We bought very expansive, and very nice knives, so we decided to display them in our kitchen but it was not easy to find the best way. Most commercial knife racks are made of metal which is really bad for the knives and the few wooden once we found seemed to be too expansive for what they were. With this rack, I would say , we found the perfect combination: very nice looking, solid wood and most important not dangerous for the blade! :) In a sentence: we are really happy with this product!
One pays a price for Stelton design. It's a price I'm willing to pay for such a contemporary design. It never goes out of style and maes a statement on your cheese platter
My husband says it works well and now our tool are much better to use. Easy to sharpen most tools.
After being really disappointed in the local knife sharpening availability and asking all my friends who they use (turns out most of them are not as concerned about sharp knives as I am) I turned to electric sharpeners after a friend mentioned he uses one in his business for blade cutters. I started researching, wanted to purchase the model 220 but with little availability, I decided on the 250. I am very happy with this unit. First off, I watched a number of You Tube videos about using electric sharpeners, very helpful. I carefully read the instruction manual, also, very helpful. There is a slight learning curve, but after sharpening 4 chefs knives, I was able to cut paper easily but most incredible was the ability to slice tomatoes to a very thin less than 1/4 inch cut. There are a couple of limitations to the unit. Can't use it on ceramic (I don't own any) and you won't get as great a result with Japanese style knives, but there are other models that will do the trick. My Victornox and Henkels are wonderfully sharp. Again, watch the videos, take your time, read the instuctions. A great product, assembled in the U.S.

This is one of those items that you buy, try it out once and then try fo find something better. I actually have a non-electric hand held version of this and they both sharpen part of the blade. This electric one didn't have enough power to keep the stones turning when the knife approached the tip of the blade. I used this on a variety of blade types and found that on the larger blades, it didn't sharpen about an inch of the blade nearest the handle. It might be a "Chef's Choice" but it's not mine.
Just the right length and shape to use for a multitude of tasks in the kitchen. Nice blade that looks like I can easily keep it sharp! Great quality for an affordable price.

I purchased (4) individual place settings along with additional coordinated pieces for serving for my sister. She was so stunned at how beautiful they were and said that each individual piece had a protective cover inside the box each set came in. Butterflies have a ''spiritual'' meaning between my sister and myself so when she received this gift it was a treasure for her. She said the engraved vine & butterfly on each piece was lovely. This gift was well worth the extra money spent for a higher quality of stainless steel place setting. Consuelo T. Gabriel

The set is beautiful and goes well with the rest of the Butterfly Meadow collection. But I cannot give it more than 3½ stars. Two major flaws for me are: the handle of the knife is TOO heavy and place spoon is too small for my taste.
I bought this knife to be used at tailgates because I didn't want to bring my more expensive knives out. We've been very pleased with the knife so far... has stayed sharp and has a great feel to it. Just as good as my Wusthof chef's knife.

Never had a decent chef's knife until I finally bought this based on reviews for it's cheapness and quality. Hitherto, I had an old cheap dull knife that could hardly even slice a raw potato. I had to strain to get the blade through. Then I got the Victorinox, and as I struggled to release it from it's vinyl sheath, it fell out and sliced my pinky finger. I was scared of this knife. It was the sharpest knife I ever handled. But oh man, I can't believe how effortless chopping/slicing can be. It practically will slice a potato by itself. I've had this knife for about 3 weeks and I'm still amazed when I chop up veggies and lament having been content with a crappy knife for so long.Want Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Rosewood Handle Discount?
I love this knife. It's sharper than any knife I have purchased. Stays sharp and cuts tomatoes like butter, unlike some knives that smash the tomato flat. I am slowly buying a complete Victorinox knife set a few pieces at a time. If I could afford the complete set I would buy them. Worth every dollar I've spent.
Really nice turner...my wife used it all the time as she likes the feel & the thin frontal edge. We already had one so this one is her second as she was always hand-washing it between dishwasher cleanings so I got her another one.
This set of silverware is absolutely beautiful. Even my husband commented to me about (Which he never does!). The craftsmanship is lovely, the shapes of the spoons and knife are really nice. Good quality, just a bit pricey at 50 dollars for 1 place setting! Silly me thought I was getting 5 place settings LOL!
This is a gorgeous knife. As soon as it arrived I was in awe of it. I also love the handle, it fits in the hand very well, and lets you grip outside of the danger zone of the backside of your knife. The blade is razor sharp, I have no doubs that a fast swing could cleanly remove a finger (bone included).

I love my new Shun paring knife. I use my knives a lot, for many catered events.
Not much to be said, other than this knife comes ground to the correct angle and very sharp. It also holds its edge for quite a while. It isn't the heaviest chef knife around, but if you are accustomed to the cheapo gift set knives, your hand and wrists will need to get adjusted to the heftiness of a professional instrument; expect a slight reduction in speed until your muscles catch up. But when they do, you'll wonder why you didn't get a knife like this before, it makes cutting so much easier. A major advantage to a heavy, sharp knife is that it doesn't hurt your index finger because you use less force to cut, the knife's weight and edge does the work for you, and it remains stable. So don't feel the big knives are only for the big guys like Mario, they are actually safer to use!

I've been cooking for over 15 years (I'm not that old), and I grew up in a Chinese family. A Chinese Chef knife is exactly that, it is not a cleaver, despite the resemblance. This is the one knife a Chinese chef will use in the kitchen for just about everything.

I agree with the previous reviewer: this is the sharpest, most well made Chinese chef's knife out there. However, I guarantee you won't find this knife in any authentic Chinese kitchen because this knife is just too expensive.Want Shun DM0712 Classic 7-Inch Chinese Vegetable Cleaver Discount?
Many of the other reviews critique this tool as either too expensive or that it is inadequate somehow for cleaving bones and parting out. This is a misinterpretation of what the knife is designed for. The Chinese use two different blade designs in the cleaver pattern. One is a cleaver in the western sense, in that it is an impact cutter, this pattern has a blade about 2x as thick as a vegetable pattern (like this one.)
Pros; looks cool, easy to clean, nice serving tip on the end of knife
Each fall for the past 10 years I make about 75 to 90 pounds of of saurakraut. I worry that my simple old two-knife shredder will wear out so I purchased this item as a backup. Firstly, the "current" model Weston Shredder does not have the plastic or laminate base shown. It has a thin, non-laminated, non-plastic wood base that will warp with usage. The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable. The blades are held in place with hand-hewed chips of wood wedged and glued into place. I think there is more chance of this slicer self destructing that there is of my old model wearing out.

I too own this pattern. Since the mid 80's, as I recall. Can't believe there were no reviews on this listing. Any of the great things you may have read about the looks and quality are true. I've used mine for daily use since buying, as I loved the style so much. And use most of the time for special dinners, as well.

I ordered this knife, along with 3 others from the Sekiryu Japanese knife manufacturer. All were within the same price range of about $13-17, and all have the same features, in that they have fairly thin steel blades, unfinished wooden handles, and traditional Japanese knife profiles (nakiri, deba, santoku) with kanji inscriptions on the steel. The blade itself is quite sharp out of the box, as advertised, but I was surprised to see that mine came in a Daiso box. Daiso is a Japanese dollar store retailer.

We received a Nakiri knife as a gift a few years ago. I bought two more to go with it. The style of knife is perfect for vegies, meat, and bread. This particular knife is stainless (although the blade is not marked) and is very sharp right out of the box. The natural wood handle is smooth but unfinished. I consider this an advantage because I rinse the knife often while doing prep work.Read Best Reviews of JAPANESE NAKIRI CHEF KNIFE Here
