Knife Blocks and Storage Reviews

For 19.99 this is an "OK" starter set of knives. The blades are all serrated so you don't have to worry about sharpening them. They are EXTREMELY sharp. The set looks amazing out of the box. HOWEVER, after washing the knives only one time, the black handles are fading badly. The once pure black handles are now a faded, and "used" looking black. The blades on 4 of the larger knives are rusting BADLY. They look horrendous after only one wash in the dishwasher. It's obvious that the grade of Stainless Steel they are using is extremely poor. It's a shame because at a glance these look like fantastic knives. Heavy duty, thick blades, full tang, beautiful block, etc... I would save my $20 and go elsewhere. Unless you want to take a shot at hand washing and hand drying them every time you use them.

I bought this attractice cutlery set about 2 months ago. I am extremely pleased with the quality of this set. Use of the utensils has been made easy by their ergonomically correct handles, the high quaulity steel blades are sharp and ready for any project. I am very particular about my paring knives and the one included in this set is now my favorite one. Overall this is a great value for the money. The only con: they are not meant to be put in the diswasher. (I'm a little lazy) The steel blades are fine, but the handles tend to discolor a little. I love this set so much, I bought another to store for that day that I lose or damage a first piece. :-)

If You Are Looking For Fancy Chef's Knives - Why Did You Click On A $19.99 Set In The First Place? If You Are Wanting To Acquire A Useful Set Of Knives At A Great Price That Look And Feel Great And Require No Sharpening Then This Set Is Fantastic. I Could Not Be Happier And Purchased Three More Sets As Gifts The Day After I Received My First Set. Target Was Selling These Knives For A Hundred Dollars And I Saw Many Sets In The Store For 40 - 50- 60 Dollars That Did Not Come Close To The Quality Of These Knives. Unbelievable Value For The Money.

Great set I just wish the larger knives would of been sharper, but that's ok it come with a sharpner

I bought these to use at home, where I cook 4-5 nights per week. I have had my set for over a year now, and am very pleased with them. All the knives have stayed so sharp that I did not need to sharpen them. I like the versatility of having so many different knives and they look great in the block on my counter. I am very pleased with my purchase!
If I worked in a restaurant and did hours of prep work, I would probably want a set with more heft, but these are fine for me. And what a price!

I got exactly what it said it was and it arrived quickly and in great condition. It has every cutting implement I could want and it is all very good quality. I am completely thrilled. It is a very good buy for the money and I was impressed.

I got this set after reading the reviews. And guess what..the reviews are wrong.

I used one knife so far, it was sharp and good. I used it and cleaned it with water and put it in the wooden block. The next day I had trouble taking it off from the block. After I did I saw it had rust!

Yes, thats right, it rusted.

I dont care how ergonomical it is if it rusts after a single use!

You will regret if you buy this awful set.

As this was being shipped, and with my luck, I was quite anxious that I would receive a bad knife block set. Surprisingly, it's held up fine and served me well. No rust; blades are still as sharp as new (I've been cooking a *lot* lately); handles are fine; rivets still intact.

With the # of pieces in this set, however, I must say, what a HUGE value this is!

The product is exactly as pictured. It fits all my largest knives, including several types of chef knives. The raised slots are plenty wide to accomodate wider handles from an assortment of knives from various brands. Some of the other knife blocks brands have narrower slots for the raised section, but this one has plenty of room for all of my knives, including my Chicago Cutlery knives. The knife block fits well in my drawer when full. The block seems to be plenty longer than my longest knives.

This knife holder is very good quality and fit exactly as intended. I looked into others and this one was less expensive, more compact and is nice looking.

These are quality knives and remain sharp for a good while. They work exclnt. I am pleased with this product and it was a great price. I do recommend.

This price can not be beat! I use the knives all the time and they are working great so far.

We have nothing but Henckels in our kitchen, as we love to cook, and everyone who cooks knows the value of good knives.

I bought these without a second thought as I am used to Henckels quality. What a surprise we got! Made somewhere in Asia at bargain basement prices, I'm sure...

While these probably do cut steak as well as any cheap serrated knife would, if you are buying them because they are Henckels and you expect a certain quality - don't.

We returned these promptly.

I was looking at another Henckels set for a couple of hundred bucks. I just could not justify spending that kind of money for steak knives. I saw these and figured I could return them if they were too cheap. For $50 they are a super value. They don't have the weight of more expensive knives, but they are well built. I like the serrated edge. Cuts through a steak with very little effort. Block is a quality piece of wood. I'm very pleased and glad I did not spend $150 more for steak knives.

We are very pleased with the product sharpness, design weight and holder. Great value for the money.

I am so picky about my knives---I want Wusthof but the price.....I've tried Henkles and other less expensive brands like Miracle Blade etc. but KitchenAid never fails to please me. The first time I used my new knives I was cutting pockets into partially frozen pork chops and ended up needing 6 stitches in my thumb! I do wish I had one more serrated blade, but other than that A+

Love it--fits on my counter and is a great addition to my red Kitchenaid kitchen
