Customer Reviews

Great set for the essentials!4
I picked up a santoku twin select blade along with this set and I have to say, it takes care of almost 95% of the kitchen duties that I have needed thus far! I much prefer the full metal handle of the twin select line, but since these have the same shape, it's really still quite natural to hold the knife either full on the handle, or choked up with fingers on the back of the blade for chopping and other detailed cutting tasks. The sharpening steel is a nice bonus too! Great heft (you don't really lose much heft compared to the all metal twin select line) and very much a fantastic-use-it-everyday kind of knives!

Very sharp and well weighted5
I've had these knives 3 months now and use it daily as I cook a lot at home. They are very sharp and quite heavy though well balanced. Someone with a smaller hand or less beefy arms might find them a tad too big and heavy and might want to look at Global knives. However, these have been great for me and the missus making light work of cutting roast, vegetable etc. A sharp set of knives is a must and these will last a lifetime.

The Best Knives I've ever owned5
The knife set is absolutely fantastic! The knives are razor sharps, feel great in the hand, and ring like a tuning fork when sharpened. They look, feel and cut like quality. They hold an edge far longer than I expected, staying sharp for weeks between honing on the sharpening steel. They are a little heavy in the hand, but very well balanced. I highly recommend them. The best knives I've ever owned.
