Diamond Cut 19Pc Diamond Cut Cutlery Set
I have had Diamond Cut knives for the past 20 years and just purchased this set to replace some knives (not diamond cut) that had seen better days. I researched all of the more expensive cutlery sets and decided based on my lifestyle, I would stay with what works. If you are a person who wants to put knives in the dishwasher, tends to leave dishes and knives in the sink and you don't want to have to worry about sharpening them and "taking good care of them", these are the knives for you. They are durable, did not rust, did not get water spots, they cut through just about anything and they have stayed sharp. They are lightweight, easy to handle and are maintenance free. So, if you are looking for an extra set, a beginning set, a hassle free set and just want to get the job donethis is a great set for the money.
I would not hesitate to recommend these knives to someone who wants a cheap set that will do the job and last a surprisingly long time.

I bought these knives individually. They are cheap, consistently sharp have not had to sharpen in over 2 years. The handle is one piece of black handle. Yes, its true the handle is not riveted on. but it can cut a tomato much better then my wusthof knife. Its not perfect for every job, but works great for 95% of jobs. i bought mine for $2 each! so even if one knife lasts 3 months, i already have my money's worth. i just throw in the dishwasher. love it, recommend it. will continue to buy again.Read Best Reviews of Diamond Cut 19Pc Diamond Cut Cutlery Set Here
I bought these knives 13 years ago for my first apartment. They have lasted through a lot of abuse and now a family of four. So yes the knife broke at the blade and handle but were well worth it. That's only one out of 19. Thanks for making an inexpensive set that lasts.Want Diamond Cut 19Pc Diamond Cut Cutlery Set Discount?
Amazing quality knives for the price. Totally worth the purchase even if we only get a year's use out of them.(I'm sure they'll last a lot longer than that).Save 79% Off

YORKCRAFT 16PC FLATWARE SET
False advertisement.The set is not stainless steal!!! The faux steel was pealed off upon arrival. The quality is cheap and generic dollar store quality. Don't waste your time or money. For $5 more you get "real" quality and "real" stainless steel flat where elsewhere.

I liked the look of the flatware. I was looking for something for my grandson, who was starting out on his own.Because it was a gift, I was not happy that the packaging was torn up. It made the gift look cheap.
He accepted the gift graciously. I haven't asked him about the functionality of it. I'm sure it works okay. Afterall, it's flatware.

I ordered a variety of kitchen textiles from this company; all are great. Shipping is much less when multible items are ordered at one time, as you will see at check-out. I especially like the oven cloths, so much easier than hotpads.
Ginkgo Naples 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4
This flatware is really a fine bargain. It has the look and feel of a more expensive set of flatware (There is usually some trouble figuring this out from photos). They are not flimsy at all. The pattern is simple and contemporary and they are also very well-balanced. They are just slightly larger than standard flatware which is a feature I like, i.e. the tablespoon ladle seems to be slightly larger than the ones I've been using. I was afraid they might be too shiny and although they have a nice bright luster it is just slightly muted so they don't have the tacky look of cheapo flatware. It does have "China" stamped into the metal near the bottom of the knife blade by the handle. It doesn't bother me at all but make sure it doesn't bother you before buying.
It is now February,2013 and my Flatware is still like new. . The inside of the spoons and the sides of the knives don't have any scratches and still shine with a mirror image. It's really amazing!

The Naples pattern is well balanced, a pleasure to eat with, comfortable to hold. It feels substantial, not like the fork tines will bend if you press down hard.

I didn't notice it is 18/0 stainless steel .... and in a matter of a month ( I purchased two sets ) they were discolouring and getting dark spots ... really a shame ... I wouldda paid a bit more for a better quality product of this design. I will say return was mega simple I first ask to exchange, and when I got the new pieces they were flawed as well, I re-opened a chat and in a few minutes a I had a return slip and credit and different brand of flatware on the wayWant Ginkgo Naples 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4 Discount?
How disappointing. They are solid, nice weight and seemingly flawless finish BUT we bought two sets for Christmas and found imperfections throughout. Unfinished metal, blemishes and areas that are painted/coated evenly. No problem, they sent us a new set. Problem solved. WRONG! After putting them thru the dishwasher a few times they are showing signs of RUST!We are contacting the seller for a full refund
Very disappointed because these are identical to the ones at Williams Sonoma we'd been pining for.

