Cutlery Reviews

I have been looking for a new knife set for our new home for awhile and saw these knifes were the right price and had a good rating so I went to the store to check them out but in the store they make it so you cannot remove the knifes I thought the handle looked cheap but again it had such a great review I thought I can't go wrong,Well I got them home and compared them to my old knifes they cut the same as my now rusted and dull knifes and the blade is very cheap I took mine back to the store and ordered a set from online for twice the cost but 5x the quality...Please Avoid These Knifes There A waste Of Money!

i bought these knives purely because they were inexpensive. i am getting married in a year and was planning on getting a set of really expensive ones for a gift. for $20 i wasnt expecting much, but these are so great! they work well, and i've been using them for 3 months so far and they have not rusted or dulled one bit, even when i put them in the dishwasher instead of handwashing. i recommend these for anyone, whether you are looking for a cheap set to last you a couple years or a decent set to last you years and years.

I bought this set of knives from target more than 5 years ago and still use it on a daily basis in my kitchen.

The secret to their longevity, I think, has been the regular use of an electric knife sharpener to keep the set on it's toes. So far, none of the knives has failed to stay sharp nor have any exhibited any sign of of rivet failure.

At this price you can't go wrong!

I received these knives as a wedding gift. Being new to the domestic life, I was not aware that knives should be handwashed. Hence, rust has occured. Now what is the best way to get rid of the rust, so they may be used again. I also had troble locating their website on the internet.

I bought this set, tested it, comparing the chef's knife and paring knives against my Henkel's **** paring knife and my Solingen chef's knife. I wanted to find a day to day knife set with steak knives to replace my old crappy serrated set. And I was very pleased with their sharpness and with the selection of blades. Much more useful than most large sets. However, after I started taking out all the knives I realized how flimsy many were. They may or may not be full tang, but certainly the blade is not connected to the bolster and I can believe that the previous reviewer has had problems with them breaking. If you don't need steak knives, the smaller forged set of Chefmate look good, but I would not suggest buying these. You may even be better off with the cheaper full tang stainless set.

I bought a set of Chefsmate knives a few years ago and love them. My set have a nice thick bolster to prevent my fingers from getting chopped off and metal rivets to secure them to the handle. I am not sure if this set has that construction, but these are quality knives. They are sharp, reliable, and have a nice weight to them.

Now to the main issue that I hear in these comments... The rust that happens on the blades... I cringe to hear that someone put them in the dishwasher! Kitchen knives deserve way more care than that. Use the knife, clean the knife with NON-LEMON TYPE detergent, and then dry after use. (Remember that citric acid will rust metal as is true in all cases) Do this to these and they will last

The cheese slicer came defective. The handle was completely missing and the slicer wire was bent. The box was slightly open and there was no safety packaging whatsoever in the box! I am very disappointed in the way this item was shipped!!

the thought is good but quality is not...thing broke in second day odf use and the replacement string broke a week l;ater then the little foot fell off... would not reccommend

i bought this for my husband who loves cheese he used it a couple of times and it ended up breaking the lats time. it had a spare wire and that broke too. i wouldn't suggest buying this product if you plan on actually using it.

I too have had a very bad experience with these knives. I have had them for about four months and all of them have rusted and almost all of them have lost there rivets. This product in my opinion is junk. I paid a good price for them and it is very disapointing to have had this problem. I now know not to purchase them in the future and will also spread the word to others who are thinking about purchasing them.

I purchased this item last year for my wife at Christmas. In less that four months the handles on a couple of knifes, the ones we use the most, became loose. Due to failing rivets. As the result, I am very disapointed in the overall quality.

How can I get two new steak knives that I lost from the 13-piece set?
