could never cut bread straight. Then she realized knives are often handed and bread knives always are. She'd been trying to cut bread with a right handed knife all those years. I got her this for her birthday and she couldn't be happier with all those even slices of bread.

Norpro 607 Extra Wide Plastic Funnel, Green

Norpro 607 Extra Wide Plastic Funnel, GreenI was looking for a funnel that had a wide mouth and wasn't made of rubber (like the OXO ones in the stores are), that i could use to mix baby formula in bulk! This fit right into the opening of a Rubbermaid 2qt jug so making 20+oz of formula at one time now doesn't take an eternity.

This funnel works just like it should! Works for anything you want to put into canning jars fruits, vegetables, stews, salsa... the list goes on!

Kyocera Ceramic Santoku Knife-Pink - 5.5 Inch

Kyocera Ceramic Santoku Knife-Pink - 5.5 InchI bought this knife for my wife, and even though it is increably sharp. I'm afraid that I may inadvertently break the blade by putting any side pressure on it. It hasn't done anything to make me suspect it might break, it just lingers in the back of my mind. That being said, it's easy to clean, can slice anything so thin you can see through it. I'm very pleased, just have to get past the thought of breakage.

I have had knives which dull over time or are very heavy. This knife is so light and chops so well. Everytime someone comes over and uses it, they comment on how great of a knife it is. I want to buy another one because I use it that much. Ceramic is the way to go!

I have had this knife for a long while...at least 4 years.....and it has worked beautifully for me. It has become the "go to" knife, meaning I pull it out of the rack most often for different type of food jobs. It is easy to clean and stays sharp. Just had many staying for Christmas and found the tip chipped. So I'll buy another soon.

I am in love with these knives. They cut just about everything, they stay sharp, and are easy to clean. Unfortunately, if you aren't careful, they can break. My husband broke my first one in the garbage disposal and I recently broke my second one trying to pry apart two frozen hamburger patties. :( I almost cried, i'm that sad about loosing another one of these knives. I still recommend them highly am currently buying myself another one. I more than got my moneys' worth out of them. I don't use any other knife (even the henckels and wustoff knives i own).

Want Kyocera Ceramic Santoku Knife-Pink - 5.5 Inch Discount?

Okay I admit it, I am a knife junky. I love knives. I can't resist the various blade thicknesses and the chime of the metal or the single molded steel. This knife manufacturer really did an outstanding job of making a lightweight knife that can cut through almost anything. It comes in an array of gorgeous colors and in the years I have had them (yes I have a few of them) I have never had to sharpen one. Pretty impressive since I own Henckels and have worn them out by sharpening. So go ahead, make that persons day and buy them a special color for a special occasion. They will remember and love you forever. I promise. Enjoy and Mangia Bene

Wolfgang Puck 15 Piece Professional Quality Cutlery Set

Wolfgang Puck 15 Piece Professional Quality Cutlery SetThis knife set is, by far, the best set I have used to date. They rival Viking, Trizor and Wusthof-Trident knives. Proper sharpening is key and do not place them in the dishwasher! The heat will damage the handles.

I have a very similar set of knifes to these (with less pieces, but same knifes). I just want to comment on some of the reviews I read so far.

1. These are high carbon steel knifes! They are not stainless steel! Meaning they will rust if you let water sit on them for a while. High carbon steel is much harder than stainless steel, but at the cost of being prone to rust. So if you simply cannot keep you knifes dry after each use, then do not buy high carbon steel knifes, because they will all rust(even the expensive ones)! Don't blame wolfgang puck, because i am sure the instruction booklet mentioned not using the dish washer with these sets(mine did), and too keep them as dry as possible!

2. Someone also mentioned that these knifes are not sharp. I don't quite understand that at all. These knifes were plenty sharp for me. I manage to cut myself easily on one, when I was cleaning it. They cut trough everything I throw at them. Now granted, I have never purchase a set of really expensive knifes, and maybe I just don't know how sharp expensive "sharp" knifes are, but these were wayyyy sharper than the cheap knifes I replaced them with.

3. Someone mentioned that they broke many blades in a short period of time, really? Because the chef knife blade is about 3 mm thick at the base, and I just don't see how you can break the blade under normal use. Maybe if you were using these as utility knifes in a work shop and you took a hammer to the back to pound them into something really hard, I can see it breaking. But even then it would be difficult, the blade is really thick, wayyyy thicker than most stamped knifes! Just go measure out 3 mm and you will see what i mean.

Yes, if you were to compare these to knifes that are few hundred dollars, well these are not as good, but at the price i paid for them, I am very happy with them.