WMF Crossband Stainless Steel Flatware Placesetting
I am so pleased with this beautiful flatware set. It is just the right weight, feels substantial, and I love the longer length of the knives in the set. Amazon's customer service is the best, as I too did not receive the correct amount of flatware, 51 of 53, but the next day Amazon delivered a complete set to me and I am happy as can be with my purchase.
Pieces were individually wrapped and just loose in the box I counted the pieces and only received 52 instead of 53. Amazon customer service made it right.

Chicago Cutlery Deluxe Shears, Blue
These shears are pretty good, but two things are a slight negative for us. We rarely use the screwdriver or can opener in the rear--they get in the way more than they help--lesson learned. The other issue when cutting plastic, paper, etc., is the cutout along the blade (on one side). Maybe it's just our pair, but it creates uneven cutting since when you start cutting with these shears, it stops at this cutout, then you have to "wiggle" the scissors to get them to cut again. Recommendation is to get a straight edge for the actual blade (no curved cutout on the one side). Good luck!Save 23% Off

Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Steak Knife Set
We received these as wedding gifts in mid-2003. We have several other Wusthof Classic knives purchased as open stock. The steak knives we received as a 6-piece set. We treat these knives better than we treat our friends. They get touched up by the steel, they don't soak, they are hand-washed and they go in the block when not in use. However, last night an approximately 1 cubic centimeter chunk of the handle nearest the blade fell into my wife's dinner. She was shocked, as was I. Upon closer inspection, another steak knife from the set was about to suffer the same fate. I think it must have been a bad production run given all our other knives, received at the same time (and which get used about the same amount) all look fine. I sent them back yesterday so I'm interested to see how well they honor their warranty.Update 1/23/07: Received replacement knives today. Putting them back into the block was bittersweet because I noticed another one of the original set is developing a crack, this time at the bottom. Not sure what the issue is...
Main point: They appear to honor their warranty.
The edges are plain edged, honed by hand. These are NOT your STEAK HOUSE knives no serrations. Your SLICING fine meat not disposing of a lost tourist in Texas!
Hand washing only, even with today's more sophisticated dishwashers with knife compartments preventing dinging and other damage to the blade, the high water heat and chemicals in the diswashing soap will ruin ANY knife. Think of the glass that you've had for years that you've run through the dish washer. Look closely and you'll see the glass is actually ETCHED from the detergent. And the old wood handled paring knives. Notice how they are duller and harder to sharpen? The dishwater temperature and chemicals from the detergent have damaged the steel. By the way, there is no SUPER steel that isn't known to all knife makers. Metallurgy is an exacting science, a formula to be followed, not magic with the Sorcerer and Mickey Mouse as his apprentice. Wusthof PROUDLY stamps the which metal their knives are made of right on the blade. It may be heard in a sales spiel from the college kid selling complete cutlery sets, that knives can be dishwasher cleaned. Nope.I don't put my saw blades, drill or router bits in the dishwasher either. They are precision edged tools just like your knives.
I'm very happy with this purchase everytime they come out for a meal. They feel comfortable, familiar like an extension of your hand, as all the Wusthof Classic cutlery do.
Good weight, balance and excellent hand honed edge. This knife is the one my wife reaches for first for her needs in the kitchen. Never argue with a woman with a knife in her hand. Especially a Wusthof!!

