"Great food prep knives"
Clean-up well, holds cutting edge well. Food prep is easy when you have sharp knives. Well worth owning.

"Nothing beats a great set of kitchen knives"
Chicago Cuttlery is some of the finest quality knives that I have ever used. I come from a background as a butcher and I can tell you from my experiences that Chicago Cuttlery is some of the finest steel available to the consumers. Each knife is razor sharp and the is a sharpening steel when needed to hone the edges. Excellent quality at an excellent price!

"Stop!!! This set will rust!!!"
I bought this set for 19.99 and it's not worth a penny more than that. The knives rusted the first time I washed them. Really not a good set at all and I were you, I would move on and find a better set. Hope this helps!!

"Don't put any wooden handle knife in dishwasher"
Knives are easily steeled to bring edge back. The knives are very easily taken care of by washing off blade and drying. For those who think they must hve a different knife for every occasion then this will work fine. Having worked as a meat cutter since the 50's I can cut up any size beef with just the boning knife.( And a Hand Saw for the bones) It is nice to have a 12 inch blade for the Round Steaks, but can get by without.

If you get splinters from the handles, then it is obivious you are unaware how to take care of wood. I have knives from the 50's never one splinter ...of coure I have never washed a knife with a wooden handle in a dish washer either.

These can last a life time.

"Small Knives"
I have a large set w block of Chicago knives. They are good quality and have lasted for many years. This is a small block with a bunch of small knives. They all have their uses and I am getting a lot of use from these knives. I got them for a steal in a goldbox offer, or I probably wouldnt have bothered. but I use them frequently and am satisfied.

What our customer's say!

"Sahrp blades at an affordable place", When I read reviews about being knives of low quality I was worried. However they seem to meet my expectations so far.

I'm not a cook, but for a regular kitchen this knife set are more than enough.

"Nice Set", Bought this for my mother who is 82 years old, and she is very happy.

"Little", I'm normally good about reading descriptions... but somehow I missed that the large chef knife was just a litte biddy thing... Luckily for me, this happens to be my preference in knife sizes. The wood handles do need occasional oiling, no biggie there. I mainly bought the set for the 8 steak knives and am very pleased... and since was a sale item, it was defiantely cheap enough to be worth it.

"Excellent cutlery", Excellent product, and unreal price! I've used Chicago Cutlery for over 35 years, and am still very happy with their knives.

"Superb value", Great item for the prices. Superb quality, great set. Highly recommend this purchase

"Very basic, but they work.", For Cutlery purposes, Chicago is now found in mainland China. For what they cost ($20 Gold Box) they're great. I think they're going to give my made-in-Chicago brand Chicago knives a run for the money!

"Not that great", I bought these knives for $20 when they were on the Gold Box sale (at Amazon). I have purchased Chicago Cutlery's "Walnut Traditions" knives in the past and found them to be of decent quality. These knives are of substantially lower quality than the old "Walnut Traditions" knives. While $20 is not a bad price for a complete set of knives, I wouldn't be happy if I had paid more. The steel is much flimsier (is that a word?) and the handles are not as nice as the old version. The wooden storage block seemed nice (I think it's made out of rubberwood).

"Handles are junk, split and 'threading' slivers of wood", Junk. I was amazed, as I have a GREAT set of Chicago Cutlery (440A Fine series). You just cant make them better than that set...but they proved they can do the opposite. This isnt even good as a starter set, as you're never going to use them without kevlar gloves, unless you like splinters and cutting yourself from using more force to slice from the dull unsharpable blades.

"Terrific Value, Handles Need Help", I got this set for my mom for Christmas. She is a "cook", no t a chef, so the knives are fine for her purposes. Better than what she had. The biggest disappointment was the wood handles, I don't know if they were not treated or what, but right out of the box they were dry and rough. They felt like they would give you splinters. My mom put some oil on them and it helped, but had I seen the handles as they were before purchase, I probably would not have purchased them. Or at least made the handles more presentable myself. But - I paid $25 for them and can't really complain too much.

"You get what you pay for.", Sometimes in life, you can pay a little and get a lot. But not this time.

I've had this set for about 6 years. I received it as a gift from my sister. We cook A LOT and so we feel we know a bit about knives through experience.

The wood handles dry out quickly, so you need to buy some mineral oil and apply it often. They won't look like they do in the picture for long, soon they will look like dried out - driftwood.

The metal that the blades are made of is very cheap, and don't hold an edge. The bread knife broke within a year, the metal blade just snapped in half. My wife wasn't abusing it, I forget exactly how it happened, but its the only knife we've ever broken and we have some nice Henkels and some cheaper ones we bought from Walmart.

The block is fine, its sturdy and holds together decently.

The knife sharpener rod works adequately ... if you know how to use it. Its easy to dull your knife on it. I prefer to use a block to sharpen my knives, in comparison to this precise one that comes with this set.

Anyway if you are on an extreme budget, I guess its not a bad deal, especially if you buy it on a gold box discount. But you need to keep your expectations low low low if you buy this set.
