Hey, you get what you pay for.
I shopped around quite a bit online for a cheap, but decent knife set.I have a mixed set of decent knives, but I wanted something that matched (call me vain).These DID fit the bill: they're cheap (I picked them up for around 80 during a Friday sale), sharp, and all match.
Sharp but a little light
I was really excited about ordering these knives.I ordered them and they even arrived a couple days early.Thanks Amazon. However, I tore into the box and I have to say I am a little disappointed.The knives are sharp and the "vault" is pretty cool.My biggest complaint is that the knives feel very light.They do not have the heavy feel that other high end knives have.The handles on this set are hollow and "ping" if you accidently hit them on something.I have given three stars because they are sharp and I still think they are decent knives for the money.I just want to set the expectation of a light feel.If the weight of the knives is not an issue for you then I recommend you buy these knives.If you are like me and want to know you are holding something then I would keep looking for another set.

Excellent and highly recommended!
I like this cutlery set very much. So many friends asked me about them because they do get noticed. They are light and sharp, and the design is super. I think that they make a great contribution to a modern kitchen. Recommended. ... Read more

Any person that has ever tried to slice the golden crust of a baguette with a paring knife, or to peel an apple with a chef’s knife, knows the importance of stocking a wide variety of cutlery in the kitchen.

From the International Traditions cutlery line, the 14-piece set comes equipped with a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, 4-1/2-inch utility knife, 5-inch boning knife, 8-inch slicer, 8-inch chef’s knife, 8-inch bread knife, six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, kitchen shears, and knife block. With this wide variety of blades, the set makes a wonderful housewarming gift for a young family establishing their first household. Read more

420 is a terrible steel to use in a knife
You don't need to be a metallurist to know that steel in the 420 series is an extremely bad choice for most knives, unless it is a diver's knife or some other knife where resistance to corrosion is particularly important. All you need is some basic research (visit some metalsmithing sites, etc). I recently started work with Cutco Cutlery, and being a skeptic at heart, I did some extensive online homework independently before I was ready to accept Cutco's claim of making the world's finest.
Totally amazing kinves for the price!!!!!!
These knives are amazing for the price. you can't beat it! they are sturdy, cut amazingly well, never need to be sharpened and i haven't had any problems with rust! I never put them in the dishwasher because i know that they would probably start to rust. its so easy just to hand wash them. Nothing will stick the to blade so its an easy rinse wipe and your done!! For anyone looking to buy great knives but don't want to spend a lot of dough, this is the buy for sure!

Good Knives Are Not Suppose To Go In a Dishwasher!
Obviously the people who gave a bad review on these knives all just lazily threw their knives into the dishwasher. GOOD QUALITY KNIVES SHOULDN'T BE THROWN IN A DISHWASHER. HAND WASH ONLY! I don't care if the label said it was dish washer safe. Don't always believe what you read. Dish washer safe is on alot of things, but sometimes the dish washer doesn't even do the best of jobs. ALL KNIVES ARE TO BE HAND WASHED! The dish washer will damage the blade. And you must have the common sense to think that anything sharp thrown into a dish washer is going to get thrown around and the tip banging against things will eventually become worn to the point where you can't even sharpen it the best anymore. Oh...and...STAINLESS STEEL MEANS SPOT-FREE WHEN IT DRIES AND SUCH, NOT RUST-FREE!!!!!! Some people shouldn't be given knives. ... Read more

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!
My husband and I had the same cheap knife set for years, we bought this one recently and LOVE IT! The knives are sharp, aesthetically pleasing and sturdy.We would most definitely recommend, you can't beat these for the price. I would actually gladly have paid more, they are a bargain.

At this price level, you can't beat these knives!
I just placed an order for these knives as my first real set.My parents own this same 13-piece set, and after *at least* eight years (I grew up with these knives) they've remained very sharp and shiny.Of course, I plan to update my review once I've received my own set and have put the knives to light daily use for a few months, but having had eight+ years of experience with them at home, I know they're top-knotch if you're not willing to pay at least $100.

