- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2016Color: 15pc Essentials SetVerified PurchaseThese are some really good quality knives. I bought these as a present for Christmas and they've been used every day since and they've still been cutting like brand new. It's really nice to have a good quality knife set now. Everything is well built and the block is very strong and nice looking. I love each knife and if you use them appropriately they make your life so much easier. Before I used to force the knife to make a simple cut, now it feels like I'm cutting through water. I'd highly recommend these knives to anyone really. Anyone would really appreciate these knives, they're really good quality for the price. You can not go wrong at all with these.
Also, to the people whose knives have already rusted, I don't know what you're doing with your knives. I've had mine wet, and set in a drying rack to air dry and there's not a single speck of rust on them. So to anyone who has been discouraged about buying these because of that, then you have nothing to worry about. They're doing something wrong with them.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2020Color: 12pc Fusfion SetVerified PurchaseOh I love these knives!!! I honestly have only used a couple so far, so I will add to my review once I get some more time in with them.. But so far, I looove how nice they cut. I had to cut up ribs tonight... like butter! The handles are so nice, you get a really good grip! The quality is beautiful, especially for a first knife set, like it is for me. I love cooking so I cannot wait to see how these babies handle all that I do in the kitchen. The company also has a lifetime warranty, which is really nice knowing if they break I will be taken care of. That alone is worth the money I paid, let alone the beautiful knives I got. The holding block isnt super bulky, which is nice for limited space kitchens like mine, and it is also made nicely. I regret not getting the bigger set, but one day I will expand to more when my cutting skills expand! Be careful, THEY ARE VERY SHARP!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice and sharp. These knives are a pleasure to use.
Color: 15pc Belden SetVerified PurchaseI love this knife set. It is attractive on my countertop, but more important, the knives are sharp. You do have to be careful not to poke a hole in the block when you are putting them away, they are that sharp. They are a good weight in the hand and are very comfortable to use. Some knife sets have steak knives without serrated edges. These are 'half' serrated which is perfect, by which I mean that the lower part of the knives are serrated. I used to just throw my knives in the dishwasher, but with these, I am trying to take good care of them, so I do hand wash them, which is perfectly easy. If you don't dry them immediately, they do end up with lots of water marks on them, so I try to wash/dry completely after each use. I am very happy with this purchase.
