Chicago Cutlery | Fusion 18 Piece Forged Premium Knife Block Set with Wooden Storage Block | Cushion-Grip Handles with Stainless Steel Blades | Resists Stains, Rust, & Pitting | Lifetime Warranty

These are excellent knives. I am not a professional chef, so I'm sure that I don't know everything there is to know about knives, but I do cook ALOT and these have been an absolute pleasure to use every day. Their weight and balance feel great in your hand, and these knives are super SHARP! I picked this set in particular over other Chicago Cutlery sets that i was looking at because I prefer the slightly rubberized grips on these ones versus the slick plastic handles on some of the others. My hands are often wet during cooking and these just feel more secure in my hand. The wooden block that they came in is gorgeous and looks great in my kitchen.I wanted to mention the steak knives that come with the set just because they seemed to be a point of concern in the other reviews I read about these knives before I bought them. People have said that the steak knives are flimsy and snap in half if dropped. I saw posted pictures of some that were broken in three pieces. So that could be a small concern and something to keep in mind as a possibility of happening. I decided to buy them anyway because the steak knives are just sort of included and not what I was really buying the set for. I figured if they broke they would not break the bank to replace. So far, I have used them daily and none of mine have broken. They are all still sharp and in great shape. The steak knives are made of one piece of metal without the rubberized handles that the rest of the other knives have, and feel light in your hand. I would have preferred if they had the textured handles like the rest of them but they still look nice. I suppose they could potentially break if dropped at an unfortunate angle on a hard floor, but I'm using them to cut steak, not hurling them at the walls or on the floor.I also read that these will rust easily. Being as this is a nice set of knives, I have chosen not to find out if they will rust if left wet. I hand wash and dry mine after using and they are as beautiful as the day I bought them. Most nice knives are not recommended to be placed in the dishwasher, and these are no exception, so I would suggest putting in the extra 30 seconds to wash and dry them yourself to keep them pretty. Overall, this is a great set of knives, perfect for any kitchen!

I've had these knives for about a month now, and I love them! The handle coating is smooth and easy to grip and feels like it will last for years (as well as be reasonably easy to replace when it finally does break down). The knives themselves have a comfortable weight to them and they are seriously sharp! The santoku and partoku blades are both new to me, but are quickly becoming my favorite daily utility knives. I've seen the issue that a lot of people mention about the blades not lining up perfectly evenly in the block, personally I'm more interested in functionality and this set has oodles of functionality. About the only lack in my mind is a heavy cleaver, and I can't recall seeing any knife set anywhere that includes one of those.Update: After more than six months of heavy usually daily use (at least for my 3 favorite blades) they're still perfect. Light honing is all that's needed to keep them super sharp. No signs of rust, no chipping or breaking and the handle coating is not showing any signs of breaking down. Take proper care of these knives and they'll last a lifetime.Another update: A year and a half down the road, and the knives are STILL perfect and still wonderfully sharp! I use several of the knives almost daily and it's only ever taken a few passes through my sharpener or with the steel to keep them sharp. There's no hint of rust, no chipping of the blades or broken tips. Seriously, they still look brand new.

These knives were an excellent bargain! Coming from cheap stamped knives from softer stainless steel that never stayed sharp, these forged knives, also stainless steel, are made from stronger, harder steel that stay sharp much longer. They are really only stain resistant, as true stainless steel is made from a softer alloy. The only downside is you should wash and dry the knives soon after use to keep them like new (no soaking in dish water or putting them in the dishwasher). There are more knives in this set than I even need, but for the quality I would have expected to pay much, much more. They cut SO much better than my previous knives, and they are so sharp they cut meat more easily than my older serrated steak knives. The bread knife, however, is serrated. I don't recommend using the included "knife sharpener". Buy a high quality 2 stage knife sharpener/honer, or buy a quality knife stone and strop and learn to use them properly. That being said, many reviewers have stated that these knives do not need to be sharpened very frequently, as a strop or knife honer works well until the knives finally begin to become dull (anywhere from 6 months to more than two years, depending on how frequently they are used and what you are cutting). The packaging stated that you should never use these knives to try to lever apart frozen foods (i.e. frozen hotdogs in a package), and the knife blades have been know to sometimes break when dropped on hard tile or cement floors. However, these knives come with a lifetime warranty, so if in the unlikely event they ever do break, Chicago Cutlery will replace them! I hope you enjoy using these knives as much as I have been.
