Core Bamboo 2996 Classic Bamboo Cutting Board, Large

Core Bamboo 2996 Classic Bamboo Cutting Board, LargeIt light and easy to use but it might be too thin. A month in, after I left it in the sink for a few hours, one side must have dried faster and it ended up curved and broken into 2 pieces

The cutting board is a good size but is quite thin. On the positive side, it means the cutting board is quite light and easy to carry around (and clean). However, it also makes it at least feel a bit more flimsy when a larger item (such as a large roast or tri-tip) is on it.

Still, it hasn't broken despite frequent use over the last two months so it's sturdier than one might think.

Wusthof Classic Ikon 7 inch Santoku, Hollow Edge + 12.5 X 8-Inch Bamboo Cutting Board + Knife Sharp

Wusthof Classic Ikon 7 inch Santoku, Hollow Edge + 12.5 X 8-Inch Bamboo Cutting Board + Knife SharpenerI LOVE LOVE LOVE this knife! It is the best one I've ever owned! I'm so happy that I invested the time to research knives and ended on this being my final choice. It is the best knife I've ever worked with, and I've been thru culinary school. I love the Santoku knives better then a chef's knife. And Wustof is one of the best commercial knife makers, only a few brands are at the same level as far as quality. Also, the Ikon line (in my opinion) is better then their Classic line, the handles feel better in my hand. I will be investing in a full set of the Wusthof Ikon knives once I have the means to do so.

Kyocera KC Classic Series 5-Inch White Slicer Knife

Kyocera KC Classic Series 5-Inch White Slicer KnifeOne of my recent discoveries has been Kyocera ceramic knives. How have I missed out on this all these years? Ceramic knives rule. I thought I had really nice knives, a fabulous Santouku from Crate and Barrel and a Henckel I've had for years. Well, enter this Kyocera Chef's Knife and I no longer want to use my other knives.

A knife is something I use multiple times a day and I really appreciate this quality. Ceramic knives stay sharp and don't oxidize and turn your food brown (something that easily happens to lettuce). This knife feels good in my hand and makes chopping easy and pleasurable. After using this, I wouldn't even consider buying another metal knife.

Initially, the knife cut very smoothly. I purchased it back in Dec. 2010 for Christmas and bought it based on the reviews. I have not used it often and it seems duller now but other than that it seems great. I have to get it sharpened.

I have had this knife since March of 2012 and have used it 5 days a week at a sushi restaurant. I love the balance and feel of this blade and it lasts me through a shift or two until I have to sharpen. I will say that the steel feels softer and the tip of my blade broke whilst sharpening on a 1000 grit whetstone though I re-shaped it easily. Still like this blade in my arsenal!

Masanobu VG-10 Sujihiki

Masanobu VG-10 SujihikiGreat knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.

Spatulas - Rosewood Straight Blade 8

Spatulas - Rosewood Straight Blade 8I am very pleased with the quality and appearance of this spatula. I have used it several times and it is exactly what I was looking for.

Recieved this on time and in good condition. I do love the black handled ones better, however, this is a great little tool for small cakes, and for frosting down the sides. Good quality, and great for the price!! A must-have for cake decorating.

While this item was almost a direct replacement for my previous spatulas, the difference is with the flexability of the blades. Research didn't show me any items with a thinner and more flexable blade for the same size item.

I was looking for an heir to my 80 year old butter knife. This is a good choice. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a full-tang blade, but what's to be expected for 3.00?

My main use for this will be as a butter/peanut butter/jelly knife. The eight inch length will get to the bottom of most jars.

Personally, I would prefer a longer blade for cake-decorating. I don't like any part of my hand or spatula handle going over the cake.

Delivery was stated to be by the end of August. I didn't get it until mid-September. I didn't get any email from the seller telling me there would be a delay.

P.S....I just clicked on the item to verify some information and I see the price went up to 5.00

10" Crust Buster Knife - Wusthof Gourmet

10' Crust Buster Knife - Wusthof GourmetI have several serrated kitchen knives, however this one surpasses them all. I bought it because I have a bread machine and I started baking my own loaves. It is very difficult to get evenly cut slices without a knife like this. This is my "go to" knife for slicing bread and larger items like watermelon. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving to see how well it does on a 20+ lb turkey...

Robinson Knife 61323 "Sunbeam" 4-Piece Measuring Cup Set, White

Robinson Knife 61323 'Sunbeam' 4-Piece Measuring Cup Set, WhiteThese have all of the qualities that I was looking for in measuring cups, that some others do not always have.

They are made of a hard plastic, so they are stiff and sturdy, but not flexible.

The handles are a little shorter than most, only 2 inches long, but it is just fine for me. (I have shorter fingers.)

They snap together at the handles for easy storage, taking up little space at 3 inches high altogether.

And then, I like that they pop apart for individual use, no ring or clip in the way holding them together like others have.

