  • High quality knives for a decent price
Style: Tempered Glass Block
One quick note to those who are complaining about these knives rusting, that is actually a sign of a good quality knife with high quality steel. If you don't treat them like a five dollar stainless steel piece of junk you bought at Walmart and these will last you for years. Don't leave these things in water to soak, don't put them through the dishwasher, and be careful because these things are sharp. First time I used one after using Cutco knives for years I cut myself because I expected some kind of resistance while cutting an onion instead it cut through the onion like a lightsaber. I love the standing glass display case, its easy to see which knife you're grabbing before you grab it, the blade doesn't get dulled on wood, and it looks beautiful. If I had to complain I'd make the complaints that it doesn't come with a knife sharpener and that the case is way heavier than I expected it to be, which is actually a bonus if you're worried about it tipping over. ... show more

  • I love these knives!!!
Style: Tempered Glass Block
Wow! This is one beautiful, sharp and compact set of knives. Clean off you counter top and replace those old dull kitchen knives that just don't cut it anymore. There is nothing better than a sharp knife to get the slicing and dicing done right without making a pile of mush out of your fruits and vegetables. This set is razor sharp out of the box or can be easily honed to your preferences. I love the fact that it is thin and takes up almost no room at all on my counter top. With its see through panels there is no need to pull out knife after knife out of a wooden block to find the right blade for your needs. I love the feel and balance of every knife and the guide on top of the case is segmented to keep the knives in the right place. I have only had them for a week, but I wish I had these during the past holiday season. Anyone that loves to cook or even a professional chef would be proud to own this set. Please be careful, because these knives are extremely sharp right out of the box. Once again, I would highly recommend these to people that can appreciate the quality of fine cutlery! ... show more

  • Really good for people that love to cook on a regular basis
Style: Tempered Glass Block
These are some really good quality knives. The steel they use is not "stainless" as some summaries may declare, it is stain-resistant. It is also not high-carbon (1-2%), I would say it's more like medium carbon content (0.5-1%) but this is minor. The edge retention is really good, especially if you get a good honing/sharpening steel and whetstone to properly take care of these. Due to their delicate nature in terms of corrosion resistance, it is essential that you clean these knives shortly after use and then hand-dry them as soon as you are able. DO NOT leave them out to dry as you will drastically reduce the lifespan, and DO NOT put them in the dishwasher as you will ruin them. You're probably wondering what you're paying for then, if these are so susceptible to corrosion. You're paying for a sharper edge than your average knife with greater retention. These things are SHARP, you will cut yourself if you're not careful. Regarding the build quality, these things are very well-built. The handles are full-tang with rivets which is important for longevity. Their other set claims to have an adhesive that is resistant to blunt and heat trauma but I don't mess with anything besides full tang when it comes to heavy-use knives. The handles are filed to be completely flush, and compared to brands like Cuisinart or even Henckels, they are a bit thin. However, they are easy to hold and feel very good in the hand. There is a reason these knives are the primary choice for most culinary schools in the nation. My only regret is this set neither contains a Santoku, nor does it contain a place to hold one. I feel like it would have been smarter to include a Santoku over a bread knife, or even over the boning knife. The chef's knife is awesome though, and the paring and utility knives are extremely useful. This is a great set that will serve you for many years if you treat them right. ... show more

  • An amazing and beautiful knife set.
Style: Tempered Glass Block
I looked at all the candidates for a quality forged full tang knife set from Germany, and was deciding if I wanted a more expensive set, or a nice set and then a really nice chefs knife. After tons of research I decided the Aesthetics of this won out an would look amazing on the counter, and I could use the savings to purchase a nice Japanese Mac Chefs knife. If you don't know Mercer is big in the Culinary circuit, especially in the culinary schools. I figured if our future chefs are learning on Mercer quality then why not give them a shot. After all the case is about as good looking as any I have ever seen, and the knife set got really high review. On un-boxing you notice the knives are really good looking, with a great shine and attractive black handle. You have to put together the holder but that took only a minute or two. I have to say they nailed the presentation, and these things shine on the counter unlike any wooden block could do. On use I was amazed. These things are sharp, heavy, and balanced. I find myself switching between the Japanese Mac for dicing, and the German knives for harder jobs. Also, most of the sets I looked at had way to many knives. Most of my use revolves around a Chefs knife and a paring knife but I do find myself using the utility knife more and more. My advice is to give these a shot if you looking at the other Germans, and the money you save can go into a quality Japanese chefs knife for the finer jobs in the kitchen. ... show more

