Emeril 8 Piece Block Set

These knives are not shaped well. If you have any experience at all with kitchen knives you will notice right away that these were not designed with actual use in mind. These knives are made for looks ONLY. If you are looking for a knife set that will look ok on your counter but you never plan to use, these will work,but they are really to expensive for that.

They are also not very sharp, and they cannot easily be sharpened.

These are a classic example of putting a famous guys name on a cheap Chinese product and selling it for too much to unsuspecting consumers. I am sure Emril is laughing all the way to the bank, but he really should really be embarrassed about putting his name on this product. I am certain he does not use these crappy knives himself.

These knives are very attractive and sleek. I also got them as a gift (that I requested). With keeping the price in mind they are very good and sharp enough for the starter cook. Note that there are knives that are much better quality (sharper with better balance) but do you want to pay $500.00-$2000.00 for the set? The thing I was disappointed in was I didn't know they were made in China until after I bought them. It didn't mention anything in the reviews or product description (that I could see). But for price I should have suspected. Since I cook every single day, I would rather have either German or Japanese engineered knives; and I will also have to fork out a lot more money for them. I'll probably save these knives and give them to some lucky college graduate who is starting out with nothing and would and should certainly appreciate them. I didn't look to see if any of the knives were defective. I only tested one. However, for the price, I'd just shrug it off. One rarely gets more than what they paid for.

I received these knives as a gift. They are beautiful, but one came damaged. It looks like the knife was pinched in the press in the middle (blade side). I've been trying to contact their warranty dept for 2 days. The line is perpetually busy. I don't know what the point of a "lifetime warranty" is if I can't contact them to replace a damaged product.
