Finally a good product for a small price

We probably went through 3 or 4 sets of knives before finding this one. The others advertised their sharpness but all couldn't slice a tomato without crushing it. These knives do everything we want and do it well.

Handles faded after only 1 wash in the dishwasher!

They knives themselves are sharp and seem to cut well, but after only 1 time in the dishwasher, the handles faded from black to dark gray. I'm considering sending them back. Anyone have any recommendations?

Sharp!

These knives are well worth the money.

Watch out though..very sharp. I ended up in ER for slicing my finger whilst trying to take them out of their packaging!

for 10 bucks maybe but still junk

I just bought a set of these. They are all serrated except for the big butcher knife. Serrated is not sharp it is a saw. The steak knives are probably good for that but there is not one knife that can cut raw meat. Serrated knives are not good for that.
The big knife has a regular edge but it is not sharp. It has a rough edge. Will NOT cut a tomato . Just smashes it.
The paring knife is serrated. No good for a paring knife. Just another steak knife.

save your money and buy one good knife for the price of all these crap knives.

Loose and rusted within a month!

I loved these knives....:( Unfortunately within a month the handles were loose and even after religious hand-washing/drying...rust! Contacted their customer support...they would replace the knives for 3$ each...hmmm...don't think so! NEVER AGAIN!!! Too bad really as they started out a dream.
