Buy J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro Stainless Steel Steak Knives, Set of 4 Now
The design incorporates Micro-serrations that catch pull and tear at what ever you are trying to cut. I have owned 4 sets for a couple of years. They sat in the drawer while we continued to use the 20 year old knives they were supposed to replace. This weekend I pulled them out and took then down to the shop where I ground off the serrations and sharpened the newly formed edge. The knives are now great!The knives are easy to hold. Handles are thick. The serated portion of the blade is small and at the tip. This takes some getting used to. Once accomplished, the knives are great. I ordered a second set.Want J.A.

We own ten of the Henckels Eversharp knives. They never dull, are nice looking, solidly made, and have the Henckels brand name on it. What more can you ask?! Excellent value.ARY Kapoosh Knife Block Black
Much better for the blades not scraping against wood.This was a Christmas gift for my wife as, she was reluctant to purchase on her own. I like this new, slotless design. The all black color is the perfect contrast to our marble countertop island. I would recommend.

I have a friend who had one and it looked and worked great, but the two we got were both cracked. finally gave up on it. might try another seller.The block I received seemed very well made and was attractive. However, my longest knives (anything over 8 inches) were not fully sheathed, which I consider dangerous. The description should note the maximum length of knife it will accommodate safely. Pros offered to split the shipping costs with me if I wanted to return, but it wasnt worth the hassle.Great addition to the kitchen! Replaces those ol boring knife blocks! Ease to clean, use and a great way to safely store knives / kitchen accessories.Prepara Salad Prep Set

Great for veggies and rough cutting for salads. you can let the kids help with the cutting if they use this set, knowing that they would have to try very hard, to injure themselves. This set allows for more family time with the kids, sharing in the prep for breakfast, lunch or dinner.These are great for chopping vegtables, and fruit, too. They work well especially with lettuce, avoiding brown spots when you have left overs.I thought I would love this based on the reviews, but I must not be a kitchen expert yet. I revert back to my metal knife and have only used these twice. But again, I'm no pro in the kitchen, so I might have bought "over my head" if you know what I mean!Meyerco Sharpen-It Knife Sharpner With Sheath
I rediscovered the pleasure of cooking with sharp knives.
Unlike a honing steel this will really sharpen blunt knives (removing some metal) and not just unbend the edge.

The quality feel, construction, fit and finish are in line with the other LamsonSharp forged knives I purchased. However, this particular knife arrived less than razor sharp. It didn't appear used but the edge wasn't very good and had to be touched up with a steel. Perhaps the blade rubbed against the packing box in transit, who knows.Want LamsonSharp 3-1/2-Inch Forged Paring Knife Discount?
When I purchased this knife there was even an extra discount on it and I was able to add a very good knife to my cutlery. It was a "steel" of a deal!It holds a good edge once you get it sharp enough. It also has a great feel to it in my hand and is a beautiful piece of craftmanship. I just love it!

