Excellent!!! They are all they're promised to be!!! Weighted to be comfortable, easy to handle, sharp enough for any food prep so just a pleasure to use and lovely to behold.

I think a lot of product reviews are skewed by people reviewing products too early, so i personally never review until a lot of time and use has come from a product. So, i bought these back in 06 and now that i am looking at REAL knives and cookware products i decided to look back on these ones that i had and see what people are saying about them.... and so here comes my review.

I bought these knives when i moved out of my moms house into my first studio apartment while going to college. I paid for most of the things myself.. such as skillets, brooms, bedsheets and other household goods..... and so in that process of creating my mini house i decided to get some knives.

At the time these knives where cheaper than they are now and as a first set of knives for a college kid they were great- but at the same time I also thought my T-Fal non stick skillet was amazing as well.

Now that i am redoing my kitchen gear and married with my own real home these knives have no place in my kitchen.

They have a variety of problems, one of which is ugly orange handles and they are not well balanced in comparision to a good knife.
But the worst thing of all, these knives DO RUST and i take good care of them, we sharpen them and wash them after each use and dry right away....... and still there are tiny rust dots... and a lot of rust at the metal end where it says Furi.

In terms of cutting- they are good and sharp if you sharpen them on a regular basis, but the steel is not that good because one of my knives has a chip in the blade after sharpening.

So if you have to sharpen the knives often to maintain their performance ... what is the point of getting this knife set over a cheaper one, most descent knives from major retailers will perform as well as this knife set as long as they are sharpened constantley... and you might not even have to deal with the rust issue with other brands of knives.

Overall, at teh time of the purchase, when i was a college kid, this was a good knife set, but right now i do not think of it as any better than a set from any retailer that would have been half the cost or less.....so the end consensus is that i would not make this purchase again

I bought this knife set for my Mother and she absolutely loves it!
She loves to chop her vegetables and now just can't stop!
She also loves the comfortable handle and thinks the added antimicrobial touch is great too!
I would recommend this product to anyone who needs or wants a good chopping knife.
And it's nice to give your Mom a smile and let her know that she is just as good as Rachael Ray.
Now every time she watches Rachael Ray she says "hey that's my knife" and smiles.
This will definitely be on my Christmas list this year!!

I love watching the 30-minute Meals show. I have gotten a lot of great ideas for cooking quality meals fairly quickly. I have also fallen into the television trap of "I want that!" from watching the show, and I purchased several Rachel Ray items online including this knife set. The products are not bad quality, as far as I can tell.

These knives seem to be good quality. But for the price, I think some people, like me, might prefer other brands. So I would suggest looking at other sets before purchasing. I think I would have preferred to invest the money I spent in a mid priced Henckel set because I like the way they feel better in my hands and they seem just as sharp.

I love my knife set. they are so sharp no one is allowed to use MY knifes
