imarku Knife Set - Knife Sets for Kitchen with Block, 14PCS High Carbon Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife Set, Dishwasher Safe Knife Block Set with Ergonomic Handle, Kitchen Essentials

After breaking 3 knives and losing a couple more, I looked to replace my now-incomplete 2-year-old knife set/block. The knives in my old set all broke at the exact same location: right where the blade meets the handle. Consequently, my primary goal for buying a new set of knives was not only to replace the ones that broke and have complete set but also make sure they would not break at this weak spot where the handle connects to the blade. Given I am an interior design freak, a secondary goal of mine for this purchase was something that looked good and would match my other appliances, especially since it would utilize previous counter space. Those are the reasons I ended up buying this product. The box opening experience is quite satisfying: much more so that expected. The box itself is very well designed, making it look like a premium product that would be easy to gift, and all the knives were protected with hard plastic edges, soft plastic bags, and cardboard. I found the knives have a great feel to them: they have a perfect weight (not too light but not too heavy as well), the handles are textured making, and their lengths matches my hand – making them easy to handle. I mostly use the steak knives (every day), shears (every day), santoku (3 times a week), and bread knife (once a week). I've been very happy with all of these: they come out of the box with very sharp blades, cut through hard (e.g., frozen meat) and soft (e.g. tomatoes) easily, and the combined handle/blade make them feel very secure and under control during use. A couple of signs these are good knives, especially compared to my old ones, is that I've noticed 1) my soft food doesn't “squish” anymore while cutting and 2) the knives' blades, especially the longer ones, don't bend. I've been hand washing them without any issues, but cannot comment on using a dishwasher since I do not own one. I don't use the knife sharpener since I already own a bigger/better hand-held one with multiple sharpening options, so I cannot comment on this product's efficacity, although I find it ingenious to integrate it directly into the block, especially for those looking for a complete solution. I will update this review if things come up in the near future and my feelings about this product changes. From an interior design standpoint, I love the knife block's black color that contrasts really well with the steel/silver knives and the gold/brown accent color (for the logo). I also love the knives' handles' design, with their curvy black design that add a nice contrast, in addition to the scissors that have a unique look to them with a twisty curve near the handles. Together, these small design choices not only add to the premium feel of this product but also matches my (black and silver) kitchen appliances and accent color (gold/yellow) that I use throughout my kitchen. In fact, I've had quite a few complements from friends and family regarding how nice the block looks and how well they fit within

So HAPPY I bought these! I was needing a new set and I wanted something super sharp that would cut anything. I do a lot of cooking and these are perfect! These have replaced my old stainless steel set which were pretty worthless at cutting, and these are just wonderful. The grip is great. They cut beautifully and they wash up very easily. I'm so thankful the shank is seamlessly attached to the blade. The design is perfect. Very nice presentation in the wood block. Fits perfectly on my counter. I also love the price. These are awesome and I'd highly recommend!

These knives arrived expertly packaged with no damage. The block has a beautifully designed modern aesthetic. The kitchen scissors are heavy-duty. The steak knives have sharp, jagged edges that are wonderful for the dinner table. All of the pieces are well made. My dad is a 40 year resort chef, and he was impressed with the quality.

This is the sharpest knife set I have ever owned. Super nice quality, well made and looks amazing on my counter. I wash all the pieces by hand, since they are super sharp I do not want one of my kids grabbing it from the dishwasher and accidently cutting themselves. Has a knife in the block for every cooking need too. Good price, awesome gift idea, highly recommend.

This is an excellent basic set of knifes that is perfect for a two person home. The knife set arrived in excellent condition due to the great packaging that survived the rigors of shipping. The knife set arrived in very sharp condition and for the past three weeks of use has remained in perfect cutting shape.This is a small set of knifes but it meets every cutting requirement that has occurred very well.I am very pleased with the quality and handling features of this blade set. I have not used the serrated steak knives yet but they look like they will function well. The scissors are exceptionally sharp and are a nicely added very useful item.Since the knifes have remained very sharp I have not had to sharpen them so I do not know if they will be easy or difficult to sharpen. However, they do appear to be high carbon content stainless steel and that would make them easy to sharpen when the need arises.

This set comes with one scissor, six steak knives, and six knives for food preparation. The block is gorgeous medium brown with a sharpener on one side. It has the logo on the front which I don't really care for as it distracts from the beauty of the wood. The knives feel light in my hand and really well balanced! These are one piece construction and easy to handle and use, no rivets! The handles have a nice stripe design which helps with gripping the knife. These may not be top of the line but they are definitely really nice to use, cutting through everything easily! These arrived nicely packaged, sharp, and ready for use.

I have been recently getting into BBQ everything. I was looking for a nice butcher knife and a really good one can be very expensive. Me being a novice I came across this one. Very affordable and me not knowing any better I purchased this one. I pulled it out of the box and the weight of it is great and well balanced. I sharpened it and it was cutting steaks like a hot knife threw butter. I am so happy with it I bought another one to gift to my Dad for his birthday since he saw mine and was so impressed by it. I take very good care of it and keep it in its original box and keep it hidden from the wife. Lol!

I can't say enough about these knives. They are so sharp, and high quality stainless steel. I did the tomato drop and the knife sliced right through it. They are stylish, heavy duty, not to mention how pretty they are. The acacia wood block is sturdy and modern, and has a sharpener on the side. As you can see by the photo, the design on the handles is grooved, and the grip is very ergonomic. The manufacturer touts a lifetime warranty and 100% money back guarantee. These are replacing my old Cuisanart knives, that pale by comparison.

Got this as a gift for my Boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. He religiously washes and drys it after each use then stores it in the leather cover it brings. I've seen it in action and can attest it indeed cuts through meats smooth as butter. Especially raw chicken breasts which we all know can be annoying.I picked this knife as a gift for him because of its unique shape, I wanted a type of knife that doesn't normally come in knife sets and I'm pleased to say this exceeded my expectations!Pros:-comes with its own cover-the cover has a loop so it can be clipped onto pants if you decide your feeling outdoorsy or hung on a kitchen rack for display-cuts so so smoothly-Doesn't rustCons:-awkward shape-large in size and can be hard to store

Great set of knives for the money. I love that they are one piece, it makes them much easier to clean. I do wish there were different options for the block color, but the darker stained block has grown on me and I don't dislike it as much as I initially thought I would.