This grinder is very powerful it chews up pork and beef with little effort. I was amazed after dealing with small hand cranked models or even my kitchen aid. A manual would have been great, it was a pain to figure out how to put it together and take it apart for cleaning. I haven't used the part that allows you to motorize it but it seems pretty easy if you need that much power. Make sure you have a way to bolt this down it needs a solid base.Read Best Reviews of Meat Grinder #32 W/Pulley, Meat & Sausage Stuffer Here
I was surprised at how fast this grinder chewed up meat. After a more expensive electric grinder with a small auger, this equipment was a welcome relief. The prior comment about solid mounting was well taken, as it could well grind 500 pounds of meat an hour. But that is a lot of force, so mount it securely. Don't try this clamped to the kitchen table.Want Meat Grinder #32 W/Pulley, Meat & Sausage Stuffer Discount?
I love this grinder, but after stuffing sausage for the first time with it, I realize why it has a wheel that can be motorized. My arms were tired!!!Good grinder, just make sure you mount it securely and keep your arm muscles in shape.I am from Missouri on this product. (It is going to have to "Show Me".
The first grinder came and the main bearing at the business end of the grinder was off center. I thought I could fix it myself but upon examination saw the casting itself was off center.
There was also a 3/4 inch crack through the grinding end of the casting. I sent it back.
PRI industries Inc. was EXTREMELY helpful in returning this product. I received a return shipping label the same day I inquired about a return. A new unit was promptly shipped and arrived within days of return of the original unit.
Now the problem: The new unit is also cast off center, one side of the casting is 1/4 inch thick, the opposite side is 5/8 inch. (a cheap charlie Chinese product for sure [no offense Charlie!])
I have not used this product for grinding but other reviews praised it's grinding capability so perhaps it will do the job it was bought for even if the quality of the product is not as good as I was hoping for.
Overall I will wait and see so far I'm not impressed.
Zhuhai Premium Ceramic Knife Set Includes 4" Paring Knife, 5 1/2" Chef's Knife, 6" Chef's Knife and
UPDATE: In daily use for a year and a half and still sharp.This is my first ceramic knife set and I have to say that I am not disappointed at all. I love the 3 different sizes, and I really love the holster for them because I already have a knife block and this takes up hardly any space. The knives were quite sharp and work very well on a wide range of items (but I won't use them on meat, only fresh veggies and such).I got a ceramic knife years ago, and after using it EVERYDAY for about 5 years the handle cracked and the blade came out. I was really upset, and immediately began looking for a replacement. I don't know what brand of knife I had, and I'm not even sure where I got it (But I think it may have been QVC). So after a few days of looking online I decided to give this set a try. The blades of these knives are noticeable thinner than my original, so I didn't imagine they would last long before breaking. And within just a few weeks, the blades started to get dull. I had trouble slicing a ripe tomato, and that NEVER happened with my original knife even after years of use. And now one of the blades has a small chip, and I can't recall how it was damaged. Overall, these are just kinda cheap. I'm going to have to keep looking for a quality replacement. In the meantime, I'll just keep using these until they give out (which shouldn't be long from now). I am please that I didn't waste too much money on this set.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 6-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife
Buy Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 6-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife Now
This has been my favorite knife for years -I had it so long I can't recall when I got it. I already had an excellent set of Sabatier knives, but the handles were a bit thin and had somewhat sharp corners. One day I had occasion to use a Hencklels Four-star, and instantly fell in love with the voluptuous handle. It felt soooo good in my hand. Note that I have largeish hands, if you have smaller hands this might not be the knife for you.I already had a 10" chef's knife, so I chose this 6" "sandwich" knife (that's what they called it back then). It has been my workhorse for years. I can put an edge on it that will shave hairs off my arm (but not quite off my face :-). Alas yesterday the blade snapped while cutting a sweet potato. No bending or twisting, just pressing down pretty hard, and bing! Mind you it had received daily use for well over a decade, if not two.
Now that I have to replace it, I think I'll go with an 8" blade. This 6" size was just a tad small for general purpose use, and I have plenty of other smaller knifes. I may get the 8" equivalent of exactly this knife, but am also considering the W'sthof Grand Prix II 7-Inch Fine Edge Santoku Knife. I'm hoping that design will keep my knuckles from bumping into the cutting board.
Here's a free tip: when pushing food around on the cutting board, use the BACK side of the knife. Don't drag the sharp edge across the board.I had said knife 20 years, but replace it because a home-care-giver had stolen it! (see...they know a good knife when they see it!)

I just wanted to write this review to let everyone know that this knife is very good and worth the money you'll spend, however in my opinion Henckel knives have one flaw. I can't stand the little metal piece at the bottom of the blade. It's a sort of finger guard they built into the design. I cooked for a living for three years and had the opportunity to use everything from a 25.00 plastic grip knife we used to bust up lobsters all the way to hand forged Japanese $500 knives. If you are super picky about your knives that little piece of metal will drive you nuts because it hinders the sharpening of the last inch or so of the blade. Overall I would get a Global knife if your looking for something in the same price range. It is a lighter knife but excellent quality. If your looking for something with enough heft to chop a Volkswagen bug in half the Henckel still might be for you.Sterlingcraft 72pc Heavy Gauge Surgical Stainless Steel Flatware Set 24k Gold-Plated Trim

NOTE: In use, I found the swivel peeler to be better for rounder items such as Spuds, and the Y peeler better for longer items such as Carrots and Parsnips. Horses for courses.
When something exceeds your expectations by a country mile, then it must be really good. BUY IT NOW, you won't regret it. Its macho boyfriend, the i-Series Y Peeler, is also superb, and is also a BUY IT NOW !
If you buy both, you will make them very happy, as they can then canoodle together in the drawer in the dark !I bought this & was amazed of the quality & the improvements over all the other vegetable peelers I have used in the past.
A super sharp replaceable blade, a rubber tacky grip, a vastly superior potato eye remover, and it has a great comfortable feel & balance. It has a little heft to it. Highly recommended by me!

