C77SS-19P Normandy 19 Piece Cutlery Block Set, Stainless Steel

I bought this because the angle on the block was lower than typical. This has worked out exactly as expected and I no longer feel like I have to finagle knives out without catching them on the cabinets above. The knives also have stayed sharp for an exceptionally long time. I've used three or four of them nearly every day for close to 6 months now and they feel a sharp is when I first got them. Sharpening knives used to be a twice a year event for me and it might only be a once a year event now.

Was given this set as a gift and love it so much, purchased one for a bridal shower. This set is SO worth the price. Holds up very well to abuse. Edges maintain sharpness. Durable. Well made. Probably more knives than needed for everyday use, but every now and then it's great to have that "specialty" utensil. If I could give more than 5 stars I would do so. Only negative, if you can call it one, is that the knife block is on the large side and takes up about double the size we are used to having on our counters. Even so, well worth clearing something else off to make room for this winner.

Seen some bad reviews on this item, however, it is a very nice set and most of the bad reviews seem to come from people who might be leaving the item in a dishwasher to clean and steam dry. Not really good for any utensils. I use the dishwasher sometimes on them, but remove and dry after the dishwasher finished it's cycle. No Problems. Still look great. I'm sure the dishwasher will dull the edge a little, how ever I have a nice sharpener to use when the time comes.

I’ve been looking at this set for a while. I received a Amazon gift cart. Best purchase. Quality, sturdy design beautiful addition.

I bought the wood block version with the plain stainless steel knives. My only knock on the product in the steak knives. The steak knives have a serrated blade, the product description does not say that the blades are serrated on the steak knives. The steak knives also have a rather thin handle compared to the other knives. I'll probably by a separate set of steak knives to replace these once they need sharpening. Would have been a 5 Star rating with non-serrated steak knives and if the handles on them had been more robust like the other knives are.

So, I did a ton of research on knife sets and read tons of reviews before settling on these. And while I would have prefered to get one of the higher end knives that run $100 or more per knife, I didn't have the money to do that. Dispite the bad reviews about rusting on these and so many other competable knives out there, I have not had any issue yet. However I also take very good care of them. As soon as I am done cutting I wash in warm water with dawn soap and a soft sponge, then dry it with a paper towel wiping off all wet and after I put it in the block I wipe the handle off to get rid of as much finger oils as possible. They have been doing great. I use them usually several times a day cooking three meals a day, and they are holding up just fine. The sharpness is awesome, and using the honing rod usually every other day the blades have stayed very sharp.

I get such great comments on these knives. They are very high and looking and they are a dupe for another brand. Love

Nice looking set, but the steak knives are below average.

Produto de altíssima qualidade. Perfeita afiação. Lindas e modernas. Embeleza a cozinha. Amei e recomendo muito.

Perfecto

I love these knives they have a nice angle fit perfectly under my cabinets, but I don't feel they stay sharp for long.

O kit é lindo! As peças são de excelente qualidade. Peguei uma promoção incrível pela metade do preço.

Shipping and delivery service was fast. The set is awesome. Robust and very easy to clean. The knives cut very well the food. The block holds them very well, but be aware the block take a bit of counter space.
