Wusthof Culinar 10-Inch Super Slicer Wavy Serrated Knife

I wanted to replace my cheap knife block set with a great one that can last a generation and found Wushtof Culinar Series to my liking. Initially, I thought the metallic handle could be slippery. So, I went to a local store and tested it and found it to be be very very grippy and solid to hold. I liked how these...

Paderno World Cuisine 14 1/8" Chef's Knife with Forged Blade

I had to ask my self three questions when I purchased this knife. Was it a good deal? Yes, for the amount i paid for it (under $35 shipped, used like new), and the quality of the steel, I would have been happy with almost any sized knife. But do you need a knife this big? Can is possibly be useful? HELL...

Winsome Wood Kitchen Cart, Natural

The first thing I can tell you is to make SURE you put the legs in the correct position exactly as pictured or you will put it together twice like I did. Construction was not difficult, took me 1 1/2 hours counting the time it took to disassemble and reassemble the legs.The screws are very tight going in, which...

Jackson Steakhouse 4 Piece Knife Set

These are great looking knives and comfortable in hand.Not just for steak, they have multiple uses, including slicing and choppingand the price is rig...

Shun Ken Onion 5-Inch Utility Knife

This 5" Utility knife is as outstanding and satisfying as any other Shun Ken Onion knife. I have no doubt that I will use it frequently for a lifetime. Prior to purchase, I was looking for an excellent knife that was slightly longer than my Wustof 3.5" paring knife and was more multi-purpose for small-to-medium...

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife

Based on advise from a friend, I purchased this knife as a backup to my 8" chef's blade and have been very happy with it. It is very well balanced for vegetable preparation. I also find it's wide flat blade better than a chef's knife for long even 'precision slicing'.I have had this knife for a couple of years...

Catskill Craftsmen 12-Inch Small Utility Poly Cutting Board with Groove

The cutting boards are not half inch thick as advertised; they measure approximately 9 mm thick. The boards are also not very flat; they are a bit cupped on the back side. In summary, the boards are not only misrepresented but also of poor manufacturing quality. Even for the low price they are not worth buying...

Wusthof 24-1 12-Inch Magnetic Knife holder

this is O.K. for small knives, but the magnet is not strong enough to hold much more. I have two other magnet strips that are both better than this one.The dimensions on this item are incorrect. The magnet portion may be 12 inches but the overall dimensions are closer to 13 1/2, so don't buy it thinking (like...

Friedr Dick Plaza Chef's Knife Set

I bought this gift for my son when he started culinary school.It was the right choice. He absolutely loved it.The knives keep their edge amazingly well. The sharpening steel became known in my son's culinary class as the "magic steel" because of it's ability to hone a knife so quickly and well.The knives are...

Messermeister 3-Inch Sheep's Foot Parer with Matching Sheath, White

There are a lot of different paring knife designs: spear points, clip points, bird's beaks and sheep's foot knives for example. Messermeister makes some of the best.Each paring knife has its particular uses. You wouldn't try to core a strawberry with a sheep's foot. But, if you wanted to slice up a mushroom or...

TOWLE GIFTWARE COPENHAGEN 2PC CAKE

I purchased these for my daughter's wedding. The price was very reasonable, and the pieces were beautiful. They were very simple, and could have easily been engraved. We put tulle and flowers around the handles, and they looked like they cost a lot more than they did. I really recommend these piec...

Presto 08800 EverSharp Electric Knife Sharpener

I read all the reviews before buying and just had to write my review (my first ever of any product). I have worked in kitchens in the past and prepare meals regularly. I am a cajun cook and we chop crazy amounts of onions, celery, garlic, bell peppers and everything else from the garden. I also have a catfish...

Kuhn Rikon 6" Kulu Herb And Vegetable Knife - Red

Herb & Vegetable KnifeThis knife cuts better when it's cutting someting like herbs. It cuts better with something small and thin.Although we (my husband & I) have only used this knife only a few times, we decided to continue to use it and see if it's a knife worth keeping.iThis is really great for things...

Yamazaki Hafnia Dinner Knife

Good product. I like the feel and the weight. The knives and forks especially. I like a salad fork that is 4 prong like the dinner fork, just a smaller version.Save 55% ...

Old Hickory Camping Picnic Watermelon Knife

The blade seems fine. But the handle is made of plastic and looks short and cheap. Several months ago when watermellons were in season, I did not see this knife. Now I at least have one although I would not use it for 8 months or so. (This is written in November 2011).Update June, 2012. No it is not an OK knife....

Kitchen Cart, Deluxe By Winsome Wood

The cart is great, aside from two issues. First, I can't get the dowel off that's supposed to hold paper towels. As I hadn't planned on using this, it's not a big deal, but as the picture shows that it's intended to be used that way, I would expect it to work. Secondly, the way the cart is designed around...

Lipper International Bamboo Knife Block

I have one of these for my kitchen knife drawer at home and wanted to be able to protect my cooking knives while traveling but the drawers in our motor coach are too narrow for the ones I've found. When I saw this, I decided to give it a try. It's just perfect!. It keeps all of my cooking knives, paring knives...
