This fork is rigid and sturdy. The tines have a square cross section and sharp tips. The lack of a guard means that it may slip farther into a knife block than you want it to, so I keep this fork in a drawer. Oddly, there are no Victorinox brand markings on the handle, just "Made in Germany" etched into the metal shank.
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Cute little owls make this a very popular pattern. This set has been selling like mad since it was introduced earlier this year. It's something that would be nice if you have kids, since it's either whimsical or juvenile, depending on your point of view.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Of course these were meant to coordinate with the Little Hoot dinnerware collection and so they do! I thought at first the little owl was perhaps a bit too juvenile but I've received several compliments on them and directed people to them online.Read Best Reviews of Rachael Ray Dinnerware Little Hoot 20-Piece Flatware Set Here
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program A little on the pricey side but a welcome accompaniment to the Little Hoot collection of plates. The cutlery feels heavy and well made though doesn't hold up quite as well as the Reed & Barton set recently sold at Costco for the same price. As Bernadette pointed out, the owls are not completely uniform across every item in the way they are imprinted. This is a fun casual dining set but definitely not meant to rival formal dining ware if you like the design, it's a good purchase otherwise you will likely find highly quality elsewhere at this price point.Want Rachael Ray Dinnerware Little Hoot 20-Piece Flatware Set Discount?
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Okay, the owls are little different for me, but the silverware has been in and out of the dishwasher several times now and there has been no issues. I like that it feels like a solid piece of utensil and not something lightweight and cheap.
The knives are very nice, well made, and cut extremely well (watch your fingers).

Bought the two pack with the silver handle six months ago, and they instantly became the family's favorite. I bought one more with the black handle, which works equally well. I'm considering buying more as the knives are used daily to make the kid's lunch every morning and for spreading butter on toast. They are streak free out of the dishwasher, and have a serrated edge to make cutting the sandwhich in half a breeze. These are long enough to reach the bottom of even the biggest jars of peanut butter or mayonnaise.
These were a gift from my husband for Christmas. He was really disappointed when they arrived. He thought they would be a solid red handle, not wood stained a red color. I used them this weekend and Hey, they cut my steak just fine. I don't know how much he paid for them so I can't say if they were a good deal or not, but they do the job.
First used a similar item at a vacation rental this summer and knew that we would be purchasing knives of this quality. Easy to grip and a pleasure to use.
I ordered this knife set for the teen cooking program at my public library after being fed up with dealing with dull cheap knives. I knew Oxo made good products, and already had a couple items. I decided to stop making do with cheap tools, and just order some Oxo knives. This set looked like it would fit the bill.
Who knew that there are 2 sizes of flatware? The continental size, which this is, is way too big for my hand. The american size is smaller and available through Replacements, Ltd.

We actually didn't use this knife as intended.

This electric knife works great. Easily carved up our grilled TriTip and a whole cooked chicken. The knife is sturdily built and is not too noisy when operating.
This is a nice paring knife set, I bought them for fellow workers in a dinning facility in afganistan. The colors are nice so people can keep track of which one is theres or if you want to cordinate colors to certain foods like meat or vegtables. These knives are fairly sharp but if ussed a lot will need to be sharpend. I wish they came with sheaths so one could keep them in your pocket, but the price is right. I also do a lot of garnishing and carving art with fruit, these knives blades are a little to wide and the points not defined/pointy enough for detail carving. That said they work great for regular slicing of vegitables and fruits. Overall a great deal

This is my second pair like this. Very handy, durable, and does the job! A workhorse in the kitchen (and the rest of the house)
The fit and finish and quality of this knife is excellent. Rather thin handle might suit those with smaller hands. In my opinion the blade does not flex in the best way, it tends to bend a lot where the blade leaves the handle, and tends to stay straight and not bend much at all near the point of the blade. I really think a good fillet knife should flex over the whole length of the blade, and not just bend at the base where the blade leaves the handle. I would give this knife 3 stars as the " feel" of the blade as it flexs just does not suit me.
I am a professional cook and I LOVE this knifebut also, I can see why this knife might give some people problems. I love its extreme agilityit has a wonderful, lively action which is highly suited to very fast yet precise cutting. It is incredibly sharp, and the granton edge performs well. It is everything a santoku should be. I used a Shun for a long time until I realised that it was just too thick to produce the kind of precision cuts I needed to make.

