Horribly Disappointing
"I ordered this knife set after my wedding and was very excited to finally have a complete "quality" knife set on a budget. Unfortunately I received the set with one knife that was already rusting. I called Crate & Barrel and they sent me a replacement. It took about a week for all of the knives and the scissors started rusting. It was horribly disappointing. I returned the set. The upside, Crate & Barrel was really great about it and issued a full refund."

The Best Quality?
"My husband and I finally bought this set after talking about it for about a year and we love it! The knives cut wonderfully! However, the tip of one of the paring knives broke off and some of the other knives have brown spots on them that looks like rust. We have never put them in the dishwasher and always dry them as soon as we are done with them. We bought this brand because we were under the impression they would last forever, after 6 months of use I'm starting to question that impression."

Most useful kitchen item
"A good set of kitchen knives are an essential for the kitchen.
I use mine multiple times a day and am so happy with this purchase. The knives are great quality. The set gives a good variety. And The knife block looks great on the counter top.
Would recommend this product to anyone."

Knife-tastic!
"This knife set is a great buy. Knives are one thing you cannot cut corners with (pun intended). If you buy a cheap set, you will regret it a month later when you need to sharpen your knives to slice a banana. Get these; you won't regret it."

Great set
"I love these knives. I have relatives who have purchased other high-end knife brands but ended up having problems with rust, chipping, handle weight, etc. Not these! Great quality, weight and performance."

Disappointment...
"I will admit right off that I never took all of the knives out of the packaging to use them.... I am terribly disappointed that the emblem on the handle is just a STICKER! The handles are extremely light and cheap feeling... I hardly ever return items but I am returning these."

Great wedding gift
"I bought this set for my sister's bridal shower and had it delivered directly to her house. It arrived right away and she's been so happy with her gift. She could even cut a steak with one of the paring knives and was so excited about it! Highly recommend this!"

Excellent Knives
"I absolutely love this knife set! It is very versatile. I have had the set for a few months now, and they are still extremely sharp.

Sharp look and acting
"This was purchased for my husband and I from our wedding registry. While pricey, they are quality knives that work well in cutting steaks to tomatoes to bread. I'm sure they will last a long time."

Useful for the kitchen
"My husband and I registered for this set of knives in our registry and found them to be incredibly useful in our kitchen. While they are pricey, the chef and santoku knives are amazing for everyday chopping and slicing. The block is small and easy to fit on any countertop with limited counter space. We know these will last for for a long time and were a great purchase."

Great knife set!
"We love these knives! They cut everything with no problem, even tomatoes. We had a friend over who kept commenting how amazing they were! Very sharp! I usually hand wash them but put a couple steak knifes in the dishwasher and they came out fine."

Sharp knives
"I love these knifes. We received this knife set along with a cutting board as a wedding gift and they are so sharp and I love cooking with them. The steak knives are perfect and cut right through a steak. So glad I registered for these."

Can't live without
"Not sure how I managed to cook without this knif set. It is worth the investment. The time I save using a quality knife makes it worth every penny. The wood block takes up very little room on the counter which helps if you are limited to space."
