Summary: Good quality at a fair price. 2007-08-07
Comment: I picked this set up in 2004 because it was on sale for 20 bucks. My majic chef II (infomercial brand) set that I recieved as a gift were finally starting to show their age (and inferior quality). So after two years the farberware set finally came out of the box about 8 months ago. So far I've been very impressed with their feel, quality, and cut. I haven't had to sharpen any of them yet. The steak knives do feel a bit light in one's hand, but the serrate is sharp and deep so it cuts STEAK extremely well. The steak knives are not well suited to cut most food because the serrates are so deep. I often have to remind myself that they are designed to cut steak, and they do that very well. The larger knives feel well balanced and have held their edge very well thus far. Sure, there are better knife sets out there. But even at the current fifty dollar price tag, this set would rival many costing much more. 5 stars is for the quality/value ratio.

Summary: apples and oranges 2006-11-30
Comment: These are good knives for the money. Yes, I know they are not Henckels...But A Henckel 8" chef knife cost $80 compaired to the cost of the Faberware forged pro knife is $20. I feel this is a good value for someone who is on a budget. The key to any knife is to keep it sharp, use the steel and have it professionally sharpened.

Summary: Pretty good, but declined in quality 2006-10-31
Comment: These knives have declined in quality: in 2002, they were firmly in the middle of Consumer Reports' knife review and named a Best Buy, but in 2005, they were at the very bottom and their cutting performance rating decreased. In my experience, the chef's knife's handle is comfortable even on hard vegetables, but it is not as sharp as my stamped Henckels. After 11 months of use, the blade has not dulled much and is unstained, but it has developed a 2-3 mm long nick at the base. By contrast, the blade of my 8 year old stamped Henckels has no visible imperfections.
Chicago Cutlery Metropolitan was named a best buy in both 2002 and 2005.
