This is the third set of these knives I have bought as gifts for other people. My girlfriend (now wife) had some old knives she never took care of, so I looked around for economic knives I could give her. That was the first set. They arrived, and I was reasonably impressed. I love too cook, and admit to being a bit of a snob with my kitchenware. However, I could not afford a couple of thousand dollars to give her a really nice knife set.This set looks good in its case, and the knives seem to hold a good edge. Now that we are married, I use them almost every day. The pizza knife works great on a crisp crust, the rounded edge snaps through the crust. On a softer crust, the serrated edge seems to work well. The bread knife is pretty standard, but that means it cuts through bread just the way I want. The chef's and paring knives are both decent and work good for cutting fruits, vegetables, meats, etc.My only complaint is the knives do not have the weight of my high-end santoku. If you want a heavy cleaver or something similar, you will need to buy it separately. Otherwise, this has almost everything I need.The second set went to my stepdaughter, to replace the knives I refused to use at her house ;). She loves them, and got rid of her old knives. Now, my grandson keeps complaining about his knives, and covets his mothers. So, the third set is for him.

Great and very sharp.

I'm really impressed with this 20-piece kitchen knife set! The high carbon stainless steel blades are incredibly sharp and cut through everything with ease. The ergonomic handles are comfortable to grip, making each knife easy to use, even for extended periods.The set comes with a sharpener, which is a great bonus, ensuring the knives stay in top condition. The sleek black design of the knife block looks modern and fits perfectly in my kitchen.Overall, this set offers fantastic value for the price, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen tools

It’s perfect. It looks exactly like the photos!

A few months ago I had a traumatic experience occur, I only say that so this review makes sense. I have had to replace about 75% of everything I owned and our cutlery was one. After looking at several sets and taking into account that I have much more to buy we decided to give this set a try.Now to begin with this was purchased for $35.00 so we didn't expect Shun quality knives. I expected decent knives that will work for the time being, until I can purchase a better set. Thus, I am quite surprised with them, the knives are quite sharp and seem to hold there edge well. We are vegans so we have only used them on fruits and vegetables yet they don't need constant sharpening and they make quick work of everything we have cooked.Now don't get me wrong, I do have some complaints. For starters, the knives feel really light in the hand. I don't know if this is a personal thing or not, but I prefer a knife to have some heft, so that is one issue and possibly the one I will over time have the most issue with. Another issue is the lack of a honing rod. That omission is annoying as I am required to use the included sharpener which while a nice addition slows me down. Lastly in the complaints, is the storage 'arc. Don't get me wrong, it is rather visually appealing, but I find it impractical as you can't set it under a cabinet and leave it there. You have to leave it out in the open, which I get it, it's supposed to be decorative. I just personally find it irksome.Yet, I still give this set 4 stars, because it isn't trying to be something it is not. This is a good cutlery set, it will if you take care of it, last you for a good amount of time. (Don't put them In the dishwasher, clean them soon after use. Etc. Etc.). For the price I dont think you can go wrong. If you're just starting out or starting over, this set will not disappoint you.

Great set of knives, I love the color and how it loos. Super very sharp (I almost chopped one of my fingers 😭, but nothing worse happened, my finger survived, only needed some stitches 🙂) so be extremely careful when using them. It looks very durable and I like how smooth it cuts things. I like the variety and sizes of these knives.

I did hours of research on affordable knives, that also had an aesthetically pleasing look to them before *finally* committing to a purchase!Boy, was I glad that I did! These have been fantastic! I haven't had to use a sharpener at all yet (Though it is recommended after so much use)! I have nothing but good things to say, honestly, but I don't want to be a cliche, so lets get down to teh basics.I was mainly looking for a quality Chef's Knife, Paring Knife and Carving Knife - everything else was a bonus! The peeler works wonders! I have a garden and had loads of cucumbers this year, and the peeler cuts like butter! I almost weeped when I used the carving knife as well - I had an unthawed pack of bacon that needed to be cut into cubes - no time to stick it in the freezer to get a bit solid - so I broke out the carving knife and NEVER have I had an experience where the blade just went straight through unthawed meat like that! I was *AMAZED*.Need I say more? If you are having doubts, don't. Just go for it! It's a great, affordable product that looks beautiful on your kitchen counter. Make the plunge!

Sharpness adequate. Easily cleaned. No rust

Scherpe messen

Great set of knives!

The knives took a shorter time than expected to wear, but all in all, it was a good purchase.

Seem functional, but didn’t extend out far enough for my kitchen drawer

Good