Buy Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Steak Knife Set Now
I love all the Wusthof knives we have. Before we got married, we had a functional set and a really crappy set from lord knows where. We had no idea just how good knives could be. We were blown away when we tried these for the first time. We had these since July and haven't had to sharpen them yet (I was sharpening my last set all the time). When were were looking into the steak knives, we really couldn't see the difference between the expensive version and the cheaper ones. We went on faith that the expensive ones really were better. We got them, and tried them on some filets. Huge difference from our old set. Then I went to visit my father and found he had the cheaper Wusthof steak knives. They too were better than the crappy ones we previously had, but there is a significant difference in quality and ability to cut between the two Wusthof choices. If you have the money, go for the more expensive set. You won't regret it.Read Best Reviews of Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Steak Knife Set Here
These are damn sharp knives, comfortable to hold, and of course they cut a ribeye like the proverbial butter. Heck, they cut an overcooked, leathery skirt steak the same way!These were a follow-on to the complete Wusthof knife set. I'd recommend Wusthof highly to any halfway serious chefs out there. This is serious German steel at a reasonable price.
Want Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Steak Knife Set Discount?
Ordered these steak knives to add to some Wusthof pieces we had recently purchased. As with the previous Wusthof knives, we are so pleased! These are excellent knives. They're a little larger than the 25-year-old steak knives we were replacing, but they don't feel heavier or cumbersome in any way. And they are unbelievably sharp!For cleaning, the Wustof website states:
"If you value your tools, we recommend washing your knives with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Technically, WÜSTHOF knives are suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher (except knives with wooden handles), but there are a number of reasons why precious knives should not be cleaned in a dishwasher..." The website goes on to state the reasons why you should hand wash their knives, but I was happy to know the knives would be okay if they ran through a cycle in the dishwasher. In a busy household, a knife is bound to sneak into the dishwasher now and then (that's what happened to the old wooden-handled steak knives that we are replacing) and it's great to know we won't ruin the knives if it happens.
The only drawback is they're so darned expensive, but we think they're worth the investment. Would buy again, and recommend.

Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Chef's Knife
I didn't know how much I needed this knife until I had it. This is my first "good" knife, and boy does it make a difference. For a long time I had heard that one good knife can be your most useful tool in the kitchen, and it is the truth! I used to be a kitchen gadget collector, but I use this knife for a lot of the things that I used to have gadgets for (frees up a lot of space in my kitchen!) I also invested in a sharpener, and try to sharpen the knife every three or four uses.The balance of this knife is great, and it fits my hand perfectly. It was a little heavier than I anticipated, but I got used to that very quickly. This knife has replaced most of my other cheap knives, and I don't miss them a bit.
Buy Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Chef's Knife Now
I was fortunate enough to pick this knife up as a "Gold Box" offering. Though the finish of the blade isn't as smooth and shiny as I might have expected from a company such as Calphalon, the overall quality of the knife is really exceptional, especially for the price. As you may have expected, this knife is crafted in a Chinese factory, and they never seem to "buff" their metal to quite the same degree as products from western origin. But I must say, I really love this knife. It's mass and blade curvature make it equally effective for cleaving apart a chicken or rocking through herbs to mince them. It comes with a very sharp edge, which is easily maintained by using a steel or keen to re-burnish it from time to time. The ONLY thing I'm slightly dissapointed about is the fact that the blade is just a little too thick to fit into the slot on my current knife holder block, so it spends a lot of time flat on the counter. I plan to make a new holder to house it along with my other 4" and 6" versions from the same Calphalon collection, which I have since purchased at full Amazon price--I was that impressed.Read Best Reviews of Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Chef's Knife Here
After I bought my Calphalon cookware I knew I would continue to buy their products because they are very good quality, especially for the price. I know their cookware & kitchen utensils are good, but I wasn't sure about their cutlery (some companies make quality cookware but poor quality knives). So I decided to take a chance & get the 8" Chef's knife and I am so glad I did! I think this knife is beautiful & the perfect weight. I really like the handle & it feels nice and balanced in my hand. It didn't come out of the box quite as sharp as I'd like it to be, but it's definitely sharp enough. I can't wait to get more knives & the maple block! This knife is great for everyday use!!Want Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Chef's Knife Discount?
I was surprised at how well this knife performed. I have had no problems with it at all. It slices through things with ease. The handle is also great. The rubber on the handle prevents it from slipping, and makes the knife more comfortable. I have not tried any of the higher end knives like Wusthof or henckels so I am not sure how this performs compared to them.Save 43% Off

Ok so I always thought electric can openers were silly BUT I have gone through about 4 openers in the last year that didn't work well or broke so I thought give an electric one a try. I love it! It takes the lid right off no problem and there is no mess with the lid falling into the can. PERFECT PRODUCT. I LOVE AMAZON!

