Swissmar Petite Cheese Knife Set, #SK8214SS

I was rather surprised by how light these are from the picture I imagined them to be rather heavy in the hand. The handles must have hollow cores or something. It's not a diss on production the weight is well balanced and they don't feel flimsy, just light. The one blade shaped like a straight razor (for semi...

Mundial SCRYW5688E-3 3-1/2-Inch Serrated Edge Sandwich Spreader, Set of 3, Red

Simple, straight forward, multi-colored spatulas. Built well, shipped quickly, arrived quickly.Remember that old movie called "UHF" with Weird Al Yankievicz. In it they have repeating commercials about "spatulas". One ad has the owner stating "I loved the product so much I bought the company." "Spatula City",...

Chef's Choice M410 Crystal Crafter

I have looked for some time for a tool or sandpaper to smooth chips in china, and was delighted to see this demonstrated on television. I searched via Amazon and found exactly what I wanted. The product was delivered in a timely manner, the seller was attentive and the item is just as advertised. Thanks.This...

Waring KS80 Knife Sharpener, Black and Brushed Stainless

After my wife complained that our kitchen knives were getting too dull to use, I set out to find a good knife sharpener for household use. I researched a bit and found several options both manual and electric. One name that kept popping up was "Chef's Choice" and I noticed very few negative comments on their...

Villeroy & Boch French Garden 5 Piece Place Setting

I am from Germany and love Villeroy & Boch which is a German company and very popular for its tableware (mostly for its dishes, not so much for its flatware).When moving to the United States I was surprised that the selection of silverware is more limited than the one in Germany.The silverware available in...

Set 4 Wallace Taos Stainless Steel Steak Knives

PURCHASED. 3 SETS VERY NICE ... I have owned. My 1st. set for 10 yrs. still look great ... Great addition. For a western home :)We've had the Taos stainless steel ware for years. Recently found the steak knives to go with it. These are a good complement to the rest of the set.Buy Set 4 Wallace Taos Stainless...

Mrs. Anderson's Baking Chocolate Chipper

I buy the big blocks (5 kg) of Callebaut dark chocolate for baking. Until buying this great little tool, I used a 10" chef's knife to divide the block and chop the chocolate as necessary. For the unskilled or inexperienced, this can be dangerous and a little scary, and while it gets the job done, it feels clumsy...

Farberware Color Paring Knives, Mixed Colors, Set of 4

I started using these knives a few years ago because I happen to see them in a local hardware store. They worked so well for so many different usages that I actually wore them out. I spent almost a full day going from store to store trying to find the EXACT brand, shape, and color but could not. I finally...

OXO Good Grips Professional 3-1/2-Inch Paring Knife

These knives are a great value. They perform as well as some more expensive knives that I own, and seem to retain the blade longer. The handles are very comfortable. Overall very good knives for the money.Great little paring knife for everyday use. It does need to be sharpened frequently. Luckily I have the...

YOSHIHIRO- Namiuchi Ao-ko / Blue Steel Yanagi Kiritsuke Sword Sashimi Sushi Chef Knife 10.5" 270mm

Recieved this knive today and it looked beautiful. Having been a chef for 30 years I was looking forward to trying a new knife. To start this blade is absolutely incredible! All superlatives! I cut some tuna and salmon for sashimi and it was like cutting through warm butter. EFFORTLESS! It was if the weight of...

Stainless Steel Lobster Seafood Fork, Set of 4

I love these things. They're exactly what I needed for cracking crab legs. I typically use the forks provided in the restaurant, but end up twisting them up in the process... and they don't work nearly as well as these forks do! The nice thing about these is the serrated tines, which make speedy work of opening...

Wood Utility/Bread Cutting Boards

I needed one to replace the one that came with our cabinets. The one I had was warped too much to fit into the slides. This one is a perfect fit for that. It has a notched edge on each end so you can reach in and grab it to pull it out. I use it all the time and it works wellI am adding on here in December because...

Mountain Woods Acacia Wood Cutting Board with Steel Band

I have had this board exactly one year. It was oiled regularly. It just cracked completely through. I was initially impressed. Don't waste your money. It does not last. I called the manufacterer and they had no interest in returns or partial credit/replacement. Avoid the product. This review is based on one year...

Tuftop Fleur du Soliel Cutting Board

I have one very similar to the one I recently purchased. My son admired my old one and wanted one. I really didn't want to part with mine so went surfing. He is enjoying it and said it just what he wanted.Save 26% ...

Richardson Sheffield 5-Piece Gripi Knife Set with Wooden Block, Purple

Not only is the colour perfect for my kitchen but, unlike many decorative items, it's functional too. The knives cut beautifully.They seem good quality, however expect better finishing knife handles. The purple color is a little pale in reality, because in the photos a more intense look. However they have good...

Stainless Steel Crinkle Cut Knife By MSC

This particular crinkle cut knife replaces an old time favorite I lost in a house fire. After an extensive search in my local stores including several "kitchen outlets" I went straight to Amazon to find one of my favorite kitchen tools.The price is perfect, the quality and craftsmanship is easily evident plus...

Core Bamboo Classic Two-Tone Board Combo Pack, Natural, Small/Medium/Large

I purchased these at Ross for $10. They got a really weird smell after I oiled them but it went away after a few washes, I should mention I have a very sensitive nose so the smell probably wasnt that bad. They have splintered/pilled a little but that may be a characteristic of bamboo, not sure cause these are...

Magisso Cake Server - Purple Plastic

Alton Brown refuses to buy any kitchen instrument with only one purpose, and this one has 2 very nice ones for me. I have it hanging on my kitchen wall to bring a nice little ambiance of modern art to the place and it does work relatively well for cutting cake. I've so far bought one for myself and given 3...

Mundial R5610-10 10-Inch Cook's Knife, Red

This knife is really big. Excellent for chopping up a lot of stuff. Also, it's pretty sturdy. I've had it for a several months and it's holding it's edge nicely. It's a breeze to clean.But like I said it's really big. I know it says ten inches, and you think, 'A ten inch knife.' But ten inches is how long the...

Professional Series 8" Chef Knife

This is a nice heavy, good quality chef's knife for those who really like the weight of a heavier knife while cooking. It came very well packed in a plastic sleeve as well as a cardboard case with Viking metal rivets so I saved that to store it when not in use. Great knife for the pri...

Kyocera Ceramic 4.5 Inch Utility Knife

What a knife! I did not buy this particular knife from Amazon, but was an impulse buy at an asian market which had these at a competitive price.The blade almost looks like a cheap plastic utensil, but don't let the looks deceive you. . . this knife is sharp! There was no sleeve in the packaging, and I got a...

Rosewill RHKN-11001 14-Piece Stainless Stell Knife Cutlery Block Set

Probably the best kitchen knife set I've owned to date. I was so impressed by them that I ordered a second batch for my mother-in-law, who is an insanely dedicated cooking fanatic: She loves 'em, or at least she claims she does. She tends to spin them around in her hands with a look of burning hatred when she...
