Cutlery Set w/Knife Roll German Steel, 4-Piece, Stainless Steel

Really sharp and durable!

This knife (I'm specifically keeping the full size western style one in mind for this review) knows exactly what its purpose is and extremely impressive for the price. This is an affordable knife set whose n. 1 purpose is to get garbage cheaply mass-produced knives out of peoples hands and give them a real chefs tool. The knives are weighty, well balanced, *confidence inducing,* and will probably only rust if you have no idea how to care for steel, and a word on the steel.. 1.4116 or whatever its called should by all means be a low tier steel, that's at least the impression you get as a knife nerd who genuinely watches Larrin Thomas videos for entertainment by looking at graphs of hardness vs edge retention, and I was disappointed by how bad it looked, but keep in mind that n.1 purpose, to be a bridge between dumpster tier knives and deliver a *real knife* to as many people as possible without getting pricey enough to get diminishing returns for that n.1 goal. Something about the way they handle this steel, the 1.4116 is just a treat to work with. It takes a keen edge incredibly well, and while knife sharpening is never easy per se, this is the least intimidating knife I have ever sharpened. Our household has 3 proper cooked meals every week and has had that consistently for years, and with that it can still take about a month on the low end for a knife sharpening to be required, and keep in mind the wetting of the whetstone takes longer than actually sharpening the blade, its that stupidly effortless for someone who's sharpened before (our whetstone is 1000/6000 grit, about 60$). The geometry of the knife is also phenomenal, very thin and slicey, I actually think a recent Outdoors55 video confirmed a lot of my biases on this knife and was pleased with how he ranked it too. This knife excels in every way and I am not kidding, the way it was optimized really does make this punch so much higher than its price range, low tier steel? Its a kitchen knife buddy, it needs to be rust resistant and take a good edge. Soft steel? Yeah, our knifes have bent tips, good thing its a KITCHEN KNIFE, not a bushcraft knife, know what your priorities are. The designers of this knife really knew exactly W.T.F they were doing. P.S. I had to get stitches from the paring knife! Healed up beautifully, goes to show how well these take an edge and how complacent I got only ever using dull knives, use your knives smartly!

Cuchillos super afilados, excelente presentacion y material de alta calidad. Los mangos no son completamente redondos y permiten buen agarre, la funda para guardarlos es un excelente accesorio, excelente compra.

Excellenty Knives. would really recoment this set to anyone travelling needing good set of knives.

These are not the best knives on the market and I think that’s kind of the point. These are good quality functional knives that are a great starting point for someone. They come surprisingly sharp so handle with care right out of the box. The 3 pack (chef, bread, pairing) is perfect to get started cooking, or if you just have a smaller kitchen and don’t want to store a block on the counter. The handles feel nice and the full tang design paired with good steel means you don’t have to worry about the blade snapping off like so many other knives in this price bracket. The knife roll is a great addition as it provides a safe storage option so no one is reaching into a drawer and coming out with a cut hand.

Great knives, lasted me years. Still sharpen well. Very solid weight to it, will buy again!
