CuisinartBlock Knife Set, 17pc Cutlery Knife Set with Steel Blades for Precise Cutting, Lightweight, Stainless Steel, Durable & Dishwasher Safe, C77SS-17P

I love this cutlery set! They arrived pre-sharpened, and they STAY sharp. Easy to hold, and have a decent weight to them... but not too heavy and certainly not flimsy. There is a good selection in the set to handle any of your feast prepping needs, and even the steak knives can cut through the toughest over-cooked piece of meat.

These are mine, wifey and I are only users in house of 5. Cut well very sharp and easy to clean.

I bought this set because 1. My girlfriend complained regularly about my existing knife with missing pieces. 2. I wanted a set with 8 steak knives because we have service for 8 in our dining set.Before today, I had used the steak knives for mundane tasks, like opening a package of hot dogs, etc. For many years, I disliked doing prep work, cutting up vegetables. No more! I used the chopping knife to dice an onion. What had been a tedious chore became a pleasure! It easily cut into the onion like butter, and had NO problem mincing the remanining larger pieces. Same holds true for slicing a tomato.Used the bread knife as well. While not as long as other bread knives I had seen, it did the job NO problem.This is an excellent purchase, and I would strongly consider giving this as a housewarming gift or wedding present, even if it wasn't asked for.Money well spent.

These knives are a great buy for yourself or for a gift. I like the holder especially since it's very sleek and doesn't take up much space on the counter top. The holder is not wooden so you don't have to be concerned about bacteria and mold inside the wooden knife holder. The knives have a great feel in your hands. They are very sharp and easy to clean. Just don't leave them in the sink. The mini santoku knife is so nice and can be used as a multipurpose knife. All in all, for the home cook and anyone who appreciates great knives or just starting out with learning how to use professional knives, this set is a great way to go. Great cooking must be accompanied with great knives!

I bought this product for my first apartment. The knives work really well and look amazing. The handles are very comfortable to hold for both my fiancée and myself in general usage. Included knife sharpener is a bonus, and the knife block looks really sharp.I knocked one star off of my review because rust spots did appear on some of the knives when they were dishwashed or left wet for more than 5 minutes in between washing and drying. I managed to remove the rust stains and they have not reappeared so far. That said, it was a real pain to remove them for sure!

Not only is this product attractive on my kitchen counter, this is the best set of knives I have ever owned! I cannot believe they did not cost me $300-$400! Knives are attractive, well-made, easy=to use. I am thinking of purchasing 3 more sets for my 3 adult children for Christmas this year as they all just LOVE my set of new knives--and one of our sons is a Chef!

These knifes and nice and sharp. Love them.

Great nice and sharp