A perfect gift for a home chef, Füri's Rachel Ray 3-piece knife set offers a handsome presentation as well as high-quality, functional tools. The set is named after the Food Network personality and includes both a 5-inch and a 7-inch Gusto Gripo East/West knife. With features of both a cook's knife and a vegetable chopper, the two make handy all-around tools that suit everyday kitchen jobs. The German stainless-steel alloy blades are crafted without seams and have been cut very thin then hardened and tempered, so the edges start out extremely sharp, maintain their razor sharpness longer, and hold up well for years of heavy use. For exceptional maneuverability, scallops along the blades help the knives move through food without sticking, and the forged bolsters and weighty tangs provide balance and strength. The contoured red handles provide a striking finish and fit comfortably in the palm. Enclosed in a natural bamboo box with a hinged lid and slots for the knives, these tools store safely and securely when they're not working hard. Best washed by hand to protect the edges, this set comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Read more

Features

• 3-piece knife set includes 7- and 5-inch Gusto Grip East/West knives and bamboo case
• Knives crafted from a single seamless piece of CrMoV German stainless-steel alloy
• Hardened and tempered; forged solid bolsters and heavy tangs for enhanced strength
• Ultra-thin blades with exceptionally sharp cutting edges; scalloped edges minimize friction
• Hand washing recommended; limited lifetime warranty

Life is easy with FURI
My boyfriend bought me the Furi Rachel Ray knives for xmas last year 2005. This knife set is so easy to use cutting whole chickens for roasting, onions, peppers, and potatoes with no effort making it easy on my wrist. I couldn't believe how smooth of a cut the knives generated after I went back to try my old knives.The bonus is the small knife that is included in the set, very good for small items like the ones in salads.
Great Knives w/Great Handles
These are my first real knives.I've been using them for about six months, and I LOVE them.They chop like a breeze, and the silicon handle doesn't slip even if your hands are covered with oil.The silicon is also applied such that food cannot get between it and the bolster or heel.
happy slicing
The knives are amazing, really sharp, smooth cutting and easy to handle.Sorry I waited so long to purchase them.

Many associate Ginsu knives with the product’s kitschy infomercial from the ‘70s that begins with a karate kick to a watermelon and proceeds with a demo of these knives cutting through just about anything in the house. Like the original product, Ginsu’s International Traditions is designed for the home cook who is not attuned to the maintenance required of a more high-end knife. However, this line is an improvement on the original, offering the weight, balance, and style of a commercial-quality knife, while meeting current design trends and performance expectations.

Great Set! At a Great Price!
After going through several cutlery sets that only got duller and duller over time, or just simply broke,
Like them
I bought those knives couple of weeks ago and I love them! They cut perfectly and look grate. I just have the impression that the box is not for that set of knives because the gaps are too big for some of the knives.

I love ginsu!!!
My parents have had ginsu knives for years now.They use them all the time and to this day they still cut like they are brand new.This price is a steal.You are getting the best knives for the best price.I am now moving out and I am going to make sure I have ginsu in my kitchen.I will not use anything else.I can't believe the rice they are selling these for.You have to get these knives!You won't regret it. ...

I initially recieved 4 as a wedding gift.They worked so well, beyond other knives I have used that I had to buy 8 more for a 12 piece set. Highly Recommended.

great knives for a very good price
This is the only set of steak knives that I have ever owned. That being said I can tell you that these knives are sturdy and up to the task of cutting meat superbly. $30 is dirt cheap too.

Awesome Shower Gift!
Purchased 2 sets (8-Piece Steak Knives) for a wedding shower for an awesome price.I found the same knives in a department store for a higher price and there were only six in the set!I have owned a set of these for 11 years and they are great.They dress up the dinner table nicely - the ones with the big bulky black handles are not as elegant on the table.Can't wait to purchase these again for the next bridal shower I attend! ...

Henckels International leverages the knowledge and expertise synonymous with its manufacturer's famous name to produce high value products at a lower cost. Many characteristics of the premium brand carry over to these more affordable blades. Forged from a single piece of stain-resistant steel, each knife offers a full tang and the classic triple-riveted handle. Measuring 8-1/4 inches in length, the cutting edges feature a serrated texture to easily slice steak, tuna, or pork into bite-sized morsels. Additionally, the blades can ably tackle any number of kitchen cutting and slicing tasks. Without the need for sharpening, the cutlery is virtually maintenance-free and even cleans safely in the dishwasher--although hand washing is preferred. Comprising eight knives, this set makes an excellent wedding or shower gift. ... Read more

Great set for the price ...
Knife set is made in Japan. Very sharp. Each knife weighs like any typical steak knife (1.5 oz).

You're NOT Getting Stabbed In The Back With These Knives!!!
Well, gee whiz! All the negative press these under-rated knives are getting! I managed to slice my fingers (DEEP!) spewing blood...just trying to get them out of their packaging! They're plenty sharp alright!I didn't find them at all flimsy, wobbly or thin! On the contrary, I found them to be stable and sturdy with just the right amount of "heft". Makes me wonder WHAT people are trying to saw thru with these knives!

