Farberware 22-Piece Never Needs Sharpening Stainless Steel Knife Set with Block Black

The knife set is classic Farberware quality. It is a 22 pc set with a butcher block type knife stand. The blades are made of high carbon stainless steel with serrated edges. The "wave edge" technology fuses a serrated edge with a fine edge for a precise, clean cut. The knives are very sharp, seem very strong and durable. The nonslip handles have a high quality texture for a sure grip, even when wet. They claim the blades never need sharpening. I have only had them a few days so I can't attest to that but so far they seem to be of great quality, sharp, easy cutting blades, with high quality handles. Time will tell about the sharpening. The set includes an 8" Chef Knife, 8" Slicing Knife, 8" Bread Knife, 5" Santoku Knife, 5.5" Utility Knife, 4.5" Steak Knives (6), and a 3.5" Paring Knife. Also included is a very nice wooden holder/stand, a pair of all-purpose household shears, Set of 3 black/white Spatulas, and a set of 5 black plastic measuring spoons. There is a life-time limited warranty that covers defects in material and workmanship. Directions: Hand-washing for all fine cutlery is recommended. Hand wash with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry immediately. For safety, wash each item separately not with other cutlery or utensils. Made in China. I know and trust the Farberware Brand to be of long lasting quality items and look forward to using these knives for many years. I recommend these knives!

These knifes are really great, I use them daily several tomes a day, it makes preparing food a snap. Be real careful the tips are really sharp mas I found out the wrong way , reached in water and got stuck through my glove, thank goodness I was wearing. I really like these knifes.

This set of knives is very sharp with a comfortable grip and is well-balanced. As seen in the pictures I've included in this review, the left side of the blade is more deeply serrated than the right side. In most applications this does not seem to be an issue, but IF you are left handed and are slicing something firm like potatoes, be aware that the blade will tend to move to the side, preventing a straight slice. This problem was not noticed by the right-handed users of the same knives. I used this set to cut bread, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, beets, squash, raw meat, cooked steak, and a multitude of other things. Overall, I must say that I was quite satisfied with their performance. The scissors that are included are also very sharp and work well cutting open packages, as well as more typical kitchen shear duties like cutting chicken joints or skin. Just don't forget to thoroughly sanitize them after use like any other knife. The knife block is beautiful solid wood that is well constructed. The measuring spoons are plastic but seem solid, accurate, and have a helpful measurement of a half tablespoon included in the set. The scrapers seem to be a bit cheaply made, but being a bonus item, I was not disappointed in them. They declare on them they are not heat resistant, so think of them only for batter bowl scrapers or some such as that.

I received my Fiberware 22- Piece Wave Edge Cutlery Set with Block a few weeks ago, and it came in time for Labor Day for my BBQ. This set comes with a 8 in Chef Knife which I love, 8 in Slicing Knife which prefect for Slicing my pork shoulder on Labor Day, 8 in Bread Knife, 5 in Santoku Knife, 5 1/2 in Utility Knife, 6 Nice Steak Knives which are 4 1/2 in, Paring Knife 3 1/2 in, A Set of 5 Measuring Spoons and a Set of 3 Spatulas (which my Son loves), A Pair of All-Purpose Household Shears and a Block to store all these items. Also, what I love about these Knives you don't have to Sharpening them and High-Carbon Stainless Steel Blades make them easy to cut through meats, breades, fruits and so on. The black handle grips on these Knives are prefect because they won't slip out your hand. This set of Knives are prefect for the person like myself loves to cook and grill. They would make an excellent gift for the person who loves to be in the kitchen preparing great meals.

