These nice heavy steak knives are full tang and riveted, the wood box is nice, and best of all they cut great. We've only used them a couple of times so far, so I'm not positive about how well they'll hold up, but they seem to be well made and so far we really like them. HUGE improvement on the old, cheap, flimsy steak knives we had.

I've owned many sets of steak knives, and it is hard to find a good quality set that I will stick with. I've never heard of Pinzon, but I can say these knives stack up very well against my J.A. Henckels International Eversharp 8-Piece Steak Knife Set that I've been using for the last year.
I received the Contemporary set. The quality is very well made. These are full-tang, which means that the tang of the blade (the part that extends past the handle), goes all the way through the length of the grip. That way you don't have to worry about the blade snapping off the handle. Most decent steak knife sets are full-tang anyway, so that's not really a big deal and I would expect it. The three rivets in the handle are completely flush with the handle, and appear to be very firmly set. If you run your finger over the grip you can not feel the rivets at all. The area where the blade meets the grip is also flush and there is no obvious separation between the two pieces. They're also stainless steel so you don't have to worry about them rusting, although I wouldn't recommend putting them in the dishwasher. I did take one of the knives and banged it up with a hammer several times and tried to bend the blade. The blade did not bend at all, and the rivets and handle stayed intact and did not separate from the tang (although it did get marred up and take some dents).
Upon receiving the knives my biggest concern with them was the blade, which didn't look very sharp. The blade is indeed fairly sharp, and performed just as well as my Henckels. Lastly, the storage box they come in is fairly nice. It is wood with a very smooth flat finish and a velvet inlay, however you can't tell it is plastic unless you look closely. IE, it does not look cheap. I would definitely consider getting these as a gift for someone just because the presentation in the box makes them look so nice.

These knives come in an attractive box and are forged, so they should stay sharp a long time. It is easier to cut with a serrated edge knife, but a very sharp non-serrated edge makes a cleaner cut. It is terribly difficult to keep steak knives sharp in my home, so this is a happy compromise. For the price I don't have to worry about them not being cared by everyone. The handles are riveted for long life. They look very nice as well.

These are a set of nicely balanced steak knives in an attractive presentation box.
The knives are full tang (the metal of the blade goes all the way to the end of the handle), and have a nice matte finish on the handles. They look very similar to expensive German knives, but of course are not the same level of quality. If they were, they would be five times the price. However, for a nice set of steak knives, they really do the trick.
Very nice for the price!

I like these knives quite a lot. They are sharp, and they have an edge that is not only scalloped, but closely serrated as well, and so they promise to keep their edge for some years. They might as well, because there is no way on earth that I would know to sharpen them. They might be honed a bit on the lowest setting of the Chef's Choice sharpener, but not really re-sharpened. But anyway, they should be good for years at the table before descending into the household task category; their ends have points, and they cut meat very neatly and efficiently.
Whenever I get something that looks reasonably sturdy but says it should not be put in the dishwasher, my first response is, "Oh, yeah?" and into the dishwasher it goes. Some things really should be hand washed to preserve their appearance; don't use the dishwasher on your hard-anodized aluminum cookware unless you want to end up with an aluminum pot that looks exactly like an aluminum pot (still works, though). If you have any old carbon-steel knives, they will rust if they sit in the dishwasher, but the newer ones will survive unscathed. I do always put the good knives lying singly in the top rack, so they won't be jostled by the other cutlery, being harmed or doing harm.
These knives come out of the dishwasher in fine shape. I had a bit of water spotting, which alerted me to my being out of rinse agent, but the spots wiped right off with a damp paper towel; and with the rinse agent in place, they washed beautifully. I think that sometimes the manufacturers think that if they recommend hand washing, it makes the product sound more elegant and somehow precious and deserving of special care. Maybe things that must be carefully hand washed seem worthy of a higher price. To me, it only makes them seem like work.
The box the knives come in is neat and clean-looking; the set would make a wonderful and good-looking gift for anyone setting up a household. Just as an aside, I remember that when I was a child I was told by an ancient aunt of the lavender variety that one should never give knives as a gift without being paid for them--I believe that a nickel was the amount she recommended. She repeated a superstition that the knives would sunder the friendship otherwise. I pass this on as a bit of tradition that I have never observed, but who can tell when someone might find a bit of folklore a handy thing to know?