These knives are well made. They are very nicely finished and weighted. The knife block is well finished as well. My only complaints are the shears are only useful for cutting meat or poultry (I like to use kitchen shears for opening packages, too) and the blades are not as hard as a high end knife, so they don't hold an edge as long. This is eaily remedied with a knife sharpener. With a few passes of my $11 AccuSharp knife sharpener they are as sharp as any Henckel. All in all, they are a great value at any price below $60.

I bought these knives for my brother and sister in law and they loved them. I visted them and used them myself I liked them so much that I bought a set. A friend recently visited me and used my set and he loved them too now he's going to buy a set! Compared to other knife sets out there these are a fair price and I have been very happy with them. I use them all the time.

Thanks for the suggestion of the Accusharp knife sharpener; while I use the steel on my knives I'm not the greatest pro with it.

Also, folks, keep your knives out of the dishwasher and out of the sink that will keep them sharp and usable for many, many years.

I purchased these knives as a gift for myself, and I am very pleased! These knives are great for every cooking need! I have two set of knives in the kitchen and I will not even look at the other set. I followed the directions and clean them after every use and do not put them in the dishwasher. If some did not follow the instructions that may explain the problems that they encountered.

Classic Nonstick Paring Knife

Classic Nonstick Paring KnifeThis is the best knife I've ever had it beats Gerber, Fiskars, and Chicago Cutlery! It slicks right through everything I've used it on so far. It's large enough to cut bigger fruits and veggies but still small enough to easily peel potatoes. Love it!!!

Wusthof Classic Bread Board Set

Wusthof Classic Bread Board SetI bake bread a few times a week, and finally decided to upgrade to this bread knife. All I can say is WOW. It slices through crusty loaves effortlessly. The board is a good addition for presenting bread and charcuterie/antipasto. Never thought I would spend so much on a bread knife, and even after I saw this set on sale for cheaper in a store, I'm still glad I bought this.

As others pointed out, for some reason it's less expensive to buy this combo than the knife by itself. We wanted a bread knife, but could not warrant paying the price to add to our JA Henckel Pro S collection. This knife looks almost identical to the Pro S knives, was sharp and appears very well made. It is not as heavy as a Henckel, but it is well balanced and will be everything we wanted for a rarely-used (in our house) bread knife. We didn't even card about the little cutting board that comes with it, but it will be handy for light use with french bread or cheese.

I have this knife as part of a set of Wustof Classic knives and they are fantastic. I got this one for my Mom on Mother's day and Amazon shipped it out quick. For some reason this particular packaging is cheaper than buying the knife on it's own from other vendors.... Great bread knife.

The bread knife worked really great, it sliced through the thick crust of the cranberry walnut whole wheat loaf without any effort! The weight of the knife is just right too. It came in with a bread board, however it didn't match what was shown in the picture.

Wusthof Classic Ikon 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Black

Wusthof Classic Ikon 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, BlackWe'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.

We decided to also purchase the 5" serrated knife and the 4" santoku separately to round out the set. Best thing we've done. This is a great set of knives and a set we plan to own for the rest of our lives.

Messermeister Mu Fusion 8-Inch Chef's Knife

Messermeister Mu Fusion 8-Inch Chef's KnifeI bought one of these on clearance but based on my initial reaction to having it in my hands and using it to prep food I'd be inclined to pay the full MSRP. I have used a number of chef's knives and santokus over the years but I have never felt another knife to be so perfectly balanced in my hands. The handle is symmetrical and oval in section, great for a lefty like me unlike some Japanese knives, the handle is not overly large yet sill generously sized for my smallish hands and though it is rather smooth it is never slick feeling, even when wet, and the taper gives it a feeling of security with a variety of grips. The centre of balance is right at the pinch point just ahead of the bolster making a wide range of knife techniques feel natural and easy. Out of the box the thin blade is super sharp and though time will tell how well this knife holds an edge and how easy it will be to resharpen, so far so good, I've yet to notice any degradation in cutting performance, it still effortlessly cuts through cabbage or tough carrots which it easily turns into a fine julienne. The blade itself is beautifully tapered from just under 3mm on the spine just ahead of the bolster to a very acute edge and tip so it produces very little wedging whilst still being rigid and substantial. And it is simply gorgeous to look at and to hold and to use. Recommended.

I use this knife in an extremely busy professional kitchen. Let me start by saying the weight, balance, and feel of the knife are all spectacular. It feels as if you can do anything with this knife. I frequently use it to butcher, cut and trim fish/meat and I never have any issues. It makes cutting vegetables fun. In the 6 months I have owned it, I have run it over a wet stone 3 times and used a steel daily to maintain an unbelievably sharp edge. This knife will cut paper effortlessly and I wouldn't doubt if you could shave with it...yes it can be that sharp if maintained correctly! I absolutely recommend it, and all the other chefs i work with ask me to use it when they have a task their knives just wont handle.

