I needed a good knife to cut my meat and slice up meat. This knife is great. It stays sharp and I rarely have to sharpen it. I like the angle on the top of the knife because when you are cutting fat or silver skin, it gets right underneath it. It is a very large knife though. It can also double as a small fighting sword!

Recently used this knife to trim several whole briskets before putting them in the smoker. It made quick work of what was usually a very tedious job. Well balanced, sharp and the grip was very comfortable.

This posting follows my earlier review of a different 18/0 flatware set. I found the Rose Elegance pattern quite detailed (more so than is revealed by the photo posted with this listing) and attractive, although there were trade-offs made to achieve the relatively low price point, see below.

It's an okay set of flatware. It's very flat, and feels a little cheap next to nicer made pieces, but this is good enough for everyday use. I really bought it because I needed more teaspoons. for some reason i've lost a bunch of teaspoons. it works fine for stirring my coffee.

Buy Norpro Glass Cheese Dome with Marble Base Now
I was looking for a small marble cheese "plate" and I found it!! It's a little smaller than a dinner plate and for me and a few people it it perfect. Very thick durable marble and the lid is fantastic. It fits on my top shelf in the fridge perfectly. I cut up 6-8 chunks of 4 or 5 cheeses and pepperoni and it all fits. I more than recommend this!!!!Read Best Reviews of Norpro Glass Cheese Dome with Marble Base Here
Both the glass cover and marble base are heavy and sturdy. The marble base is more sanitary than the more common wooden bases. There is simply no way to improve this cheese dome.Want Norpro Glass Cheese Dome with Marble Base Discount?

I would've given this low stars as a spatula/turner. Too small, even for eggs. Too flimsy for me. Tried it a couple of times and then it just sat there unused. ****BUT**** I needed a rubber scraper in a hurry and they were all in the sink while this was hanging on a utensil hook so I grabbed it and -oh my! It is the *****BEST***** scraper!! It scrapes a bowl or pan clean. Perfectly CLEAN!!! (Assuming the pan has soft stuff in it; in my case it was an eggy casserole kind of thing I needed to scrape out of a pan quick before the egg overcooked.) I've hated the thick-edged silicone scrapers that are all I could find in recent years. But now that I know *this* baby works so well as a scraper, I'm buying a couple more and the all the thick-edged scrapers are going to get exiled the back of the junk drawer.Want OXO Good Grips Silicone Cookie Spatula Discount?
For the price, you can't complain. The spatula appears to be durable, but we've only had it for a couple of months.

Great little kinfe sharpeners. The work far better and are easier to use than other more expensive and more difficult to use swharpeners. They do an excellent job.
I love these knives. They are truly amazing. My wife and I did a fair amount of research before we bought our set (consumer reports, etc..)and we concluded that Wusthof knives were the best. You might think that they are a bit pricey, but the are worth it. If you have never prepared a meal with a truly fine knife such as a Wusthof, then you are in for a treat. Use these knives once, and you will never want another.
Buy Wusthof Classic 10-Piece Cooking Couple's Knife Set with Block Now
At first it was hard to convince my husband, Buster, that we should invest almost all of his weekly take-home pay in a knife set. The price IS a little steep, but these are Quality knives with a Capital Q. I expect to be using them until I am 95 years old, they are that durable and well-made. The knives came safely packaged and each one is a work of art, worthy of being displayed on your kitchen wall rather than stuck into a wood block. But the wood block that came with the knives is also beautiful on the countertop. I have protected mine with a crocheted �knife-holder kozy�. So far I have used all the knives personally except for the sausage knife. You do have to be careful as these knives truly are �razor honed�, but if you do cut yourself it heals without much of a scar, as they are SO sharp and make such a clean slice. When deer season rolls around and Buster bags a deer, I will be able to try the sausage knife, as we always have some venison sausage made up. If you want a beautiful work-of-art type of kitchen utensil in your house, then save up and purchase this terrific item.Read Best Reviews of Wusthof Classic 10-Piece Cooking Couple's Knife Set with Block Here
After much thought about which "great knives" I was finally going to purchase I bought a set of the wusthof classic. I also purchased the ceramic knife sharpener to ensure my sharpening technique. The only knife that cut to any extent was the serrated one. I thought surely there must be something wrong so I sent the knives back to be professionally sharpened, but did not see any improvement. Having cooked for years using all types of knives I am thoroughly disappointed.Want Wusthof Classic 10-Piece Cooking Couple's Knife Set with Block Discount?
I got this for my wife's sunflower collection in the kitchen she loves the set they feel a little cheap but she doesn't care it's a nice addition to her dish set she has! Now just need some glasses to go with them!
OK, this is a really good steak knife. The handle is a nice, square, secure to grip with your hand. I find that it is just as good on humungous steaks as skinny ones. The blade is high carbon stainless steel that is just as good as Japanese or German ones that cost 4 or 5 times as much. Now that I am used to it, the fancy steak knives that expensive steak houses supply are pale and inefficient in comparison.
I absolutely love the color and style of this teapot. I have only had it a couple of months but we use it almost every single day and it has held up very well. I especially love that it has an insert for loose tea. We have put the tea pot in the top rack of the dishwasher with no issues. I always wash the insert by hand since it seems pretty delicate. My only complaint is that it drips pretty badly when the tea is poured. I am not sure if the top just doesn't seal well or what. I have had this problem with many teapots and as a result I do not think this issue is unique to this particular item. Overall I would recommend this beautiful piece.
I bought my first pair of these little scissors about 20 years ago and still use them today. They are practically indestructible, however I did manage to melt a spot on the handle when I accidentally laid them on a hot burner. Nevertheless, they still work perfectly and are still sharp after 20 years. I finally broke down and ordered a second pair. If they weren't quite as expensive, I would have a pair in every room. They are just so handy, and even though they are small, they will cut practically anything. They are also very comfortable to use as the handles are large enough for just about any hands.