THE FABERWARE 22 PIECE WAVE EDGE CULTERY SET AND BLOCK ARE THE BEST ADDITION TO MY KITCHEN IN A LONG TIME. THEY ARE THE SHARPEST KNIVES I HAVE EVER OWNED. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED IN THIS SET. I DON'T NORMALLY GO FOR THE FABERWARE BRAND. IN THE PAST IT HAS ALWAYS SEEMED JUST ORDINARY OR YOUR BASIC BUDGET FRIENDLY ITEMS WITH BASIC QUALITY. I MUST SAY I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS KNIFE SET. THESE KNIVES ARE SUPER SHARP, I THOUGHT WHEN I SAW THEM YEAH RIGHT WAVE EDGE SO WHAT IT CAN'T BE ANY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER KNIFE, BUT I WAS WRONG. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS YOU CAN SLICE TOMATOES PAPER THIN IF YOU WANT TO, SO I GIVE THE WAVE EDGE AN A+. THE MEASURING SPOON SET AND THE SPATULA SET ARE KINDA OF CHEESY, I REALLY HATE THAT COMPANIES INCLUDE THINGS LIKE THIS JUST SO THEY CAN SAY THERE ARE MORE PIECES IN THE SET, BUT I USE THEM AS WELL. AS I SAID THIS IS STILL THE BEST ADDITION TO MY KITCHEN IN A LONG TIME, AND THE KNIVES SEEM TO BE STURDY I THINK THEY WILL LAST A LONG TIME.

I've been wanting to invest in a good knife set and I started with this 22 pc Farberware set. Knives and Scissors storable within the wooden block, 3 Rubber Spatulas and 1/4 t. to 1 T sized Measuring Spoons all in the box. I usually prefer a straight edged blade as opposed to serrated, but I couldn't possibly knock this set until it's been tested. So, I began with one of the 8" knives and was able to cut and clean frozen chicken with no hassles. I washed the knife and immediately used to cut raw potatoes. The potato cuts were randomly easy to challenging to cut through and I want to blame that on the blade being serrated. Which is why I only gave 4 stars(I would've liked to have some of the blades be straight edged instead of all serrated) It did however get the job done. I used one of the steak knives instead of the parer to slice a few stalks of green onions and it did an amazing clean cut job. Most times a serrated blade tends to drag across or delay cutting with such a fine vegetable, but this did great. I will possibly go back and forth between uses with my straight edged blades. They seem pretty sturdy. I haven't experienced any loose blades, threats of breaking or rusting and I'm pleased thus far.

Extremely pleased with the overall quality. Nice-they state no sharpening necessary. Time will tell. Life in the kitchen will be the 'true' test. I'm ready. The knives have a great, comfortable feel. Even through frozen beef they worked quite well. You can really get a good thin cut for stirfry meats. The shears are not the best. Seem a tad out of alignment. The wood storage block is tremendous as it doesn't feel like it will tip over easily. That's a perk. The set came with not only the knife set, block and scissors, but measuring spoons and spatulas. The latter are what I call on the more 'flimsy' side. But extra spatulas can always come in handy. This set is what would make a great gift: house-warming, student off to college, etc. Most practical. Check it out.

The knives are okay for basic chopping, but some feel a bit flimsy and the handles aren't very comfortable for long use. They don't cut as smoothly as I expected, though they do the job for simple tasks. The serated blades make it difficult to cut some items.

Overall, great value. If this is your first set of everyday knives in a nice block, you can't go wrong. However, the more experienced chef would probably like a more stable blade.Because the ones with this set of knives , although functional are a little bit flimsy.

I had high hopes for this set because of the Farberware name, but I'm afraid I'm doomed to disappointment. I'd love to show you examples of the cuts they make, but my camera on my phone seems to be on a coffee break at the moment. These knives are nothing like the Farberware knives that I own and have used for years. Comparing the heft, weight, and feel of these knives to my old ones makes these seems like a "Barbie Dream House" set. I will start out by saying that I've been really pleased so far with the bread knife, because I bake a lot at home and use it often. The chef's knife and the santoku knife have been fine so far, but my fear (unrealized, as yet) is that the knife blade is going to separate from the handle. The blades just don't seem very securely attached. I have not served steak so far, so I can't report much on the steak knives, but I have used them once or twice to slice tomatoes, and they were great for that. The paring knife, on the other hand, is completely useless. I'd have better luck peeling vegetables with my fingernails. The knives do look nice in the block, and if I had the counter space, I'd keep them in the block on the counter. Instead, I keep my knives on a magnetic knife strip I found at Ikea (love it!). I hope this will help them hold an edge longer. I hate to write a negative review when none of the knives have actually broken, but I just don't enjoy using these as I do my other Farberware knives. They feel flimsy, and while some work fine, others do not. If you don't spend a lot of prep time in the kitchen, or don't have much money to invest, this set might be fine for you. Otherwise, I'd recommend upgrading to something a little more substantial.
