Cutlery Reviews

We had to return our first set since they started rusting after the FIRST run through the dishwasher. They're sharp, but high maintenance.

This is a nice set. They are not the sharpest knives I've ever used, but if you work on them with a good sharpener for a bit, they're fine. I'm not so sure how much they hold an edge for, but they look like they're good quality. They're cetainly very beautiful.

These steak knives cut through steak so easily---it is hard to believe that you are cutting meat. I would highly recommend the Henckels steak knife set. I ordered this set to go with the full Henckels knife set that we had already purchased & found that this is truly the best set of knives we have ever owned. Most likely this will be the last set we need to purchase since they stay sharp & are extremely well constructed.

These knives are great. They are very sharp and of high quality.

henckels is the best. will never buy any other. The best steel, love the way they cut great balance. you cant beat the price. luv luv luv them. Rose Petito

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 use this board for veggies. It is large enough that you can cut a variety of veggies at once. It is resistant to knife marks and is easy to use. Highly recommend!

I just recently ordered and received this item (with lightening fast speed) and I am really impressed. I won a set of nice Chicago Cutlery knives in a survey contest and started doing some research on how to keep them nice and sharp for the longest time possible. I found out a nice good board of maple or cherry that was at least an inch thick was the best bet. I am following the oiling instructions since before I didn't do that and all of my cutting boards would split. Also, not allowing my hubby to put them in the dishwasher is a good idea as well. It looks like it will stand up to the job and it is big enough to carve a ham or roast so we love it!

This cutting board is the right size and has the right "ergonomics." Though it could easily be a "both sides" type cutting board, you'll likely only use the top side with it's perimeter juice groove (sorry, don't know what it's normally called--perhaps PJG will catch on...) and the classy "Chicago Cutlery" moniker burned-in to the face. But, hey, we just talking about wooden cutting boards, right? What besides good size, the right weight, and a PJG do you need? Well folks, this board has got it! It's beautiful cherry color--not pine or plastic-colored but truly gorgeous cherrywood coloration. And after seasoning my new board with mineral oil before first use the deep color was only enhanced. This board is a fine product.

3 swipes and your knife is sharp on both sides of the edge. The sharpener folds up neatly into a little case the size of a man's wallet and is easy to store. The Handy House ships immediately..I got my package within 3 days. I love the knife sharpener, and love the service I received. Thanks

I bought this knife sharpener because I was tired of knives that would not cut & the vender I brought it from, The Handy House, told me that it worked and I had bought things from her before on her word. And it works. My knifes are old & dull. A few swips through the sharpener blade & I had a brand new knife & the price is also good.

I have had these knives for over a year and of all the knives I have owned they are the best. They may not compare to the high-end knives made by this brand, but they are great for the typical family. I am very very satisfied with them!

great set of knives! perfect for any uses and i am reasonably pleased with all facets of each knife included!

I looked for a while at different knife sharpeners. Most of them are too bulky and I did not have space to store them. And they were too expensive. This little one is compact and does the job very well. It took me about 15 minutes to sharpen all my knives - under a minute for each knife. Instructions are clear and easy to follow.

For those who have purchased this product, does it come with a protective cover that slides on and off?

After trying to zest using a hand grater, and having to do twice as many limes as my Key Lime Pie recipe called for and zesting my fingers as well, I swore next time I made one I would somehow find and buy pre-packaged lime zest, if it existed. But then I remembered that my cousin had given me a zester as a gift years ago back before I cooked much. At the time she told me that this zester was all the rage in cooking, so I kept it in my utensil drawer all these years. Was I ever glad when I found out that it was a Microplane Zester. I tried the pie again, and I had an almost effortless piles of zest in a few minutes. My boyfriend was impressed how easy it was compared to last time, and tried it and even finished all of the limes since it was so easy. Sorry, Band-Aids, I don't need you when I'm making zest anymore now that I have the Microplane Zester.

I had been searching for a knife set for quite some time. I wasn't sure, however, if I was prepared to pay for the more expensive sets. I saw this set at a major department store on sale, so I went ahead and bought it. My first impression was that the knives are sharp, very stylish, well balanced, and not too heavy. The latter is a wonderful feature, especially for my husband who suffers from carpel tunnel syndrome. He feels the knives are a very comfortable grip. Their sharpness actually makes chopping and dicing a fun task.
A minor drawback from this set is that the vault is rather bulky and takes up a bit more counter space than an average wood block. Also, another more important drawback I noticed was that you need to wash and dry these knives almost immediately after using them otherwise they will begin to develop rust spots. This actually disappointed me very much and I tried contacting Cuisinart but to no avail. So, I will keep my set and continue to make sure they don't sit for too long after being used. For this reason I give this set 3 stars. I would like to give 3.5 but that option does not exist in this rating system.

I have several sets, by several manufacturers. These are the ones I use the most. Very sharp, and they keep their sharpness. Be very careful with these knives. Regarding the issue of needing to dry these after washing them. Yes that is correct. Now they don't rust, and really the tarnishing is very slight should you leave them wet (and will clean off with barkeepers helper, the same thing you use on Calphalon pans, available at Walmart for $1.50). You can't put good knives in a dish washer anyway, it is no big deal to give them a wipe. Just be careful not to cut yourself. However, one must understand that there is an inverse relation between sharpness/durability of edge, and "stainless" quality. These knives use a alloy that finds a balance between not rusting, and still being easy to sharpen to a fine edge, keeping a good edge for a long time. I personally will take sharper knives, and take 5 seconds to wipe them and put them away immediately. I don't think you can find knives of better quality at this price.

My sister suggested I try a magnetic bar for my knives. I bought this one and wonder why it took me all these years to do it! I can put a whole knife collection on the bar (I have 3 chefs knives and a about 8 other assorted knives.) I also keep my kitchen scissors on the bar. It is off the counter and out of the way. I think this is a great way to store your knives. My knife block is going to the thrift store. I gave it only 4 stars because I have had it only a few months and I do not know how it will last.

This item is extremely well built, sturdy and very easily mounted, with easy removal should it be necessary for moving, remodeling, etc. Extremely good with holding lOTS of knives of all sizes. For lack of horizontal space to mount, I had to mount it vertically, and attach knives on an angle - even with this unusual mounting, the knives are held very securely and do not shift or slip. I am VERY pleased with this product.

Contrary to other information you'll find here, this knife bar is not too heavy, nor are the magnets anything but perfectly powered.

The mounting hardware provided will safely mount the holder to any horizontal surface, even drywall. All you need is a drill and a screwdriver. It takes about five minutes.

The magnets are strong, but not too strong. Weak hands can always slide a knife off instead of the brute force horizontal yanking method.

I purchased two of these and mounted them under my cabinets. One wouldn't be large enough to store all of my metallic goodies. In addition to knives and cleavers, I also stick accessories like my peeler on there. The knife bar is so stylish and its stored items so conveniently located that there's no notion of clutter.

These are a must-have for any kitchen.