I own three or four pairs of these scissors and wouldn't be without them. A marvel of simple, elegant design, they are tough, sharp, versatile, and comfortable. The large handle loops let you use all four fingers on one side and your whole thumb on the other -they work the same for lefties and righties -or, for even more leverage, you can grab them by the outsides of the handles, which are covered with a rubbery plastic for comfort. When I got my first pair about 25 years ago (still have 'em) I used to show off by using them to cut bottle caps in half. Yet they'll cut paper cleanly. We keep my old pair in the garden for cutting greens, pruning tomatoes, cutting twine and the like, a pair in the junk drawer for all-purpose cutting, and one in the kitchen for everything from slicing open spice packets to cutting up poultry. Can't have too many of these.Want Joyce Chen 51-0621, 6-1/4-Inch Unlimited Scissors Discount?
I have a pair of these scissors that is 35 years old, still cutting. They cut everything from plant stems to leather to food products and plastics! Quite wonderful
The item description says "soup spoons and teaspoons," which lead me to believe that the soup spoons would be really significantly large like soup spoons often are. The labeling on the set itself has them as "dinner spoons" which is much more accurate a description of the spoon size than "soup spoons" and the teaspoons are, surprisingly enough in this day and age of blown proportions, about teaspoon size. Well, maybe two teaspoons but still significantly smaller.
Affordable price and still good quality
The description says "Product Dimensions: 11.6 x 4.1 x 2.4 inches." The stone is really 6 x 1 5/8 x 3/8 inches. I returned it the second I opened my package.

We registered for and received these as a wedding present, to replace an old block of cheap knives that required a lot of sharpening but were decent. Unfortunately we took them to Goodwill upon receiving the new ones. I'd hoped to have to sharpen way less, and have knives from a quality cutlery brand. I've since learned that the International line is not of the same quality or reputation. These knives are not sharp. The micro serrated edge is not good for many things (chopping, slicing even with the tomato knife, cutting meat even with the steak knives). The steak knife tips are very thin and pointy, and a few have bent or chipped, though we have no idea how. We bought a sharpener and it doesn't help, probably because of the micro serrated edge. I will be looking into the warranty and BB&B return policy.Want J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 13-Piece Knife Set with Block Discount?

This blade is sharp to begin with, but it is also re-sharpens quite nicely. I use this blade on wild game, such as snapping turtle, bullfrogs and catfish, though I must resharpen it often, due to the bones and tough skin, the shape of the blade allows me to get meat in tough areas that a regular filet knife would shred. Now that doesn't mean that I have stopped using the filet knife, as taking the filet off the skin of a catfish is still much easier with a filet knife. I find that having this knife as well as a filet, is the equivalent to having a phillips head and a flat head screw driver, as they both serve their own purpose.Want Wenger Swibo Skinning Knife, Rigid Blade Discount?
ya, crazy sharp. I kill 5 to 7 beef a day, hand skin. Not hard to sharpen and a smooth steel will keep it sharp all day. will probably go with the 7 inch knife next time.
The knife is well made, balanced, and very sharp out of the box. I'll get more. I wish they make sturdy sleeves for this knife for better handling and keeping.
It is wonderful and will be greatly appreciated by the receipient who is an avid Arthur Court collector.