The measurements are on the handles, and they are raised markings, which is what I wanted, because the painted on measurements always wear off and become unreadable. But keep in mind, these markings are raised from the plastic, so they white on white, and that might be hard to see for some people, so that may be undesirable for you.

Set includes: 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 1 cup. They are compact sized as individual cups, and also when stacked together, though a bit taller, but I like that they are not so wide as others. Cup sizes range from about 2-3 inches in diameter, and 1-3 inches in height. The measurements are also marked in smaller print in ml: 60 ml, 80 ml, 125 ml, 250 ml.

No frills... Just a handy set of measuring cups. Nests well which is what I was looking for so that it would store easily in the kitchen drawers.

They work like they should. They are also very sturdy. There is nothing connecting the cups so it's important to make sure they are lined up together so you don't lose one.

These measuring cups are just what you would expect. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is no 3/4 Cup measure. They are durable and hold up well in the dishwasher.

We have a nicer set of measuring cups (though I can't really tell the difference) that we use for baking, and we purchased this additional set for measuring out our two puppies' dry kibble (don't want to mix the people and pet measuring tools!). They are sturdy, have lasted through the dishwasher, and seem to be accurate. The price is right!

It doesn't have a rubber grip as I thought it did but it was half the price as those that did and still fit in my holster. My hands are usually wet in a cooler for extended periods of time and the handle despite the lack of rubber has enough grip to keep working with numb hands.

The color is no doubt tan. Its a little more intense than the picture shows.

Very sharp knife that requires only occasional honing(the edge will last years even with almost daily use in a work environment).

Pure Komachi 2 Series Fish Knife

Pure Komachi 2 Series Fish KnifeYears ago I bought a package deal from On The Table containing a first generation Pure Komachi Fish knife and Kitchen Shears (matching colors) for $20. We're still using both, but the Fish knife has had some of the coating near the edge chip away; however, it's also the most used knife in our kitchen. Though I've sharpened this knife many times over the years, it holds its edge much better than most of my knives, some of which are fairly expensive. They're also easy to sharpen. Pure Komachi knives seem to be fairly high carbon and I honestly prefer them to my Gerber, Mac (non-pro), etc. knives. In my opinion, Pure Komachi knives are better than anything else you will find at most (non-specialized) department stores.

I keep all of my kitchen cutlery, regardless of quality, very sharp. I use Spyderco Fine and Ultra Fine bench stones. I sharpen my knives before they get dull, such that they are usually sharp enough to shave hair. My Pure Komachi continues to hold a great edge.

I also own a number of Pure Komachi 2 knives (made in China), which is what I'm reviewing here. As far as their blade characteristics go, the second generation knives are essentially the same as the first generation Pure Komachi knives (made in Japan). First generation Pure Komachi knives had slightly more appealing colors and nice translucent handles (and the knife tang contained cutouts depicting fish, bread, etc. depending on the knife's purpose).

Wash these knives by hand--I recommend against putting any knives in the dishwasher. In this case it's bad for the coating, but it seems likely that putting knives in the dishwasher can damage their temper. As absurd as that may sound to you, I inherited a few knives from my grandparents that are duplicates of knives I've owned that have that simply won't hold an edge (while mine will). The only difference is that my grandparents washed their knives in the dishwasher.

Higher end knives are better than Pure Komachi, but one high end knife will cost you as much as a full set of Pure Komachi knives. I vastly prefer my 4 Shun knives--they get sharper and stay sharp much longer, but they're expensive knives and I tend to baby them (and hide them from guests).

A good knife for about ten bucks. The lifetime free sharpening from Kershaw/Shun is nice too. Because the blade edge is SIXTEEN DEGREES not 15 degrees, I suggest you send the knife back to Kershaw/Shun for free re-sharpening. Failure to re-sharpen with the proper angle makes the knife not work for cutting.

I was first drawn to this item because of the color. After I tried it for the first time the quality of the item won me over! You have to be careful the first few times you use this it is so light that you underestimate how well it cuts!

This knife is worth twice the price I highly recommend you purchase it!

I love all Komachi knives. They cut extremely well, and the resin makes them rust-resistant. They are easy to grip, and the colors make it easy to identify their use. They clean easily and are great to use. I buy them as presents for friends and family every year for Christmas. The fish knife is great for tuna, salmon, tilapia and catfish. Those are the only fish that I have tried it on.

Zyliss Carving Knife, 8-Inch, Green

Zyliss Carving Knife, 8-Inch, GreenI have always been a fan of Zyliss products, every since I purchased my first salad spinner from them many moons ago. They have yet to disappointment me, and that holds true for this great carving knife. Love the 8" size, which is kind of perfect and easy to manage. Love the grippy handle, it's really comfortable and easy to hold even when wet. Love the blade sleeve so I can safely keep it in a drawer. But what I love most, and the reason I am going with 5 stars is... this knife is sharp. Really sharp. When I was preparing salmon filets last night I was amazed that it sliced through the skin without hesitation. It's so sharp that I find I use it more than my other favorite knife, a fancy German brand I shall not name:) And it's a fraction of the cost. Yeah, this is one sharp little carver.