Very Happy with Product
I bought this set based on the reviews, please shop cautiously for this brand of knife to make sure you "know" what you're getting.These knives are sharper than any knife I have owned or seen.Comes with a great sharpener that will put a real edge on your other knife collections too.I have The Henckels steak knife set too and I quite satisfied with this purchase am sure anyone will, very reasonable price.

Cutting Edge
Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Block Set is exactly what I'd hoped that it would be: a quality set of knives that is ideal for the home.
Novice Kitchen Enthusiast
A very solid knife set, especially with the extra slots for those who have a few "favorite" knifes left in the drawer.MAKE SURE when you buy Henckels to get the "twin" set instead of the single little henckel-man, that's a big upgrade in quality.Oh, and for goodness sake people, quit putting your knife set through the dishwasher and just clean them as you go. ...

Looks great but rusts fast!
On the first day of use, we managed to get rust spots on a couple of the knives. ON THE FIRST DAY! It was a wedding present so I couldn't return it. It was a huge disappointment because they really did look nice in the box.
They're OK
The knives are Ok they work if you are trying to get by, but they won't last you.All the knives have a serrated edge so none of then cut smoothly, you have to saw everything.

Great Knives
I needed a set of knives like yesterday I had a [...] set of Chicago Cutlery knives they lasted 2 years the blades chipped and resharpen them were impossible because of the chipping, the handles faded and they had rust spots and I am not hard on knives I even hand washed them most of the time. So I bought these knives because they were Henckles and the never needed sharpening. I have had them 3 months they are perfect for me. they are made in China.

Beautiful
i love the sleek and streamlined design, and the stainless steel handles are so pretty.this is my first knife set.you definitely have to handwash, but they're worth the trouble.i've used them for 2-3 wks and haven't sharpened the chef's knife yet, but i think it's time...

Excellent knives!!
Even though I already own a very expensive set of Henckels knives, I purchased this Chicago Cutlery set for the convenience of extra knives. Chicago Cutlery was highly rated by Consumer Reports, which is why I decided to try the brand. You wouldn't expect inexpensive knives to be so good, but this set is really very impressive. These knives are a pleasure to use in the kitchen (I'm an avid cook) and were worth every penny. So if you don't want to spend several hundred dollars on top quality knives, Chicago Cutlery is definitely the way to go for good knives. ... Read more

Not a Farberware
Its not from Faberware. Not written anywhere, ITS ONLY from TRISTAR. I don't know why they say its from faberware..sharpness is bad too..

Don't waste your money
These knives barely cut.... and the title is misleading.This set has nothing to do with Faberware.Also, I have had this set for only a few weeks and already rust has appearred on them.Buy them if you intend it for one time use.

Not a Farberware, poor sharpness & steel quality
Definitely not a Farberware. A few knives aren't even sharp and steel quality is very poor. I will make a use of steak knives, they seem to do their job... One of the big knives is the worst, because the blade is heavier then the handle, so it's hard touse it safely.

Absolutely perfect kitchen knife set!
I absolutely love these knives! I was lucky enough able to get this set on Amazon for under $50 and they are simply the best that I've ever owned! Nothing beats having the proper tools for the job and I have to admit I've been cutting with some very poor tools over past few years. The knives in this set have all been exquisitely crafted, perfectly balanced and are an absolute joy to use. This set replaced the "Miracle III" blades that I purchased over 3 years ago for twice the money. I wish I had known about and purchased this set originally as I know I will be getting much more use and many more years of enjoyment from them!

Awesome!!
I like this whole set alot.I think they are even sharper and more easy to handle than my Caphalon knives.The handles are comfortable, the blades are sharp, this set came with bonus shears and a knife sharpener also.I like them so much, I am hand-washing them to keep them in perfect condition.

Sometimes you get a little more than you paid for...
Great knives for the price! ... Read more

If top-shelf Henckels knives will break your bank, you can still get high-quality performance and construction with the mid-range Henckels Gourmet line. A full-size collection, this 18-piece set thoroughly outfits a chef, as well as eight steak dinner guests. Each Gourmet knife is stamped from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, honed by hand, and hardened by the Friodur ice process, for maximum strength and stain-resistance. These knives boast a full tang, which is triple-riveted to a contoured handle made of Novadur polypropylene. This construction is impact-resistant, comfortable to hold, and durable. Complete with its own storage block, the set includes a 4-inch paring knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 6-inch utility knife, an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch carving knife, and an 8-inch bread knife, as well as a meat fork and eight steak knives. A 9-inch steel for sharpening, a pair of kitchen shears, and an instructional knife-skills video are also included. The set is safe for the dishwasher, but washing by hand is recommended. Henckels includes a lifetime warranty. Read more

