"OK for the price"
The main reason I picked this if for the combination. I like the santoku and partoku knives. Overall the white plastic is pretty cheap looking and is not finished well. You see flash all over the edges whch could have been easily trimed where ever this was manufactured. Besides the not so contemporary design, the knives are good.

"Became dull in 3 months."
I bought this knife set Jan 28, 2008, four3 months ago. It became dull so easily. I am not happy with the quality. Don't be happy with the cheap price when it comes with lighting deal. I will not buy any Chicago Cutlery knives again.

"Good knife set and the missing knife"
Got this set a few months ago at the Gold Box price. Not bad compared to what similar would cost at retail. Free shipping was good. Had noted a couple of reviews after I ordered the set spoke of a "missing knife." When I got my set, I checked the contents and noted the bread knife was missing. I sent an email to the parent company of Chicago knife listed in the literature. Got a reply a couple of days later, sorry for the missing knife, they would send one. Actually got it about 8 weeks later. Better late than never. No charge. Complain, folks, complain!!!

"Very dissappointed"
We received this attractive knife set for a wedding gift only 6 months ago. We finally both agreed to give them to Goodwill and find another set. These knives seem so dull to me, despite all the high reviews. I am so not happy with this brand. I find myself grabbing my cheap ginsu knives that seem to have a sharp edge forever. I just don't understand how this is possible? I feel bad that someone spent over $80 dollars on an item that is sub-par. They are really nice to look at but poor in functionality.

"tried it twice but just couldn't keep it"

It looked like a good deal with a nice variety of utensils and an attractive set up. The first set that was delivered came without a bread knife so I grudgingly sent it back and asked for another set. When the return set was delivered it TOO was delivered without a bread knife so at that point I decided to cut my loses (pun intended) and get my money back. It was an attractive knife set and I really could have used it but I have better things to do with my time than to drive to the post office to return packages. I will try another company next time.
