 "Truly beautiful and practical set" 2008-08-13
By Groch (Broomfield, CO United States)
Over the years I've purchased a lot from Amazon, this knife set is one of my all time favorite buys.

I will not review the individual knives here, but to say that they are beautifully crafted, and very sharp. Check out the reviews on each of the individual knives for owner feedback. Some have European style blades (sharpened on 2 edges) some are Japanese with single edges. All are nicely balanced and made in Japan.



As for the set, consider the assortment. Many 9 piece sets give you an odd assortment of mostly small knives along with cheap scissors, an ugly block, and a throw away steel hone. This set, as the photo shows, has 7 well chosen knives, a beautifully finished bamboo block (the same one in the Shun sets) and a full size whetstone. So far as I can tell, the whetstone (KAI model AP-0305) is not otherwise available in the U.S., but it uses well chosen 400/1000 grit. Equivalent stones sell for about $60 on Amazon.



I have not owned them long enough to report on long term wear, they have wood handles so should be hand washed, but expect them to provide excellent service for many years.

 "Top notch, great deal" 2008-08-29
By N. Reimers (Clemmons, NC)
I got these for a steal, $180 on Amazon, and they retail for about $500. Knives are incredible... great balance, feel, handle is very solid ironwood, great selection of knives... there isn't a single one I don't use, which is contrary to most reviewers saying they get too many.



Steel is very sharp out of the box and has stayed that way for the first couple months I have owned them.



Highly recommend snagging them if you can get them for under $200, they simply blow away any set that is remotely close to that price... great investment.

 "Good value" 2008-10-11
By Tim Ma (Salt Lake City, UT USA)
I was looking for a way to storage knives so that they wouldn't be sitting out on the counter anymore. I have a large number of knives and this fit the fit the bill nicely. It is big, but you can cut to size to make it fit your drawer. Another review mentioned some kind of cutting board. I'm not sure if this is the same product, but this is for a knife organizer only -- no cutting board is included.

Block - The 2 largest knives don't even fit. The paint chips very easily.



Knives - Rust very easily and quickly - there will be rust on them just from a quick run in the dishwasher. The smaller knives are a bit ackward feeling - not balanced?



Customer Service was terrible and refused to fix the problem with the defective block. They wanted me to pay for shipping for their defective product - wouldn't be so bad if the block wasn't so heavy.



Would give it a 0-Star if I could. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

 "Dangerous - these knives break!" 2006-12-27
By T. Vasquez (Austin, TX USA)
I am rating this one star because our knives that we bought in September 2006 have started falling apart. The knife blades are a separate part from the handle, and some sort of plastic piece that binds them together has become brittle and split after 4 months of use. Twice we've had the table knives break and the blade snap backwards while cutting a steak or a piece of cheddar. These knives are absolutely dangerous.



Not only that, but the handle assembly sometimes collects dishwater. This leaks down the blade when using the knife. Yuck.



This was money flushed down the toilet because now we have to replace it with something else. It definitely won't be any more Chinese-made mass market knives.

I am not a professional chef, but I do cook on a regular basis. These knives hold their edge quite well, and with a few swipes down the included steel, the edge is back to razor sharp.

 "Good knives." 2008-08-26
By vocalease (California)
These are attractive, solid knives that are well balanced and come with a well made storage block, but you must have a good sharpener for them to cut well. The sharpening steel that comes with the set does not work well, so I purchased the Accusharp for $10 from Amazon and it's made all the difference. If you purchase this knife set buy the sharpener for an extra $10. It's well worth the investment for knives that will last a lifetime if cared for properly.

I received this set today and immediately 'tested' them on every piece of food in the kitchen! They are lovely! I was prepared for the absence of the bread knife after having read the other reviews, so I wasn't too disappointed.(Although that would be a real bonus to have actually included it in the set.) I also miss having instructions for the 8" 'stone'. Very nice to have but what do you do with it? I remember the males in my family having to develop this skill and that one could ruin a knife by doing it wrong. So I'll scout around for instructions and hope they show up before the knives need sharpening. Other than that they are a pleasure and terrific at this price! I'm glad to have them.

 "Wish I had seen this Amazon review before buying it off Ebay..." 2008-03-19
By ritzy007 (California)
I made the mistake of believing that the Ginsu 2000 knife set my roommate had in college would be comparable to this set simply because it was also from Ginsu. These knives are dull and flimsy. I never ran them through the dishwasher so despite owning them for 2 years now they have no rust spots. The reason they are rust-free is also because I avoided using them. The only time they came in handy was when I was unpacking boxes that had been taped after moving. Save your money and put it toward purchasing a J.A. Henckels or OxO set. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this absolute joke of a set.

 "Nice enough knife block, but read reviews & beware!" 2009-01-08
By gailcny
This is almost comical, really. I was looking for a knife block and only a couple of new knives. So after reading all the reviews of this set, and not finding any other knife blocks with this unusual design - except at a much higher price - I decided that I would buy this just for the knife block. Another thing that I thought would be worth keeping, however, was the honing steel. Well, guess what? It doesn't even fit into its little space! The diameter of the slot is just slightly smaller than it needs to be, so the steel sticks up at least 2 inches higher than it should, instead of fitting in all the way up to the handle!! I just had to laugh, since I went into this knowing pretty much what I was getting. It's certainly fixable, but I just had to share this.

 "Made to look good, not to use" 2007-03-19
By Naomi (Storm) (Texas)
I am very particular about my knives; I hate having other people use them or mistreat them, and I get very protective about things like how they're stored or cleaned and what they're used on. Living in a household with a roommate and her two children, I decided that instead of getting annoyed each time I found my Global or Henckels knives carelessly tossed into the sink, I would purchase a set of cheap knives for the children to use and therefore allow myself to horde my knives without feeling remorse.



I found these Pinzon knives on Amazon and unfortunately when I bought them there were only a couple of reviews, mostly pretty good. I purchased the set and awaited their delivery. Upon their arrival I checked them out, put them inside their little display case and didn't think too much about it.



When I was making dinner one day, I decided to try these knives out just to see what quality they were. The first thing that shocked me was the thickness of the blade. I never really thought I'd ever call a knife fat, but these were exactly that - these were fat knives. The edges were "ok," it was very obvious that they were roughly machine sharpened and not with a very fine grit. Unfortunately the thickness of the metal was actually obstructing the use of the knife - the knife was so thick that the blade could not cut in a downward slice in a straight line - the blade would actually veer off due to the differential thickness between the edge and the spine of the blade. Imagine taking an Idaho potato, putting the chef's knife at dead center, pushing downward and ending up with a diagonal cut which "leaned" right or left instead of going straight down the center - that's what you get with these knives.



If you're planning on doing some serious cooking with these knives, I would highly suggest saving your money and saving up for a single really good knife instead of this collection of really bad knives. Yes, I can say without a doubt that you will get far more use out of a single 8" chef's knife that costs $50-80 than out of this entire set of really bad knives.



If you only do moderate cooking, I would still say stay away from these knives - they are badly made to the point where I could consider them dangerous. You're not going to have the blade go flying off or shatter into a million pieces, but instead, you're getting a knife that will not cut straight, and that's about as dangerous as you can get.



If you're getting a set of knives that you want to look pretty on your counter, hey, this is a great set for that.