No special expertise is required to cut professional-looking slices, thick or thin, from roasts, ham, turkey, and bread with the powerful 100-watt electric knife in this carving set. Just grasp the handle, pull the trigger, draw the knife in a straight line, and let the two serrated blades, which saw back and forth at high speed, do the work. It's effortless and safe. The knife comes with a two-pronged fork in a compact (15 by 5 by 2-7/8 inches) storage case made of flexible plastic, with a foam insert molded to hold the set. The 7-1/2-inch knife blades and the 12-inch fork are made of stainless steel. The fork is dishwasher-safe, but the blades should be hand washed in hot, soapy water. Read more

DREADFUL
Terrible ergonomics!It was SO difficult and uncomfortable to keep the trigger engaged and carve at the same time.My hand was ACHING by the time I'd carved the brisket.I've never used a more awkward or uncomfortable appliance!

Great Knife
I replaced my 35+ year old electric knife with this one - wow, I didn't realize how dull it had gotten! I like the case - it was a little tricky to get into the first time, but the old one didn't have one - it's nice to be able to store it all together. Nice and sharp.

nice set matching quality
this beats the bee-gee-zus out of what i thought it would be. solid set. yes the knives are heavy, but ain't that a good thing. to me heavy is good. and beside they would give you carpal wrists anyway, such a wimp if you can swing one of these. as for rust, who washes knives in a machine, tsk-tsk. so washing them the right way, by hand, i see zero rust. as for sharpness, bye-be birdie if you give one of these the finger. oh yeah, one knife was border line in sharpness, but 5 swaths with the sharpening blade and zip thru fresh baked bread without any squashing. the price-well it seems just about right. of course better than 40 would be a real deal. but zero complaints at the forty level. oh yeah again, the blades are thick enough to be without bending like a limp wrist. macho macho man...

Amazing Set for The Price
The wife and I needed a knife set with some steak knives.This was a great deal (on sale and a promotion code).This set is a lot better than the set my parents have, and there's cost 3 times as much!
So many pieces in this knife block set = HUGE value!
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.

Chicago is Sharp!
This is the best deal for your money. The knives are probably one of the few economical knives out there that are always very SHARP. Their lightweight construction makes them easy to use. Make sure you wipe dry the knives each and every tome you wash them by hand (Never put them in the dishwasher!) good bang for you buck!

Chicago Cutlery Metropolitan 10 piece Block set
I didn't find the knives to be initially sharp, it may be a problem just for me but trying to sharpen them on the round knife sharpener provided in the set didn't seem to accomplish anything.. I bought an electric sharpener which does seem to do some good.. on the plus side they feel balanced and well made, no signs of rust as yet.. all in all I don't know if these are substantially better than a cheaper serrated edge set. I guess you get what you pay for but I didn't and don't want to spend five hundred dollars plus on kitchen knives.

Great product
This is a great deal - good knives that are sharp and dishwasher safe. ... Read more

Editorial Review

From one of Henckels' moderately priced cutlery lines, theseeight steak knives divide any rib eye, chop, or roast into bite-sizepieces and then store in a handsome wood box. The thin, curved bladesare perfect for precise cutting, although their fine serrations tend totear meat fibers rather than slice neatly through them. Stamped fromhigh-carbon stainless steel, the knives are lighter in weight thanforged knives and don't have bolsters, which might not be essentialwhen confronting a thick prime rib. The synthetic handles featureclassic three-rivet styling with full tangs for strength. The storagebox is stained a rich auburn. It has brass hinges and snap closures andmeasures 15-1/4 inches long, 1-3/4 inches high, and 5-5/8 inches wide.The knives are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty againstdefects. Read more

Fantastic
I got a set of four of these same steak knives for Christmas 2004, and they've been excellent. They've seen constant use and are still razor-sharp.
Adequate Cutlery
I purchased these knives after having purchased and returned mundial steak knives that had great blades, but the black plastic handles faded after only one hand washing. These knives have serrated blades and are fine for cutting steak on a plate, and I don't think I would want steak knives to be any sharper than what these are, because if so, they would damage my dinner plates. You aren't supposed to wash them in the dishwasher, but I have several times now and they came through as good as new.The rose wood box is nothing special, but it's okay.Overall, for the price, I'm quite happy with these knives.

Great set of knives!
These knives came in a beautiful box, and are the perfect steak knife! ... Read more
