Cutlery Reviews

I bought a Farberware forged set from a department store at Christmas and paid twice this much. Frankly I was surprised by the quality of a Farberware set, but for those of you not familiar the fact that this is forged makes quite a positive difference. The knives are heavy and well balanced. Like all cutlery they need to be sharpened with a steel after every few uses, and although these claim to be dishwasher safe you should never wash your cutlery in the dishwasher, and should always hand dry. This is a good purchase and worth 5 stars for the price.

The carousel did not look as nice as it did in the photo, the knife handles were kelly green (in the photo they appeared black or hunter green) and I felt the handles had a very plastic look to them. The cutting surfaces seemed good. The gadgets fall off the holders. I am not pleased with the set

I THINK IT IS A GREAT VALUE. ESPECIALLY FOR POEPLE STARTING TO EQUIP THEIR KITCHEN WITH A LIMITED BUDGET. I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER TWO MORE SETS BUT I WOULD LIKE BLACK OR WHITE?

I was most pleased with this choice, and how quickly I received my order.

However, upon opening the packages for placement upon their proper pegs around and in the carousel, one (1) item was discovered to be broken in transit.

I found nowhere in the "help" menu to inquire how I might get a replacement for the 1-TBSP measuring spoon. I do NOT wish to return the whole of the order for this small item.

Please direct me to whom I should write to get a replacement for the 1-TBSP measuring spoon.

Thank you for your prompt response.

I purchased these knives several years ago, and immediately noticed rust spots on the blades after a few runs in the dishwasher. The plastic utensils worked wonderfully until a week ago, when i accidently left one of the spoons in a pot of boiling water. technically, it's still a spoon, but it's tough to tell by looking at it.
i also found out the hard way that those rust spots aren't just on the surface, they eat through the blade, as i had one snap in half on me while slicing a potato two nights ago...not the handle, but the actual blade. had any of my fingers been in different positions, i wouldn't be able to type this review.

This set claims to be completely dishwasher safe, but the knives started showing rust spots the first time I washed them. The large spoons melted and warped stirring boiling water and the stand's straight up slots make a great place for dust to gather thats impossible to clean.

The plastic spoon melted when I washed it in the dishwasher. I would suggest washing these by hand because they are very light and tend to "fly around" in the dishwasher.

The knives are a great item for the price.

The carousel is very convient to keep all the knives and utensils in one place.

I purchased this set and thought I had found a bargain because I trusted the brand name. The knives don't cut! They are the least favorite choices of everyone in the house. I usually dig for the old knives, which work much better. My sons will actually wash a knife rather than use a clean one from this set. Many rusted after the first washing!

These were supposedly dishwasher safe. My set is rusted after just a couple months of use. They seem pretty dull too.

I have ... laser cut knives from the supermarket that have held up for 10 years with no rust and no loss of sharpness.

I assume it is the ... Chinese steel being used for these that makes them so worthless.

Save your money. I wish I had.