I got my first MAC knives back in the 70s, thin metal blades with a hole in the tip so they could be hung up on a peg.

My father-in-law gave us this exact set of knives 35 years ago because he said we needed good knives, and MAC was the best he had ever used..........He was a butcher with his own shop in N.J.

Excellent set of knives given to my daughter, for her birthday. The set covers all her needs and are everything she hoped when she sent me the link to them.

She will use a knife bag for transporting them, and the rounded tips make that practical.Read Best Reviews of MAC 4 piece Knife Set #GSP41 Here
I just purchased as a wedding present the same 4 knife set that we bought shortly after we were married 44 years ago. This is a great set of knives. They are kept sharp by a few swipes along the back of a plate of china. However, I see they now sell a ceramic shapener that I assume will work just as well. If you want to give a wedding gift that people will thank you for many times over the years, I recommend this set of MAC knives. Each knife is simply perfect.Want MAC 4 piece Knife Set #GSP41 Discount?

So far I've been very happy with this stone. (I use this one and a 6000 grit stone). Good quality at a good price. Have had it for a few months and it is still nice and flat and even. Will update if time proves me wrong.

Since buying this stone less than a month ago, I've ended up sharpening close to a dozen knives with it. I bought it on vacation, and before I got home to Toronto ended up sharpening a number of knives for my grandparents and relatives, many of which hadn't been sharpened in decades. I definitely appreciate the two different grits-the coarse does a great job of removing any notches from the blade, and the 1000 grit side does a good job of honing the edge.Want Japanese Professional Knife Sharpening Stone Sharpener Discount?
You have to learn how to maintain the 20 degree angle, but it does not take long to learn .... Trust your small muscle memory .... And this little unit will sharpen and hone the best of knives. I now just give my knives a swipe or two on each size grit, and my knives are pristine sharp. Well worth the investment to maintain your quality knives!!!

I purchased these knives (and companion forks) during several visits to dehillerin in Paris in 2003 2004. Originally found them by chance during my annual visits to this culinary supply store on Rue de Toqueville near the Bourse in Paris. And we are still using them! They are very sturdy and the serrated edge blade retains its original sharpness. Following recommended directions, we do not put these in the dishwasher and wash them by hand. Diswashing sometimes causes stains on stainless steel flatware and I would guess that the diswashing detergent is not as kind as normal Dawn with regard to the knife blade cutting edge. We store the knives in an ordinary kitchen drawer wooden organizer by IKEA and have seen little scratching in use. Recommended! The set is available elsewhere with a wooden block at slight additional cost.
Ordered as a replacement for one that had lost it's texture over a period of about 4 years. Wrote the company to ask what the expected life of the product was and they asked for a photo showing that we have two. They then sent us a courtesy third one.

Well, it works great, as advertised. However, it is not the easiest thing to clean. It says you can toss it in the dishwasher (fully assembled, top rack) and that does the trick. It just seems like there are a lot of potential 'missed' spots. So I wash it VERY carefully in a sink of soapy water. A toothbrush works well to get between every little spot.

I bought this for occasional use. I don't do many steaks or other meats that require treatment, but I wanted it around for when I do. I selected one with a single row of knives as (1) easier to clean, and (2) smaller and simpler. The knives are very sharp. The first time a used it on a one-inch thick piece of meat, I had to check to make sure it was doing anything. I felt no resistance at all. So, while the single row of knives requires more strokes, there's little effort required.Read Best Reviews of Jaccard Supertendermatic 16 Blade Tenderizer Here
Bought this gadget recently, where I first used it on a nice piece of London broil. I made many passes through the meat, and then I marinaded it with a marinade sauce for a couple of hours. Then I put it on my barbeque and cooked it like a regular steak. When the London broil was done, it tasted like a good sirloin. I'm quite impressed with it.Want Jaccard Supertendermatic 16 Blade Tenderizer Discount?
We love this, & it works great ! No chemical taste, no extra salt, and very easy to clean, provided I do it right away (having read the reviews before I bought it, I just wash it immediately after use, as others have said it was difficult to clean if they let sit until they got around to it no dishwasher here, as we live in an area where water is hard, and softening water wastes a LOT of water... besides, I think handwashing gets things cleaner (at least visibly?)
