Very good knives. Be very careful when washing, I cut myself twice already (the first time I wasn't even aware of it for a few hours). In the description the maker indicates that the knives should be hand washed and dried, and not soaked... That's because the handles are very stain-saturated, if left wet the stain bleeds out onto the blade. Nevertheless, they were made to cut, and that's exactly what they do. Regarding the price, I bought them on sale, and I think that the sale price should be the retail price to make the set a good value.

I have used these knives for several years and look forward to using them whenever possible. I have never experienced the "tearing" as described above. I looked for them on this site so I could give them as a gift to friends.

The recipients were very pleased with the set. Very well made knives and nicely packaged.

They are sharp which is what I wanted, however the main reason I ordered them is because I wanted good knives that are dishwasher safe. These are proving not to be! They are starting to get stains on them, and I have only had them a month. I am thinking of returning them even though though they cut beautifully.

Not much more I can say other than they have a good weight in the hand, they cut thru steak like butter, and the box is really cool-looking.

I got a set of four of these same steak knives for Christmas 2004, and they've been excellent. They've seen constant use and are still razor-sharp.

It's been a real revelation to me: So this is what good kitchen knives are like, and this is why they cost more than the lightweight stuff!

I've never had a genuinely good chef's knife, paring knife, etc. But when I'm ready to get a serious set, I know exactly what brand I'll buy.

I purchased these knives after having purchased and returned mundial steak knives that had great blades, but the black plastic handles faded after only one hand washing. These knives have serrated blades and are fine for cutting steak on a plate, and I don't think I would want steak knives to be any sharper than what these are, because if so, they would damage my dinner plates. You aren't supposed to wash them in the dishwasher, but I have several times now and they came through as good as new. The rose wood box is nothing special, but it's okay. Overall, for the price, I'm quite happy with these knives.

These knives came in a beautiful box, and are the perfect steak knife!

I just received these knifes and I was very pleased. The quality was great on the knifes and the box was even nice. You are always hesitant buying something without seeing it, but I was pleasantly surprised with this set. For the money you just can't beat it.

Don't let the price fool you. Yes, they seem expensive but they are worth every penny. If you are a meat and steak lover, these are for you!!
