I purchased this set of knives because the reputation of Damascus steel is unbeatable. I got my expectations when I received my purchase and very satisfied with it. I work in a 5 star restaurant and this knives are very useful. They cut meat , seafood and vegetables with great precision. The metal blades are sharp and cuts evenly and nicely. Overall I am very satisfied with this set and will definitely get one again after a year. Don't wash and scrub with soap. Clean it with a soft cloth and always brush or dab olive oil in the blades. The bone handles are a good grip as well. Be careful of sharp blades.

Do not hesitate buying these knives. They are sharp,well crafted and beautiful. A great addition to any kitchen. They are not professional grade but for the price what do you expect. I've bought many knives and these are well worth the price!!!!

Absolutely beautifull knives. Very sharp. I wish there was a paering knife. But other than that these feel good to use and you could easily make paper thin slices of beef and any vegtables. Be safe , and remember ,a sharp knife is safer than a dull one.

I love love love love these knives. Almost let all the negative reviews keep me from buying them ( I'm glad I bought them). Wash, dry , and oil them immediately after use like you would with any high carbon steel knives so they don't rust. Thinking of buying a second set as a gift. You will not be disappointed if you know how to take care of carbon steel cutlery. Don't keep rethinking it for months like I did "¦"¦they are high quality handmade knives. You will have slight differences and slight imperfections like with any hand crafted item. These differences add to the charm and let you know you're not buying some cheap mass market big box retail cookie cutter knife sets. I can't say this enough don't listen to the negative reviews, they have no idea how to care for non stainless stain cutlery. Hand wash with mild dish soap NO harsh chemicals ,dishwashers, or leaving these in water they will rust fast with improper use. Dry thoroughly and oil these well and store them securely and they will last you a lifetime.

I've now had this knife set for over a year now and still could not be happier. No rust with proper treatment"¦..they take and hold a very sharp edge. I'm extremely pleased

Good metal just no foundation leading to sharp knives that can hold an edge but will wear fast and break easily. Nice weight to the handle and comfortable grip. I'd say a great set for home. Not so much the work industry
