NANFANG BROTHERS Knife Sets for Kitchen with Block, Damasucs Kitchen Knife Sets 9 Pieces with Ergonomic Triple Rivet Handle, Kitchen Knives for Chopping, Slicing, Dicing & Cutting

Love this knife set. Got it quite some time ago, and knives are still super sharp

Man these things are sharp. Nice handles but keep your fingers away. Even the slightest contact might draw blood. I love the way I can slice a chicken breast into two.

I loved the way the knifes were built, The form to my hand was perfect to grip on to. The sharpness was perfect. I was able to cut every produce and every meat products with one stride. I'm a manager at a restaurant in Michigan and I've used plenty of knifes and I'd say your knifes are by far the best I've used. I also like the extra art you offer as well rather then just plain black handles. I personally chose the white handles with the chrome bottom. 5 star knifes in my eyes. Thanks for the great quality.

Edit: Cont. from initial review below. Seller got back to me and offered to send a new knife block. It looks like it may be a common defect because it appears they just drilled out more area for me to fit the knife in all the way and this area was not stained but hey, it works and they were quick about getting back to me and rectifying the situation with little work from myself. Not sure if it was for custom’s purpose but they also included a free knife! Knives are sharp and look nice!Original post: After way too much back and forth searching for a the perfect knife set at the right price to gift to myself, I was really looking forward to this set! Opening up the package, the box looked mostly intact, the knives were looking great, the scissors had a couple dings but they were just the scissors after all...then I tried to put all the knives away in their given slots in the block but when I got to the pairing knife...as you can see in the photos, it doesn’t fit. Super bummed! Tried to send an email through Amazon to the seller and it couldn’t go through. Not sure what can be done other than to return these. Also now questioning the quality of the knives themselves after seeing the lack of quality control in just the housing device...

I collect great knives usually by their steel. Having vg-19 steel is fantastic with light Damascus to boot. It is way over most knife sets anywhere in this $150 ,price range.BTW the honey colored wood block matched my kitchen cabinets and my island...I have a few Spyderco knives in vg-10. One retails for $330.00. Ish...Take a good look at this knife set. VG-10 is a great stainless steel that the Japanese invented. I like the steel it retains a great edge, it is a tad harder to sharpen, and has excellent stainless qualities too.Hell of a deal. TOO!

Liked them (gift)

The best knife set I have ever used. I will never work with another set.

Sadly the paring knife does not fit in the block. Worse, the manufacturer has not responded to feedback. Double worse, there is no way to leave the manufacturer a message or comment. Even on their web site there is no contact place. What does this mean about the lifetime waranty? Worthless? Seems so and I am dissapointed because I like the knives. I have 29 more days to return the knives. I'll give them 10 more days to respond to this review which I am willing to update, but I am concerned about this purchase now.
