Product Description

Our knives are designed to capture the best qualities of the best German knives, to which we have added a modern designed handle for comfort and safety. The knives are forged from high carbon no-stain steel from Solingen, Germany. They are treated to achieve an HRC of 58, meaning they have the same hardness factor as top German knives to retain their razor-sharp edge. The stiff blades are gently curved for hours of easy chopping. The knives are stored in a unique and very funky knife block which hygienically doesn't trap dust, grease and bacteria.

8 Piece Knife Set with Tempered Glass Block Review

I do the cooking in the house, so I decided to try out this knife set. They are marketed as "professional", but I would say that they are better described as "high end", the sort of thing that makes a nice wedding gift. The knives are sharp and look good; the holder is stylish (but perhaps fragile), but the knives are not as balanced as other quality knives.

Pro:
There are a lot of nice knife designs here, at one fairly reasonable price. The knives are German steel, but made in China. The small instruction pamphlet says they are designed in Australia. They are very sharp, and have nice chrome accents.

The holder has a 30 day warranty, but it looks great and holds the knives well. It is designed such that it uses a lot of vertical space, unlike most wood blocks that take up more horizontal space but don't reach as high.

Overall, this is a stylish set, and would look good in any modern kitchen.

25 year warranty on the knives themselves.

Con:
The kitchen sheers are not nearly heavy enough for the kind of work sheers are used for. They are more like scissors. There is a bottle opener on one end and (inexplicably) what appears to be a screwdriver tip on the other side of that end.

For a casual use knife, these are somewhat hard to maintain. Because of the high grade steel, they will need to be sharpened occasionally, and for the same reason they cannot be used in a dish washer (apparently they will stain, but possibly rust - I didn't try it).

The knives are of a "1/2 design" - the steel tang does not go all the way to the bottom of the handle; instead, the steel blade is inserted into the handle. A really good quality knife will have the steel go from the tip of the blade to the bottom of the handle. But that uses more of the expensive steel, whereas this design uses cheaper handle material in the entire handle. The knives work either way, but this is the cheaper construction.

I do not care for the balance of the knives, particularly the Chef's knife; they are weighted towards the blade.

The handles are designed for a casual rather than professional hold; the indentations work well when the knife is held improperly, but do not work as well when the knife is held according to culinary standards. The two exceptions are the bread knife, which works fine with this design, and the utility knife, which is only used for small cutting.

I was astonished to find that the very large box it comes in did not include an assembled block! Not only that, it has to be screwed together. They were thoughtful in actually providing a small screwdriver, but still, at the price point, to have to construct the block? I think this was done because the block is glass, and they wanted to make sure the sides did not break in shipment.

I am worried that the glass block may break. I think they would have done better to use acrylic or some other transparent material. It will last well, if nothing goes crashing into it at some point. Also, despite the sharpening that will be needed, there is no hole to hold a sharpening steel.

Summary:
The knives work well, and will provide good service for a casual chef. The nice design makes this good for a house warming or wedding present. Recommended for these uses, but don't give this to a trained chef!
