Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's a good set. No doubt. I have had these knives for about 3 months now, so I have enough experience with them to make a claim. They cut wonderfully, from very large and firm vegetables to steak to cheese. I probably just use the chef's knife for 80% of the overall kitchen uses. This is what you have to be careful of, however: 1. They measure MORE than 14" in height, when measuring the set from bottom of stand to top of knife handle (see pics 1-2) 2. If you have low cupboards like me, you cannot remove the knives with one hand, you'll have to tilt the stand with one hand while grabbing the knife with the other 3. Same as above to put knife back in Take a look at the knives with the comparison against the height of a roll of paper towels and my Wusthof set, the standard wooden block that allows you to pull the knives out at an angle, thus requiring only one hand. The good: 1. The handles are very grippy, just awesome 2. The set looks fantastic and draws a lot of attention 3. No rust on the metal yet 4. Stand is easy to clean, as long as you don't put wet knives in, which will cloud the inside of the glass Thanks for reading my review.