I received my Zyliss Carving 8" Green knife about a week ago and I use it almost daily (except the days I refuse to cook!!) It is one VERY sharp knife. I've used it from cutting chicken to chopping vegetables to slicing cooked meat to even cutting tomatoes. It seems to do the gamut of kitchen slicing needs. I love the green color and I still have all my fingers because of the great holder it comes in. I'm notorious for reaching into a drawer without looking and a couple of times my fingers have run along the edge of the knife holder. I would highly recommend this knife because it is efficient in it's design and fun in it's color.

This knife works as well as my more expensive German knives. I like the ergonomic non-slip handle, and the blade sheath allows me to throw it in the drawer with my most-used kitchen tools. The green color makes it easy to find. I like it so well that I plan to buy one or two more knives in different sizes.

The first thing about this knife that jumps out at me is the color. I LOVE the green. It goes perfectly with my kitchen I think this is soon to become my new favorite knife! Another thing I really wanted to point out was that because of the color I initially thought the knife might be dull or cheap but it's actually WAY sharper than it looks. Like super sharp. I am impressed!!

Also the case for the knife is another favorite feature so that I can throw it in my drawer without worrying about the blade dulling or about cutting myself trying to reach for it.

Ginkgo Sea Drift 45-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8

Ginkgo Sea Drift 45-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8We have been using it for a few months now & have had no problems washing it in the dishwasher. The design is very attractive, & the pieces have a solid feel -not super heavy, but not flimsy like some inexpensive flatware. The size of the salad forks seems tinier than usual, but overall a great value for the price.

I am a person who reads reviews before I buy anything and I wont write a 5 star review unless I truly believe in the product. I bought this set about seven months ago and its great!!! I use them every day I have two sons ages six and four and this set is just what I was looking for they are very durable they have seen there fair share of abuse and they still look great just like the day I pulled them out of the box! They are heavy the will not bend with normal use and they truly are dishwasher friendly! Like I said I use these everyday and put them in the dishwasher everyday they will not rust! So if you are looking for a great set that will last you a life time look no more you have found them! In fact I am going to buy a second set I would recommend this set to everyone I know the price is high but you get what you pay for and if your like me you do the math its creeper in the long run!

The Gingko Flatware set is the nicest flatware I have ever had. It has gone far past my expectations as far as beauty, durability, style, weight and sheen goes. It has a very classy appearance, but yet is more than suitable for everyday use. I am so happy I purchased the set and would pass this information on to all my family and friends.

Vera Wang by Wedgwood Stainless Flatware Cabochon Five-Piece Place Setting

We had it on a dept store registry but it is made in Korea and Vietnam (Wedgewood version). Amazon had the better version so we returned the dept store sets and got them all from here. The set is large and has a nice weight feel to it, so my husband isn't worried about bending the pieces. It is very classic and we love it. We plan to order more sets.

This place setting is absolutely beautiful. The picture does not do it justice. Hopefully others will be willing to purchase the other sets the bride needs.

This is a nice set of utensils. My only complaint is that while I purchased these to use with my non-stick cookware, they do not seem to hold up well to too high of temperatures. Medium high on my stove-top started melting the spoon as I tried to stir against the bottom of the pan. They are fairly sturdy, though and as long as you keep to medium or below, hold up very well.

Acacia 17-Slot Knife Block

Acacia 17-Slot Knife BlockThis is an exceptionally beautiful,well made block with cleanly laid slots. It's best for your shorter Wustoff (6-8" chef and bread knives)and is a bit slimmer than my last block, which is a plus. The depth is also a little short for more than a 8-10" sharpening steel.

It's a lightly finished medium to dark acacia. It appears to be an easy to clean and long lasting finish, which may need to be maintained with walnut oil in five years or so if the finish fades. Just don't put mineral oil or "cleaners" on it (or any woods) and it should be fine for a long time IM(NS)HO.

The variegation in color on the acacia block allows for setting beautifully with a variety of accessories on a variety of countertops from black pearl to blue, brown, pink to nearly white granite, slate, marble, concrete, tile and glass. It just glows. Looks good with the Classic set and the Blackwood Classic Ikon. Not as great with the plain steel Culinar but still good. If you prefer your own special selection of knives rather than the basics you find in most sets, this is a fair price for the block. I've paired it with Kunihiro (see their website) of various glazes and Pacific Merchants Acacia trays which you can find here on Amazon. It looks good everywhere and performs nicely so far, no shredding edges from hastily pulled knives.