Global GF-32 - 6 1/4 inch, 16cm Heavyweight Chef's Knife

Global GF-32 - 6 1/4 inch, 16cm Heavyweight Chef's KnifeA great utility knife. Heavier at handle end than it looks. Thin blade can be easily damage if not use correctly. But still great knife with excellent finished.

I purchased this knife on 7/27 and contacted Global on 9/10 regarding a chip in the blade. I used it as a lite duty knife I can take to different restaurants and use on a salad line for chopping vegetables on the fly. I used it very seldom only on softer vegetables for one month and noticed a chip in the blade. It was out of the return period for Amazon which was fine because I really only wanted the blade fixed by Global (not an unreasonable request). I was told by Global that this wasn't under warranty and had nothing to do with the metal. Really the blade has nothing to do with the quality of the metal?

I have been a long time customer of Global. I have never had any problems with my other knifes from them 10" chef, 10" serrated, Veg, etc. for ten years. The fact that a company can't guarantee it's product for 45 days is absurd, I wasn't asking for a refund or something better, just fix the product. If you are going to invest $135 on one knife, I suggest you buy from a company that will at least fix a chip out of the blade and realize the value of a long time customer.

Update: So after talking with some chef friends. I have been told that shun is the way to go. One guy left his knife at his restaurant, line cook dropped it, breaking off tip, went to shun said hey is it fixable, they offered new knife at no cost!!! So I'm switching to SHUN!

A Di Alessi "Knifeforkspoon" 75-Piece Set, Includes Twelve Table Knives Monoblock and Twelve Desser

A Di Alessi 'Knifeforkspoon' 75-Piece Set, Includes Twelve Table Knives Monoblock and Twelve Dessert Knives Monoblock, Mirror PolishI just bought a set of mirror finish knifeforkspoon flatware, designed by Jasper Morrison for Italian housewares manufacturer Alessi, and I'm really glad I bought the set with the monobloc knives. Monobloc knives are less expensive in general because they're made of a single piece of stainless steel, as opposed to knives with thicker handles that are made separately, then into which a separate blade is set. This is done for two reasons: presumably nicer feel in the hand, and in some cases, a better, sharper, blade is attached separately.

The knifeforkspoon monobloc knife looks better and feels better in your hand. It's more of a piece with the other forks and spoons in the line. I bought one placesetting earlier to see if I liked it, and I did, except for the thick regular knife handle that just never balanced in my right hand with whichever piece was in my left.

A single regular knife in this series costs $20. The monobloc costs $11. In a set this size, the difference in cost is around $300.

Jasper Morrison designed this as a nice everyday set of flatware that you can also use in a more elegant setting. I use Metlox Colorstax as my everyday dishes, and have a set of Thomas O'Brien's Tiago Blue, a glossy navy porcelain with double concentric platinum rings. knifeforkspoon goes with each set of dinnerware very nicely. Next I'm going to get some of Ellen Chilewich's placemats and napkins.

This would make a terrific present for the modern lover in your life.

Core Bamboo 10488AM Amazon Exclusive Bamboo Cutting Board Set, 3-Piece

Core Bamboo 10488AM Amazon Exclusive Bamboo Cutting Board Set, 3-PieceI have always preferred bamboo cutting boards to their plastic counterpart... they do not dull my knives, and are frankly nicer to look at than stained plastic cutting boards.

The only issue I have found when purchasing bamboo cutting boards is that they can be pricey to get a substantial thickness... if the price is inexpensive, the board is probably paper-thin.

I decided to take a gamble and try this three-pack of bamboo cutting boards. I have seen others available on the site at or near the same price-point, but I loved the rounded edges of these boards, and their story of ethical responsibility to the environment and the people who craft them. I was very skeptical about how quality they could actually be because the price was so cheap!

I must say, when these arrived in the mail I was taken-aback by how much heavier the package was compared to what I was expecting; each board was substantially thicker than I expected.

These boards are extremely handsome and worthy of counter-top display if you are tight on drawer space, the corner hole for holding the board doubles nicely as a hole to hang the board up and out of the way too.

I am very pleased with my purchase and will definitely purchase Core Bamboo products again. I have started looking into other products they make and this 'spun' and 'crushed' bamboo line of kitchen products look beautiful. Quite honestly, I also really like having something unique that all my friends do not have!

When I purchased this set of bamboo cutting boards, I was primarily motivated by the price. When they came 2 days later, I couldn't believe how happy I was. I have purchased Core Bamboo products in the past and love them all but this deal is simply the best yet. This set would easily be worth more than double the price Amazon is charging for it.

