Chef Knives Reviews

These are probably one of the best "budget" knives around. The handles are synthetic so they're dishwasher-safe. There is no need for handwashing like expensive knives. The blades are strong, hold an edge well and has nice weight and balance for something so inexpensive. These are terrific for everyday, heavy use. A set you can abuse without guilt or worry. The "Farberware Professional" logo tends to wash off in the dishwasher.

These knifes are pure junk. I have the chef's knife from this set, and the thing is absolute trash. I hand-wash all of my knives, and this one is rusting. The blade is thin and flimsy and it won't hold an edge. I accidentally dropped the knife onto my linoleum floor and the tip actually bent to a 90 degree angle!

I wouldn't even use this thing to trim shrubs in the garden.

Nice looking set, but they have a tendency to rust. Also I have to sharpen them quite a bit before using them for most vegetables (onions, tomatos). I can't really complain given the price, and in buying Farberware, I shouldn't expect Henckels or Wusthof quality, but I must say that the dullness and rust are very annoying.

I received this set as a gift from my husband 2 years ago. He bought it for me because it had the stainless and black handles, and thought Farberware was a good name. We didn't own a dishwasher, so it is hard for me to understand why ... but all the knives got little bits of rust on them within a year of having them, and washing them by hand. Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on this item...
