Amazon.com Review
Stored in separate hardwood blocks, the five kitchen knives and six steak knives in this 13-piece set are always within reach. Though the thin-bladed, lightweight, stamped knives won't suit serious cooks seeking top quality, their blades are made of stainless steel, have durable black polypropylene handles permanently bonded to the blades, and are dishwasher-safe. Blade edges have both microserrations and larger serrations and are touted as never needing sharpening. The five kitchen knives include an 8-inch slicer, an 8-inch chef's knife, a 5- inch utility knife, a 5-inch boning knife, and a 3-inch paring knife. The slanted hardwood block has a slot in front to accommodate kitchen shears (not included). The six steak knives have 4-1/2-inch blades. The entire set carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Summary: dishwasher safe..... 2003-02-26
Comment: The set was very appealing at first but when I washed the knives the first couple of times, they started to rust. I've only had this set for 2 mos. now and they look to be one hundred years old.I agree, the price is very reasonable, but not reasonable enough just for the few times I've used it. Might as well have bought disposables. Had to throw them out..dont think its safe to be cutting food i'm actually going to put in my mouth with a knife thats loaded with rust.

Summary: cheap knives 2003-01-29
Comment: The Amazon staff writeup is absolutely accurate. These are low-end, stamped, serrated knives. They never need sharpening. Well, actually, they CAN'T be sharpened, so when they stop cutting well, you throw them out. Also, due to the serrations, you actually tear the food, rather than slicing it cleanly. That's why all of the high-end brands have keen, "razor" edges for almost all of their knives. You only really need serrated edges for things like bread and tomatoes; anything with a hard outer layer and a soft interior.My roommate owns a set of the Farberware knives. I have a low-end Henckels knife that I use instead. I've also just ordered a set of the Wusthof Grand Prix knives. They are forged, not stamped, and have keen edges. So, if you cook even once/week, get a decent set of knives. You don't have to get the Wusthof Grand Prix. Take a look at the Henckels Gourmet line. That's probably one of the best set of stamped knives that you can get. One step down from that is the Henckels International line. Keep in mind that it's better to have just two good knives rather than a complete set of bad ones. Spend more money on the chef's knife since you'll use that the most. Then get a decent utility knife for everything else. A set like that might cost about [$$$] for low-end Henckels. Then you'll have a pair of knives that you won't regret keeping for years. And they can be re-sharpened!
