Great Modern Knife Set

Replaced an old block of Wusthof's with this knife set to better match our kitchen decor. Not only do they look better, but they are higher quality overall. Comfortable handles, sturdy build, well balanced and very sharp! Yes, you have to tilt it to remove knives from under kitchen cabinets, but that's really not a big deal.

High quality knives, still VERY sharp after 5 months, and it looks awesome on the counter. The whole "block" comes apart so you can clean it easily or pack it away if you're moving, without having to worry about the glass breaking. We use them every day and they are wonderful.

Forward Thinking Display/AAA Performance

Would you recommend?Yes

These knives are sharp and cut like butter. I sliced a frozen salmon like it was nothing. They have great balance with a comfy feeling handle. I LOVE the in-line glass block! Yes, you have to pull the block out from under the cabinet because they lack the clearance needed to get them out. Not a big deal for such great quallity. The trade off is the beauty of the stainless steel/glass display. I especially like that there's no steak knives or other utility pieces like sharpeners and scissors in the set.

Good knives, questionable block

Would you recommend?No

I am very pleased with the knives that came with this set which is why I won't be returning the item. They have a nice balance to them and slice well.

The block, while it looks great, doesn't function that great as a knife block. The knives are not snug inside of it. They can tilt and slide around a little if you move the block while the knives are in it. I had the block on the kitchen counter for awhile but the knives rattle really loudly whenever I walked around nearby. I have to imagine a powerful home theater system would have the same effect. I kind of wish I had gotten this same set with a wooden block.

Excellent Knives

Would you recommend?Yes

These knives are so worth the price. I am surprised they are not well over $350. Because even at that price they would be worth it. The Santoprene handle makes this knife very comfortable to hold. Even my wife noticed how nice the grip was. I have larger hands and when you are holding these knives they have a nice feel to them. They are very well balanced. I received these knives as a Christmas gift from my wife. I was asking for some Wustof's or maybe some Henkels because I currently own an 8" Wustof Grand Prix Santoku which has been my pride and joy and I wanted to add to the collection, but a nice block set of those could run into the $1000's. Well since I have had a chance to slice, dice and chop some fruits, vegetables and meats over the last couple of days the Wustof has been sheathed and retired. I can not emphasize enough how well these knives can cut. I used the carving knife on a holiday ham and it was like slicing through warm butter. The Santoku minced an onion better that any other knife I have ever used. I tested the paring knife on some radishes and all I can say is wow. Some people have written on other sites that, because of the vertical design of the glass block, you can't get the knives out of the block when it is under a cabinet. I too have this issue but it is not that big of a deal. I just pull the block out from under the cabinet when I need to use the knives. Plus the glass block allows you to show off these beautiful knives. I would recommend these knives to anyone who wants a high quality knife at a very, very reasonable price.