I laughed when my mother said that one potato peeler was better than another. But then I tried using hers and I stopped laughing. If you normally use a peeler (that is, if you are not a tried-and-true knife-wielding peeler) you should try one of these. Borrow a friend's if you must. I don't know why the handle should make such a difference; you'd think the blade was the important part. Maybe the blade is better quality too, who knows. But it makes a world of difference to the person who is peeling, so much easier to peel, better control, whatever. I don't know. But the difference is amazing. I have one now, you betcha!After you get one for yourself, you might be like me and end up buying them for every bridal shower's wishing well.This is just a fantastic peeler at a very reasonable price. Has a very comfortable handle that gives you nice control. The metal construction is a nice improvement over the original OXO peeler: its potato eyer is much sharper and easier to use. The blade is ultra sharp also. Not sure if I'll ever need to replace the blade, but its a nice option to have.I've been using a dull old Kitchenaid vegetable peeler for more than a year now, and got fed up with it. The appeal (HA!) of this peeler is that the blade is replaceable. So it might get dull in a year, yes, but I won't have to shell out ten bucks for another peeler, I'll be able to shell out slightly less (hopefully!) for a replacement blade. And this blade is SO sharp. It seems much sharper than the Kitchenaid peeler's blade was, so hopefully it won't get dull as quickly.

Love these boards and how they take up so little room on the counter. Always stored the others in a cupboard, now they are easily accessible. Seemed to have held up well after several uses and runs in the dishwasher. Would have liked them to be a little bigger but they are your average size chopping board.The pictures are misleading. The first several photos shows 1 style of index cutting board, which is the one I actually wanted. The very last photo is actually what I got. I was very disappointed. Also the product took very long to ship and the tracking information provided was very unreliable.

These are pretty good knives for the price. I have a set of Wustoff Grand Prix at home, these are no where near as nice, but they get the job done. the knives are a little light, so they are not as confidence inspiring as the Wustoff, but this set costs a fraction of the price of a Wustoff chef's knife, so they are a good value. If you have never owned a set of good knives, you will be extremely happy with these...heck, for the price, you may be happy no matter what. 3 stars on the knives, 5 stars on the value.Tramontina 3 Pc.

My final word on them is that those who can afford the Classic line (and I truly wish I was one of them) should purchase the Classic. But for those who can't, don't be shy about purchasing Gourmet. You'll get what you pay for, and since you're paying for Wusthof, how disappointed can you be?Just received these knives and they seem to be a fine set of steak knives. However, I noticed that these gourmet series (with the exception of the 8" chef's knife), use different steel than their more expensive classic series. Specifically, the classic series uses "X50CrMn15" material, whereas these gourmet series uses "X46Cr13". The major difference being that X46Cr13 contains less carbon (0.5% vs. 0.46%) and that it does not contain Mn (molybdenum), which is needed for knives to be totally dishwasher safe. ...
Buy Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set Now
Wusthof is a producer of quality knives, but double check your order, especially if you ordered more than one knife at a time. I have read many consumer reviews on the block set where consumers found that only a couple knives from the set were quality while the rest were not. I received a block set (8130) of Wusthof knives for Christmas. After close investigation, I noticed that most of the knives were not what I ordered. While I ordered the Gourmet line, most of the knives received were of much lesser quality. Only three knives were the actual gourmet line of knives as they are stamped with serial numbers. If your knives are stamped with a number beginning with "8", then chances are you received the incorrect knives in the set. Wusthof quality knives begin with the number four (including Grand Prix, Culinare, Gourmet, etc). I have contacted both the Food Network and Wusthof to make them aware of this issue. It appears there has been a problem in the shipping area of one of the two. The Food Network has been great when speaking with them. I want to make sure everyone has actually received what they have paid for. As far as the three Gourmet knives I received, they are very good quality. I sent the entire block back (paid for by the Food Network) and am looking forward to "playing" with my new set of Gourmet knives.Read Best Reviews of Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set Here
I searched through Amazon looking at the different steak knives and their reviews. I decided on these because of the following: 1. They appeared to be of a medium vice entry quality; 2. They are non-serrated thereby allowing me to sharpen at home using my honing steel and/or knife sharpener; and 3. They go well with my mid-quality J. A. Henckels International Classic kitchen knives. I am not a knife expert, but an average person would be hard pressed to not like or find any material fault with these steak knives. I noticed one reviewer mention that they were a bit thinner than other Wusthof knives. However, I found them to be reasonably thick (they are not tinny) and quite satisfactory. They are steak knives, not kitchen knives. I feel this is a good quality product and am well satisfied with my purchase of them. I hope this review helps fellow Amazon customers because I know many of the reviews for steak knives are quite diverse.Want Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set Discount?
These are by no means cheap knives. They are inexpensive relative to the quality they deliver. The knives I really wanted were also from Wusthof. Unfortunately, they were $180.00. So the decision was between a.) the best knives which will last a lifetime or b.) the best knives which will last 25 years for less than a third of the price.The gourmet series knives cut through steak like "buttah". They feel good and well balanced in the hand. The fact that it's not a full tang has no effect on the usefulness or performance so I am happy with these knives and recommend them to you if you want the best and if money IS an object.
