These knives are amazing! They’re extremely sharp so please be careful!My husband was cutting a watermelon - he not only cut it with ease, but he also grabbed his finger: thank goodness I always keep liquid bandaid as well as crazy glue - saved a trip to the doctor’s!Each blade has nice weight to them and it goes through the thickest of meat with little to no struggle!Plus, the butcher block it comes with - so very elegant!It showcases the knives beautifully which always starts up a conversation when I have company over!

I love this Japanese knife set. Great design, nice handle and I love the color of the wood. Very durable for cutting anything and my go to set

These knives are absolutely amazing. They are beautifully made, along with the knife block that came with them! I love the texture on them, giving them a unique look. They came very well packaged, and fit very well in the knife block.They have a great weight to them, and feel great in the hands. They are very sharp, and slice into meats and vegetables very easily.I got these for my mother for Mother’s Day, and will be adding them to my “Ultimate Mothers Day Gift Guide” that I am going to post when I have it completed. I’m definitely going to have to purchase another set for myself because I almost don’t want to give these up.Definitely recommend buying for your kitchen or for someone who loves cooking!

Not impressed at all with these knifes. I have been using them for 3 months now and these are the first knives I’ve ever owned that have chipped on the metal part so I had to throw them away. The other two are definitely not as sharp which shouldn’t happen over 3 months. I’ve bought better knives at Ikea.

I’ve been using this chef knife set daily, and the main blade still feels as sharp as day one. These kitchen knives feel solid in hand and tackle heavy chopping—dicing onions, slicing meat, you name it—without losing their edge. If you want a reliable set that stays razor‑sharp and stands up to real‑world cooking, this is the one.

Very durable. Wood handles great steal blades. Very sharp easy to maintain. When cutting with them easy to stay in same cut with easy balance. Great value for your money.Functional with easy with anything you need cut, fruit, and meat with ripping item apart. 4 great sizes for small item and large items.

These are obviously not the nicest knives money can buy, but for the price, I think it's a pretty good value. They are sharp and have held an edge fine for the first few months of use so far, although I don't cut a ton so your results may vary.There is a very small visible gap between the knife and the bolster where the tang wasn't fully seated in the bolster, and I am not a huge fan of the way the black texturing follows the back of the knife all the way down to the tip. Both things I'm willing to overlook when you consider the knives are less than $40 each in this package.My only real complaint and reason for deducting a star is that the paring knife has a bit of glue on the bolster that must have leaked out when they pushed the knife into the handle, it is a very thin layer and doesn't affect the function at all, but it is visible and doesn't look very nice when you closely inspect the knife, I definitely should have asked for a replacement but was just too lazy to deal with it and the knife still works at the end of the day.
