These knives are super dull. No joke! For instance, on the paring knife, you would do better to buy the Walmart $.98 paring knife, which is much sharper than this paring knife.
The other knives in the set are dull as well.
I'm very disappointed that the blue color of the blades have faded, scratch, tarnish, turned black since using the knives. And I've only used the knives once or twice!
For instance, on this Paring knife, I used it twice to peel six of the little cutie oranges. 🍊
And I noticed the blue blade literally had turned black on the tip and on the sides of the blades,
I don't know if it's from the acid of the oranges? But no matter, the knives blades should not have faded or changed color!
Note; I used Dawn dish soap and warm water to wash them and I dried the knives with a soft dish towel.
If you look at the photos, you'll see how these pretty blue blades turned black on the tip with splotches of black on the sides.
You'll also notice there's some scratch marks on the blades and I'm not sure how that happened.
I hardly think peeling oranges or cutting up sliced carrots that were in a can and were already soft when I diced the carrots up smaller would scratch the blades!
And by the handle on one photo you'll notice a little spot of what looks like rust.
Not only are these knives very, very dull, the blue color on the blades literally comes off or turns black and scratches quite easily!
It makes me wonder if the blades don't have a blue Teflon coating on them. They're obviously not stainless steel! The blue color is obviously temporary!
I'm very disappointed because these knives initially looked so beautiful when I first displayed them on the wall.
But if the knives are all going to turn black, tarnish, scratch and rust, nobody wants to display that unsightly and dirty, looking knife set on their kitchen wall! 😡
This is a very inferior quality of knives. Like something that you'd get at a dollar store!
I'm really disappointed because
I really loved the blue color.
I'm actually fighting with myself to have to return this blue-colored knife blades set because the blades are so dull and now they look unsightly and dirty.
I've only used them twice! And I'm sure if I kept these dull knives over time, they will look worse and worse.
I would not recommend anyone wasting their money and investing in these inferior quality knives; especially not for a gift!
