 "Very Nice Knife Set - Recommended" 2009-09-20
By CFH (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA)
We have used the Chicago Cutlery Insignia Matte 12-Piece Block Set for about three years. This set has held up well and has been fairly easy to maintain, as the knives keep their edges for a long time. They do have to be hand washed after each use, but that is to be expected with this type of good quality cutlery.



The set includes a 3.5" paring knife, 5" utility knife, 8" bread knife, 8" chef knife, 8" sharpening steel, six 4.5" steak knives, and a hardwood block.



We are very pleased with this set, Recommended!

 "A good "starter" knife set" 2008-06-27
By Max's Mom (In Blue Heaven, USA)
I bought these knives because they were one the great Friday sales that Amazon has and we didn't register for a set of knives when we got married. They looked sturdy and like "grown-up" knives. We have put these knives through the ringer; we've had them for 2 years and they haven't needed to be sharpened (a sharpener comes with the set). I would recommend this set as starter knifes. They're not J.A. Henckels or Wusthof but they serve their purpose.

Am very pleased with this purchase. Knives are everything I expected!

 "Sharp, functional knives--worth more than their price ($)" 2006-11-09
By TashNYC (Jersey City, NJ United States)
These knives are quite sharp--certainly sharper than the set we replaced--and work well for everyday use. I didn't love the wood block (which is ligher than our previous set) and I missed the bread knife (which, as any discerning reader can tell, is NOT included here), so we simply used our old knife block, and old bread knife, too. (How sharp does a bread knife need to be?) These are highly-functional, save us lots of prep time, and are worth more than the super-discount price paid (low thirties). Enough for me to forgive the silver styling and ligher balance of the knives, when compared to more expensive brands. Still very glad we bought these!

These knives are very lightweight and have a matte finish which matches great with our cookware. I recommend them!

 "great knives for the price" 2008-11-30
By sb
My mom loves these. It was a gift for her last christmas and she doesn't know what she would do w/out them. Great buy for the price.

 "Not so hot.. You can do better for the same price" 2008-11-01
By Benjamin Holt
I bought these knives when the set was on special for $60 instead of the usual $100. While they look great, the pros of this knife set end about there.



They don't hold their sharpness very long and require constant sharpening to maintain a useable edge. That in itself is a rather minor complaint, but it gets much worse. These knives rust VERY easily. If you leave them in the sink for even a day, rust spots will appear. Normally this isn't a problem since you can just clean it off, but where the rust appears, the metal quickly weakens. In less than 8 months I've had 3 of the steak knives acquire CRACKS in the metal at the base, and one of the cutting knives chipped off a 3mm area of the cutting blade while being sharpened.



The only reason I've given this set 3 stars is because Chicago, after much argument, was willing to send me replacement knives at no cost. Otherwise, this set would be a flat 1.



Long story short, for $100, way not worth it.. you can do far better for the same price with other higher rated sets on Amazon. For $50 this set would be worth it.

 "Rusting!" 2008-04-24
By OS (Silver Spring, MD)
I bought this set from Bed Bath and Beyond. We used several knives, hand washed them and let them dry overnight on a rack in the sink. One knife had a large rusty stain on it in the next morning! My wife and I could not believe it. It would not happen even to one of our dollar store knives! So much for the steel made in China! We were able to return the set and bought Henckels from Amazon and have been satisfied with them. I made sure, the set is made of German steel in Germany.

 "Incredible Knives for the Price" 2007-02-01
By J. Vallager
First off, I've worked in kitchens for about eight years. All high end restaurants, so I understand what makes for high quality cutlery. For work I have a set of Wusthof Triton blades, you won't find many better knives than that. But at home I have this Insignia set because I would never trust my roommate or girlfriend with a $150 Wusthof knife. Having this set has paid off immensely.



I always wash a knife by hand, just common sense. True their stainless steel, but stainless can still rust. Some of these knives have unfortunately been through the dishwasher a couple of times and have come out just fine; I have never had any problem with rust.

The balance of these knives is superb. And the quality of the steel is very good. These knives will keep a sharp edge for weeks, and I use them daily.



People complain that they're not that sharp, but what they don't realize is you can't just run the steel over them to hone them. You have to keep the knife at low angle and maintain that with every stroke. If you know how to hone a knife, these will come very close to a brand new professional blade.



I would easily recommend these knives to anyone looking to spend $100 to $200 for a set. I have seen much cheaper quality sets for more money. This definitely is a great buy for the money.

 "Ok, but not great" 2007-01-05
By V. Lea (Hawkeye Land)
I know others had problems with rust spots - I haven't had ANY issues like that. I think if you hand wash after use you will be fine. They definitely aren't for the dishwasher.



My only complaint is that they arrived dull. Yes, there is a sharpener, I received two in fact, but still, having to sharpen all the knives (not the steak ones obviously) took a bit of the newness out of the situation, and made it work.



Otherwise, they are great, and after a lot of time spent for the initial sharpen I haven't had a problem. They are nicely balanced, and look very nice on my countertop.

 "Cutlery Block" 2009-01-23
By D. Vuong
I ordered it on December 13th and I received it December 23rd with the Free Shipping. I needed a daily use block set because I love to cook and I wanted a eye-appealing since it was going to be sitting on the counter of my kitchen. The Block was nicely built and had a in-block sharpener which is fantastic. Each knife was sharp and felt heavy in the hand, which made it feel more stable. They were stainless steel and had a aerodynamic design which was very eye-pleasing especially in my stainless steel kitchen. The steak knives were not serrated, but cut easily into meat. The cheese set and mezzaluna were great bonuses along with the block set. They are not made with the same quality as the knife set so don't expect it. The cheese set is nice with wooden handles, and the mezzaluna is very sharp with plastic handle.

With the Omaha Steak Offer. As I recall it was a 3-Option deal. They would have either a chicken and burgers option, an steak and dessert option, or chicken and fish option. Don't quote me on that, it's just from memory. I found the offer under Special Offers on the page, but I'm sure you could search for it on amazon's website. You would need the UPC bar code from the box, the printout about the special offer, and the receipt from amazon that came from the box.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase and will buy from Chicago cutlery again, if not the same set.