This is a horrible opener.First, it doesn't always catch the can properly. You have to jiggle to get it to line up right. Sure cut my FOOT!
Second, it jerks when it's done opening the can, so usually it ends up splashing whenever I'm opening something that's liquidy.
After 2 frustrating months, this went in the garbage.

Sure cut surely is a apt description of how this product works. all pro's on this product. the only con is that I've placed it towards the rear of my kitchn counter and when I go to open up a can, I have to pull it forward or it won't work properly. but thats my doing. the can opener is great.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 2-Piece Promotional Chef Set
It was sheer luck that I needed an 8" chef's knife to complete my wife's kitchen while this promotion was available. We already had a 3" and a 2¾" bird's beak so we didn't need a paring knife but the addition of a 4" is quite welcome. The price has dropped seven dollars since I purchased this set only a week ago but it's such a great deal I can't complain.Henckels Twin Pro-S knives are outstanding quality. The blades are strong and stay sharp for years. The balance point is right where the bolster arches back to the handle. The knife is heavy but effortless to control because it seems to float in your hand. I prefer it to the weight forward construction of other brands. Our Twin Pro-S 6" chef's knife is over fifteen years old and has never been sharpened, only honed on the steel. It is still razor sharp and is my wife's favorite knife for slicing tomatoes in spite of having newer and more appropriate knives for that task.
You can't beat the quality for this price. These are probably the two most useful and most used knives in any kitchen. A great starter set or addition to any cutlery collection.

Kershaw 7700 Series 8-Inch Bread Knife
Simply put, the 7700 series knives are amazing.Perfect Japanese balance and amazing sharpness. The handles are beautiful and very comfortable. Exactly what you'd expect from KAI/Kershaw. Be sure to check out the photos I uploaded to customer images.
Imagine slicing through a bagel with zero effort; no sawing, no smushing. That was me this morning using the 8" bread knife. My girlfriend watched as I "showed off". She said, "it looked like a magic trick, it was so effortless."
Besides this knife, I'd also recommend the Kershaw 7700 Series 9-Inch Slicing Knife. The 9" blade is awesome for roast beef and turkey. In fact, slicing up the holiday bird has never been easier. The increased length really makes a difference for smooth, long slicing.
If you have an opportunity to buy open stock 7700 series knives or a set, jump all over it. You'll never go back to a German blade again. :)
Zwilling J.A. Henckels Zwilling Pro 10 Inch Chef's Knife Kitchen
This knife is one of Zwilling Henckel's updated generation, with an arched (or shortened) bolster. The shape of bolster and handle makes it very comfortable to use a traditional "pinch grip" with the the thumb and index finger gripping the blade heel. Because the bolster is shortened, the entire length of blade is accessible and easy to sharpen from front to back.The blade shape on the updated Pro series Chef's knives is fairly distinctive; being wide almost all the way from heel to tip, with a less pronounced point... the blade tip seeming to ride higher than usual. The result is a more pronounced curve at the front third of the blade, with a long nearly straight back half. The back half of the blade, rather than angling slightly upward from the heel toward the tip as in most other chef's knives, instead runs nearly parallel to the spine for several inches before finally curving upward toward the tip. Because the overall blade geometry is wider/taller than many traditional chef's knives, someone with large hands may find it gives them extra space they need. The weight and heft of the knife feels very good, substantial but not too heavy. Fit and finish were superb, and it came out of the box razor sharp.
Although I liked the knife, in the end I returned it and purchased a more traditionally shaped Wusthof Classic 10-inch Chef's. The width of the Pro's blade bothered me somewhat and I decided I preferred a more pointed shape and less width toward the front of the blade (I'd like to have kept it but as an amateur I can only justify keeping one 10-inch chef's knife). Despite my own preferences, it's a good knife, and the blade shape and width may suit some much more than it did me. Kudos to Henckels for the new shortened arched bolster... very comfortable and usable.
