Jackson Series Grill Tools

Solid and impressive. Enhances the steak eating experience. Nice looking and a nice weight and handling in your hand. Do not hesitate to buy.

I gave this set to my husband last father's day. They were a perfect gift and he loved them. The set is very sturdy and the handles are long enough where you won't burn your hand or fingers. The wood is still great looking even after a few washes. Love the Outset line, their items are unique and very modern.

Just received this set in the mail. First Impression is that it's even more beautiful than it looked on line. Outset seems to be a cut above the rest of the field in grilling tools. I actually only got the whole three piece set because it was the same price, on sale, as the tongs alone. Was going to just get a set of Xtra long OXO stainless tongs, and saw the Outset Jackson's, which have same lockable design, but the sweet rosewood and extra length. So far so good, I'll update after I use them for a while as to the quality. I think I might just grab a few more sets of these to give as gifts for discerning grillers on my list.

I thought they were very eye appealing, but was disapointed with their ability to pick up things. They do not meet at the bottom to grab things small, they move from side to side also adding to the problem of lifting things up, I would not recommend them for these reasons.

Venice Silver Serving Set

Lenox has a set with the same pattern, but these kick it's but by far. The little rhinestones it has gives it that bit of sparkle that makes the serving set look a lot more classier. Lenox serving set is heavier, these are lighter, but i'll be returning the Lenox set.

This serving set arrived well-packaged so there was no breakage or scratches. The vine design is etched into the metal and looks very elegant. The crystals are a nice added touch. We look forward to using these at our wedding!

Victorinox Cutlery 8-Inch Forged Chef's Knife, Black POM Handle

I work in a production kitchen and this knife kicks butt. It takes a beating, very solid, heavy steel. I also own a shun which I do not use at work because it is delicate. this forschner can easily break down thirty chickens or cut a case of potatoes without taking a ding or going dull, though I hone it throughout the day when I am doing heavy chopping. the handle is not rounded which was a little hard on my hand until I formed a thick callus. It is great for heavy kitchen work, if you're into that sort of thing.

Sharp, well weighted, and comfortable. does not hold its edge like a more expensive knife but excellent for the price.

International Culinary Carving Set 22 Piece, Wood Case

Sure, I didn't expect a mega-super-quality for this price, but at least i didn't think that some tools' handles would be cracked. And the cutting edges are too dull. I can sharpen them, and replace the broken handles, so it'll be possible to work with this tool set, but...

So only 3/5.

By looking at the picture I thought I would get both sets for the price listed. I was surprised to see I only got the 22 piece set for that price.

The product is Okay, but like I said before by looking at the picture you thought you got the whole set for the price.

Harold Imports Stainless-Steel Multi-Blade Herb Scissors

To my surprise, this herb scissors works great and is easy to clean--just rinse under the kitchen sink. The efficacy of this tool has broadened my use of fresh herbs in my food preparation. This item is priced just right.

Regular scissor really work just as well for snipping herbs. These don't always cut all the way through, plus bits of herbs get caught between the blades making them harder to clean. Nor did I find them to work well for shredding paper as another reviewer suggested they don't cut through even a single sheet very easily.

Gibson Sunbeam Fairland 16-Piece Flatware Set, Green, Service for 4

Very attractive set, unfortunately the metal end pieces fell off of some of the spoons after only a couple of weeks of use making those pieces useless. There was no customer service phone number or website information on the packaging.

I bought a set of the green and orange. Fortunately they go perfectly with my plates. Sadly, they are very poor quality. The handles already have slight cracks at the base of the handles. There is also a product carving in the silverware that gives an awkward sensation when used. The carvings are on the bottom of the spoons and on the knives. The spoons are the problem. It's deep enough in the metal that you can feel it on your tongue. Would not buy these again. I'm currently looking for replacements but haven't found any I like yet.

I had hoped the darker shade on the left would be how this flatware looked, but it's definitely the shade on the right -neon lime green. At first I thought I would keep the set despite some misgivings, but ultimately I returned it for two reasons, one stronger than the other: First, the color was just enough off from the shade of my dishes to be less than satisfactory, but secondly and more important, the manufacturer stamped company information into the metal part of the pieces and I found this especially unwanted on the bowls of the spoons. The incised words are on the bottom of the spoon bowls (three lines of text) where they ruined (for me) the feel of the spoon. It adds a definite texture to the metal which I found unpleasant.

The set is quite heavy with the handles being considerably chunky -yet the balance is pretty good so the bulk wasn't a problem.

Lansky Natural Arkansas Sharpening System with Natural Arkansas Coase, Medium and Fine Hones

I have used Lansky systems (both standard and diamond) before and disliked the way they tend to leave deep scratches on the metal of the knife edge that are hard to polish off. Some people like that, kind of a microscopic saw blade effect. I prefer a smoother more polished edge.

The Arkansas stones are less aggressive requiring more patience but with a smoother result. The hardest part of using this system, for me, is that I have to use a light touch. I am kind of heavy handed. When done correctly this system works on just the cutting edge of the knife. Almost too small to see with the naked eye.

The best way to do this is to determine the correct angle for the type blade you are working on, set up your equipment and count your strokes. Arkansas stones don't raise much of a detectable burr so counting strokes is the only way to keep your blade balanced.

I also recommend the use of a Lansky Super Sapphire Sharpening Hone for final polishing and a Lansky Super "C" Clamp as a third hand.