The quality of the boards is just as good as you would expect of Core Bamboo. They are thick enough to handle being used but thin enough to easily store them when not in use.

The 3 sizes in the set are perfect for just about anything you want to cut and prep. I use the 8 x 6 for cutting apples or prepping cocktails. I use the 11 x 8.5 for cutting veggies and preparing sandwiches and the 13 x 9.5 for carving meats and poultry. I wash them with warm water and soap and they are holding up beautifully! I have owned bamboo cutting boards in the past from other companies and this set is by far the most superior of them all.

Regarding portability, they are the perfect thickness, making them extremely easy to store, whether you live in a big house, small apartment or college dorm.

All in all, this set is a great buy and I highly recommend it to anyone!

Buy Core Bamboo 10488AM Amazon Exclusive Bamboo Cutting Board Set, 3-Piece Now

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I'm not in love with these. While it may be a good value for 3 boards, they're thin, which is good for storage, but the lack of a gulley/grove around the edge to catch drips is a huge disappointment. These boards are great for cutting fruits and veggies, definitely not good for a thick juicy steak. Also had a large juicy tomato that eventually leaked/ran off the board onto the counter. The lack of any kind of friction on the bottom permits the board to slide around the counter top, and that is driving me nuts. I'm going to check the hardware section for something that could be applied to prevent sliding without taking away from the natural beauty of the boards.

Read Best Reviews of Core Bamboo 10488AM Amazon Exclusive Bamboo Cutting Board Set, 3-Piece Here

I bought a set of these about a month and a half ago. They seemed pretty sturdy at first, and I didn't have any of the problems with then splintering that a few people had described. I noticed a couple weeks ago though that the largest one had warped a little bit, and it was starting to crack where the strips of bamboo were attached together. Today it broke in half while I was cutting some chicken up for dinner. The mid-sized one is starting to show the same cracks, so I'm guessing it's not going to last much longer either. So far the smallest one hasn't started cracking, but I'm sure it'll happen eventually. I definitely wouldn't waste my money on these. If you're going to get bamboo cutting boards, get something thicker and sturdier. Or buy a different material altogether.

Want Core Bamboo 10488AM Amazon Exclusive Bamboo Cutting Board Set, 3-Piece Discount?

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have to admit, I was a little surprised by the size of these cutting boards. I love bamboo cutting boards and have owned many since they became the rage about a decade ago. Usually, the boards I have are clunky and well over an inch thick. The Core Bamboo boards are much thinner than I'd imagined. In fact, they're really not much thicker than 1/2 an inch tops. Despite this, they seem to be incredibly durable.

The set comes with three sizes. One is perfect for herbs, garlic, ginger, and shallots. It's really too small to be useful for much else. The middle board is the one I've designated for vegetables and seafood, and then the larger board is my meat board. For food safety reasons, I always use a woodburning tool and mark the initial on the side of the board that's used for each food classification. So on the medium board, I have a "V" (vegetables) on one side and an "F" on the other for fish. On the meats board there is a "P" for poultry on one side and them "M" for beef and pork on the other. I can't remember where I learned that tip, but I've always used it.

With a price of just over $16, not only are these boards affordable, but getting three-in-one is even better. They take little space when it comes to storage, and are much nicer on knives than glass boards. I'm sold and hope these boards are still around when I need my next set years from now.

Guy Fieri Double Blade Salad Chopper, Black

Guy Fieri Double Blade Salad Chopper, BlackThe design of this chopper is very poor. The blades are too close together. Salad gets stuck in between and I have to use a knife to force it out. The blades also do not seem vey sharp and it did not cut all the way through the romaine lettuce. I am extremely disappointed in it. I may use it for chopping nuts, but that is about it.

This product picture looks awesome, but I gave the product 2 stars because it is difficult to use as a salad chopper and that's what I bought it for. Cuts fine, sharp blades, but there is so little space between the blade and your grip, that there is a backup of food pushing against your fingers as you are trying to chop a salad. The product say you can use as an herb chopper, and it's great for that only don't get for a salad chopper. Chop, chop, clean it out, chop, chop, clean it out. I did better with my cleaver chop, chopping.

Buy Guy Fieri Double Blade Salad Chopper, Black Now

I got this to make home versions of those wonderful "chopped salads" at Subway and while it does the job of chopping everything to uniformly-sized pieces, it's a pain to use because food gets stuck between the blades to the point where you can chop only twice then have to manually remove everything caught in between. Maybe if the blades weren't so close together, or maybe if there was a bigger space between the handle and the blades, it would be ideal. But it's too inconvenient and wasteful of time to have to keep removing the stuck food. I'd highly recommend as something to chop onion tops or herbs but for salads, I'd say keep looking for something else to come out.
