Joseph Joseph Index Plus, Chopping System

So, I saw this at a local, high-end store and thought it was such a practical item and would eliminate all the clutter in my cabinets of cutting boards and knives. I of course bought it at amazon instead of the high-priced store. I haven't returned it yet, but am pretty close to deciding it needs to be done. The knives are already getting very dull after a little over a month and I don't use them all that often. The boards are not very forgiving and are wearing way faster than my other "cheapy" cutting boards that I got rid of. I'm not sure I would reccomend this one. Wish I could though. The design is what really drew me in.

Firstly I must say that I like the design from Joseph Joseph allot, I bought a bunch of things from them lately, bowls, utensils etc. and the look of these items are great, the colors and shape makes them very stylish in the kitchen, what's missing however is the quality especially when considering what you pay for these things.

So what about the Index Plus Chopping System, well again it looks great with the stand and the nice colors on the boards and matching knives, but the boards are quit small and I find them very slippery. I would have wanted a rougher surface on at least on side so that they don't slide when I use them. The knives are pretty decent but I prefer my Victorinox kitchen knives that I have used for years, they have stayed very sharp with proper care and the grip on those knives are much better. I do like that Joseph Joseph have matched each chopping board to a specific knife, my wife just loves that because she find all my other knives to confusing so if you want a simple way of choosing the best knife for the job this chopping system is for you.

Something that I also find a bit odd is that there is one chopping board for vegetables, one for fish, one for meat and then one for cooked food. I would have wanted one for chicken instead of one for cooked food, for me that would have made more sense, of coarse I can always use the white board for chicken if I want but it was one of those minor details that annoy me.

So if space is limited and you want a simple system for boards and knives then this is a great deal, but if you have space you're better of buying individual knives and a large wooden chopping board.

We bought this from local store ($120) because it looked stylish and "felt" durable. After a few uses, we noticed rust spots on the knives. In addition, there are nothing on bottom of cutting board so they are prone to sliding around on counter. I cannot recommend this to the serious chef or someone who would use it everyday.

The product itself is a little smaller than I thought it would be. I'm hoping that this will help the anti chefs in my house with food prep. we will see. also dont know how to clean holder seems a little unsanitary. put an improperly washed meat board away, it drains to the bottom and has now contaminated your vegetable board.

Bought this item in December and the knives are rusting and pitting. If you do not dry them as soon as you wash them they will rust. I have knives that are thirty years old and they never rust.
