Customer Reviews

Not worh the money or the trouble
I was given this set as a gift and was told that Chicago Cutlery was a very good brand name for everyday knives. I was disappointed with the quality of these knives however. I found that the stamped style of the knives require you to practically saw through anything but the softest foods, a much more tedious experience than using forged knives. The handles of all the knives were poorly finished, making using the knives for an extended amount of time uncomfortable. The block also suffers from the same poor finishing as the handles. The outside was sanded fairly well, but the slots for the knives were cut poorly and were splinterED when I opened the box. Worst of all, the blades of two of the steak knives, which are riveted to the handle in three places, broke in between the first and second rivets, making the blade loose and the knives worthless. Even if this set was free, I still wouldn't take it! IT'S NOT WORTH THE FRUSTRATION!

Is there a minus 5 stars?
Absolutely poor product....see N.C. Cook's review. Handles seperate easily, split, etc. (were hand washed only) Not worth repeating...JUNK.

Sad day for kitchen cutlery
I bought these at a local retailer thinking that Chicago Cutlery was a respectable brand, but when I opened them up, I found that the blades were rather weak and easily bendable, the handles were not well attached, and they weren't very sharp. They had a good variety of knives, but the craftsmanship was terrible. Do not buy these!
