Amazon.com Review
This invaluable two-piece set contains two of the most-used knives in the kitchen: a three-inch parer, for cleaning, peeling, removing blemishes on fruits and vegetables, and other delicate tasks; and a five-inch boning/utility knife, for trimming fat, de-boning chicken, cutting sandwiches, and other small- to medium-scaled cutting jobs. As a part of Chicago Cutlery’s Walnut Tradition line of cutlery, these knives combine high performance with excellent value. Stamped rather than forged for lighter weight and a more reasonable price, they’re made from high-carbon, 420 stainless steel with carbon to keep edges sharper longer and chromium to resist rust and stains, while Chicago’s exclusive Taper Grind edge produces impressively precise slices and retains its sharpness well over time. A full tang extends from the tip of each knife to the end of the handle for improved balance and strength. Comfortable walnut handles offer the rich warmth of wood and a classic look; they’re securely held to the blade with triple-compression brass rivets for added safety and stability. Chicago Cutlery covers their knives with a lifetime guarantee; they recommend hand-washing and drying for best results. --Mary Park

Exact Replacement
These exactly match a wooden block set that we've had for years. Being able to replace lost or damaged knives in a set make Chicago Cutlery a real value.

You can'b beat the value
I have used these knives primarily for processing my own deer. Growing up my dad had the same old classic chicago cutlery knifes, and when I moved out and processed deer on my own I needed to buy some knives. So I bought the very same ones... For the price and some good work on a knife sharpener like a Lansky, these suckers can be as sharp as a knife costing more like 10X more. I primarily use these two knifes plus the longer utility knife for butchering many many deer. They might not hold an edge as long as the more expensive ones but when you do alot of work your going to be sharpening them often anyway. Value wise these have got to be the best bang for the buck. I have never had one rust, or anything happen to the edge that couldnt be fixed by a few minutes on the Lansky. The only small complaint I have is that I am lazy and the walnut handles should not be washed in the dishwasher or they will 'weather' rather quickly, so I have to hand wash them. I really like the look of the new all stainless steel handles but I am not sure if the blade profile is the same and I would actually rather keep the old blades with new handles even if I spent over $100 on a new set, just would like the stainless steel handles so I could dishwasher them. Did I mention I like these knives?

The knives are not as sharp as I was hoping they would be. They are okay but I was a little disappointed.
