Shun DMS300 Classic 3-Piece Boxed Cutlery Set

The best knives I've ever owned, bar none. They come with a razor edge and are easy to re-hone with just a few strokes on the Kershaw-Shun steel (well worth purchasing to accompany this set). The damascus pattern and perfectly crafted profile slice through darn near anything (food-like anyway) with ease. I also...

MinoSharp Sharpening Guides 2-Piece Set

People who criticise this product simply don't know how to use them. My own experience as an amateur, who wants really sharp kitchen knives, is as follows:For sharpening kitchen knives to that really razor sharp edge, you must use sharpening stones (I recommend Japanese waterstones, Shapton, Ice Bear or King...

Oneida Azalea 20-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 4

We needed to supplement the flatware we already had and I was happy to find the style on here. I like that I can buy spoons and forks, etc. separately as well.It looks nice but the design is uncomfortable to hold. The back of the silverware is dished so there's a square corner on the back corner edges. Poor design...

UV 6 piece Fruit and Vegetable Carving Set

Although the seller I bought these from overcharges severely for S&H, I have had trouble finding this set. I wanted this set (or one like it) for some time. Everyone who sells these sets seems to sell the kind with the wooden handles (which I do not like, as a personal choice), or without this many size...

Shenzhen Knives White Ceramic Slicing Knife, 5-Inch

While I can't yet address durability issues with either of my Shenzhen knives, I have to say that these knives make a very good first impression. I've waited a long time for ceramic knife prices to drop down into the consumer range, and I've yet to be disappointed with any ceramic I've purchased.Things you'll...

Global G-47 - 10 inch, 25cm Two-Sided Sashimi-YO Slicer

This one looks great. Functionality? so-so. It's heavy! It's hard to grip. My fingers just weren't comfortable holding it. It just didn't feel right. One slip from your hand and your fingers are on the edge. The slippery handle wasn't design with a "stop". There's nothing separating the handle and the blade....

Tobacco Pipe 3-in-1 Tool - Classic Wood & Stainless Steel - Tamper, Reamer & Pick

I've had mine for years, and aside from nearly losing it several times, I have no complaints. The actual tamper can come unscrewed after years of pocket wear, but a drop of thread locker takes care of that. It's much better built than the typical "pipe tool," and is so much better than dirtying up your pocket...

I love these knives!!! I received some of these knives years ago as a gift from someone who went to Switzerland, and I loved them,so I thought I would order some more. They are very sharp, lightweight yet extremely durable and look good enough to use at the dinner table.6 Piece Spear Tip with Wavy Edge Steak...

Cooks Fork, Forged, Extra Heavy

A nice fork for the money. Very solid but not as good looking as the picture. If the wood were the color as shown it would rate four stars from me. That could be my individual unit.This a great fork for using on a HOT grill!It heavy and stiff enough to flip the large piecesof meat on the back of the grill and...

Mundial B5604-7GE 7-Inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, Blue

I helped a friend at a commercial kitchen, and I loved their Mundial knives. I decided to buy one. I got a santoku with the hollow-ground sides.It's a very well-made (inexpensive) knife. It takes an edge fast. It stands up to the dishwasher. The price is great. But there is something about the balance and blade...

Farberware Classic 30-Piece Cutlery Carousel Set

I bought these for an apartment up by college. It came with everything I needed and a easy storage unit. Very pleased.The only reason for the four-star rating is because one of my steak knives broke it's handle while I was cutting cheese. I have had no other problems with this set, so I am assuming that was just...

Mundial 5100 Series 6-Inch Utility Knife with Serrated Edge, Black

This is great knife for paring and small jobs in the kitchen. It comes sharp and very easy to sharpen.I own some Wusthofs and Henckels, and this knife falls into the same category without a doubt. Great quality, sharp as a razor and good looking, too. It's easily worth double. 5 or 6 inch serrated knife is a...

Global 8 in. Bread Knife, Serrated G-22

I received this knife as a wedding gift and use it quite frequently. My wife and I eat a lot of home-baked bread and find ourselves reaching for the Global every time. This knife makes cutting bread fun. I actually look forward to slicing bread with this knife. A maximum of 2 slices is all it takes to get through...