If you have any experience sharpening knives this system will put an edge on that you can easily shave with assuming your knife steel is up to it of course. I sharpened a couple of my everyday CRKT knives with it and couldn't be happier. I have been using the knives for some wood carving since I sharpened them and I can still shave the hair off my arm or cut paper like I'm using scissors. I sharpened a couple kitchen knives and cut raw chicken like I was cutting butter. This system is well worth the money the only problem I have had is I needed to replace the hone guide it's made of aluminum and where it makes contact with the blade is pretty thin and I broke it but the replacement was less then 10 bucks maybe just order an extra when buying the kit. All in all this is well worth the money and I will be buying a kit for my brother for Christmas.

Buy Lansky Natural Arkansas Sharpening System with Natural Arkansas Coase, Medium and Fine Hones Now

I've used a Lansky ceramic sharpening system for years and made the switch to the natural Arkansas stone system recently. The difference in edge quality between the two systems is amazing. I am able to get scary sharp edges and always at the preferred angle. Although somewhat messier than ceramic or diamond systems, because you have too keep the stones well oiled during use, it's a minor inconvenience. Additionally, the Universal Mount (which "c-clamps" to a bench or table) is highly recommended to aid in ease of use...

Decent price. Stones are narrower than I expected but not an issue. Only thing I actually do not like is the jig, it's cheaply made and does not hold onto my tapered knives well.

It will take a while to hone a new edge to razor sharp perfection with this system, but nothing I know of will do it better. Well unless you have mad skills with your steady hands. Don't ever use a grinder on any blade you cherish please! Just be careful not to slice through your body parts afterwards and not notice until you feel blood dripping. It is possible perhaps to go too sharp if you get the sapphire stone... Just a warning.

Unica Flatware Collection "Izzy" 48-Piece White-Handle, Vibro Finish Flatware Set plus Organizer, S

I am disappointed with the size of the forks(salad and dinner) and the teaspoons. All are unusually small. The salad fork and spoon are about the size designed for a child. The dinner fork is barely larger than a normal salad fork. Because i wanted white handles I have kept the set. If it had been expensive I would have returned it.

Just received these in the mail today. Like how they coordinate with all my dishes, plates, etc. Used a fork and spoon with dinner tonight....very comfortable and easy to handle. No complaints!!

Stone River 2-Piece Santoku/Parer with Black Ceramic Blade

I've had this set for about a month. I also have two stainless steel sets with far more knives. Except for the steak knives in the stainless sets, I use these two knives more than any of the others. They cut meat effortlessly and cleanly. The santoku slices blocks of cheddar better than anything I've used before.

Please remember, however, they are neither screwdrivers nor pry bars. They are brittle compared to metal blades. Use them as knives. Period.

I bought these Stone River ceramic knives hoping they would be useful instead of the Kyocera ceramic knives I usually use. They cost about half as much. But they don't cut it--literally. They are not nearly as sharp and they dull much more quickly. And for my hand, they are too small. In chopping down, I have to hold my hand with the cutting board at the edge of the counter or my hand hits the board or edge. The paring knife is a bit better because its small size is what you expect with that kind of knife.

Good sharp, very light and decent design. These blades have worked very well for simple vegetables and meats. However, for the price of these, my money would have definitely been better spent on the quality of J.A. Henckels knives, which have never failed me in the past.

Dexter Russell 9" stainless steel heavy duty cleaver

"Hey, hey, HEY, PEOPLE . . . Let's be careful out there." Yes, the tag line from an old favorite Hill Street Blues came to mind before I even opened the package. Heavy Duty means 4 pounds of cleaver. FOUR POUNDS! And it's SHARP. If you are chopping cow, horse, pig or any other large animal, this baby is for you. If you are chopping chickens, ducks or roosters, this may be ok, but is probably overkill (excuse the pun). If you are chopping fish, greens or vegetables, get another cleaver. In fact, you probably want a Chinese knife (looks like a cleaver but it's not). Cut the head off a duck, no problem. Gross anatomy cuts on a cow? One shot. Done. Flatten garlic, yep, but so will a real sharp brick.

Seriously, unless you feel comfortable wielding this thing, and I'm 6'3" 225 lbs. (ok, 230) you will cut yourself very, very badly. This is not for delicate work. It is good steel and holds an edge very well. It is comfortable in a large hand and is balanced well BUT it is 4 POUNDS. Are we clear?

This is an excellent tool for all meat processing, no worries about dulling/damaging the blade while chopping thru bone. i recommend it to anyone . great ,heavy durable tool. beats any other tool I have used in 30 years of processing wild game.

Folks, this bad boy is what it says it is....heavy duty. Great craftmanship, sharp blade goes through chicken bones like they aren't even there. I have used it on chicken, beef, pork without a hitch as well as crushing stuff like pepper and garlic. Would recommend this for anyone who does a lot of butchering/cutting of large pieces of meat. Warning, this thing is heavy and sharp, if you have problems with moving heavier objects definitely not for you.

Read Best Reviews of Dexter Russell 9" stainless steel heavy duty cleaver Here

I process my own meats from critters I raise on my ranch. It became obvious a short time ago that I needed something to help...take things apart...quicker and cleaner. My familiarity with the antique trade introduced me to the beauty and functionality of older ways of doing things. A cleaver became the answer to the need. When shopping around on Amazon I was looking for a combination of size, weight, and quality. When my cleaver arrived I was NOT disappointed. It is huge, heavy and razor sharp! I'm now almost looking forward to the next processing project, just to use this.

Update: 5-8-2013. I have been using this cleaver pretty regularly to cut up everything from turkeys to goats to occasional larger critters. If I had a complaint, and it's a small one, it would be that I don't have the wrist strength I would like to. This is a heavy chopper and takes a bit of finesse to handle safely. No, I haven't cut anything I didn't intend to.

But as far as quality and utility go...this is an outstanding product. If you can pick it up, you won't be disappointed. The cleaver weighs in at just under 3 pounds!
