FarberwareEdgekeeper 16-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Block Set with Built in Knife Sharpener, High Carbon-Stainless Steel Kitchen Knives, Razor-Sharp Knife Set, Black

I bought these and was very pleased at first. Looked very nice on my counter tops, they cut very well and the variety of knifes was perfect. Sadly, after having them for 3 weeks they started to rust. Not just one but all.

Amazing product for the price!!!

I loved the look of this knife set until they started to rust on week 3! They were hand washed and dried and were not put in the dishwasher!

So look, these are $80. Compare that to the same set from cutco which is $1200. So, we all know you get what you pay for. Lets not go expecting something high quality and heavy. That being said, these do the trick. Mine came what looked like USED though. Cant be 100% sure, but a few of the handles were scratched leading me to believe this. The blades were fine. I washed them well, and am going to look past it. One thing to note: In my second pic, that haze look is actually wood dust from the block. Once putting the knife in and pulling it back out, there was the dust. Just be cautious. Pay attention. Overall, so far, a good set for the price.Edit: After looking at the white ones, they are actually made differently from the silver knives. They look better in the sense that there isn't a gap where water can get into where the handle meets the blade. Its molded better/differently than the silver knives which I find is odd.

Sharpness, material, appearance is great

I bought this as an anniversary gift for my parents on their 25th year. They love them and use them almost everyday. Will serve them well for many many years to come, great bang for your buck since it has a sharpener built into the block. Very easy to clean, and sharpen. Comes super sharp, and ready to use right out of the box.

I thought this would be a great and affordable option however, within a year the knives began to rust. I make sure they’re dry before placing them back in the block, but it doesn’t seem to help.

Item came with knives all individually wrapped. the handles are hollow thus not creating a solid and balanced feel. They are sharp and deliver as advertised. A few pieces had minor scratches on the handles probably from being tossed about during processing and shipping. Based on price...not an issue!
