Lief + SVEIN German Steel Knife Block Set, 9-Piece Kitchen Knife Set & Wood Block, X50Cr15Mov Stainless Steel Knives, Unique kitchen knives set with block as an Ipad holder. Ideal Kitchen knife sets.

I bought these knives in December 2020 to go in our new kitchen. They are brilliant. They look stylish on the worktop and the block, like the knives, is ergonomically designed and very convenient Sharp, smart and sturdy, they are everything one could want in a kitchen knife. I used them to carve today's roast beef, which our son had cooked, and he watched as the knife glided through it like butter. So I have just ordered another set for him for Christmas, as he has coveted them from day one!

Excellent product. High quality and very sharp blades

Nothing to dislike: Delivery and pricing very good, we have had these knives for a while now and they perform well, keeping sharp and looking great. Definitely recommend these.

Really love these knives. I bought them as a gift for my husband. He's delighted with the quality. The steel is super sharp and precise. The handles are smooth with a non slip grip. Very stylish and the wooden block has the added bonus of having a cut out to stand a mobile phone on . Very handy for following a recipe app . Not advised to put them in the dish washer but hay ho as a down side its not that important

Some of the prior reviews were either overly effusive or overly negative, in my opinion. My knife set arrived properly packaged, the knives were all sharp and undamaged. Previous reviews conflict about country of manufacture and warranty.The knives state that they are made from a certain standard of German steel, but they are manufactured in China (presumably from aforementioned German steel) and they come with a one year warranty (bit of a faff to find the vendor warranty registration).The vendor clearly states not to place in a dish washer.The only 'let down' is the sharpening steel - the handle is cheep plastic and doesn't match the knives hence only 4 stars,.All that said, I'm happy with my purchase at this price point. I'd love to own pro quality knives, but can't justify the cost.Update: so 6 months on and the two knives (not the bread knife as not used much) that are used pretty much daily are still as sharp as day one. Very happy

Remember these knives are not stainless steal so don't leave them in water. They are supper sharp and well made. I was a butcher and fish monger and these are better than we used to cut and fillet. Great price and quality but are not ment to be left in water if you want that buy a stainless steal set

This is a really well made product. Great quality for a mid range price. Well balanced and ridiculously sharp. Well worth it. I'm not a chef so I'm not comparing this with professional equipment but they are very good for your normal human.

I have been looking for a new knife set for the last couple of years, Since I accidentally left my old set on a boat I sold. Unsure if I should build my set my self mixing German and Japanese knives or a set of either. My previous German knifes I kept in a fitted lockable briefcase. I have never owned a block until now. I love that my device fits on the block at perfect angle allowing for experimental recipes. This with the quality of the knives their ergonomic handles the extremely sharp forged blades, to be honest they seem to me almost a crossbreed slightly heavier than a Japanese set, and slightly lighter than the German set I previously owned. It remains to be seen how long their edge remains before I need to sharpen them, but so far every task I have given them, they have not let me down, these knives makes for a wonderful addition in my kitchen and any home. I recommend them highly.