  • If you’re hard-up for space, try this … If you’re hard-up for space, try this …
Style: Tempered Glass Block
I almost didn’t buy these - being unsure of where they’d fit-in in a cramped kitchen. As positioned the medium and smaller knives in front slide out easily (at an angle). The butcher knife in the center requires sliding the case forward a few inches. I can see where a busy chef fight find that inconvenient. However, for occasional use it’s not much of an issue. The knives? Just arrived. I’ll update the review in the future. I can say that the box and the glass case are easily twice as heavy as I expected. As others have noted, it would be difficult to knock it over. Nice level cushioned base. Now if I can just convince myself to actually use these rather than simply admiring the way they complement the kitchen … :) After one week, I couldn’t be happier. The knives are of excellent quality. Very sharp. I’ve mainly sliced onions and peppers and trimmed fat off meat to this point. Also, great for slicing an English muffin in two without destroying it in the process. I remember from my earlier fishing days the substantial difference in feel and function between a cheap everyday knife and a top quality (fully forged) pricier knife like this. (Try dressing-out a 25 lb salmon with something cheap.) But not everyone needs knives of this quality. For 90% of everyday kitchen use a much cheaper set will do fine. So thus beautiful set is more of a luxury item in my case than a necessity. And I’m always happy to make the kitchen look a little nicer. :) ... show more

  • great knife set, but too tall for cabinets
Style: Tempered Glass Block
I do love the knife set - man are they sharp! They fit my hand well and the selection of knives is good. The only problem I had was that I couldn't put them under my cabinets and get a knife out without moving it. So I ended up spending more money to buy something that would fit in my drawer. Something like a block that was slanted would have been better. They are high end looking with the glass holder and it is very sturdy, but just didn't fil under the cabinets. ... show more

  • An awesome set of knives with an easy to clean block.
Style: Tempered Glass Block
I love this knife set. I spent most of my life using cheap stamped knives, and later moved up to slightly more expensive forged blades. My old knife set went out with an old roommate so I needed a new set. I didn't want some 30 piece knife set, with too many bells and whistles. The Mercer set is perfect and has all the knives you really need for cooking. If you look at what pro chefs use, it's usually a small set of knives just like this, because that's all they need. The set uses very high quality forged steel knives with nice heft and good balance. Not too heavy, not too light. Out of the box they are super sharp. I also like the Glass block. I can clean it pretty easily and it looks very nice and modern. Wood blocks get pretty gross after a while, and are hard to really clean. If you have a shaky floor, as some apartments do, it will rattle a bit when you walk by. If you just want some knives to cut PB&J sandwiches in half and throw in the dishwasher, don't get these. If you want to step up your kitchen game, theses are a great buy. ... show more

  • Excellent Knive Set that was recommended by a chef and the chef knows his knives!
Style: Tempered Glass Block
I like to cook a lot and I wanted to upgrade to a good set of knives. So in my company cafeteria, I asked one of the serving chef's what knife he was using and he said Mercer. I bought the Mercer Renaissance knife set and I am very pleased. The knives are very well balanced ( nice weight and easy to handle) and they cut very, very well; nice sharp blades. The glass block is a nice holder beautifully displays the knives. The balance of the knives is even more evident when you place them in the glass block ( which is actually is not a glass block, but two separate sheets of tempered glass in a metal frame); the knives set very solidly in the holder. I also bought the Mercer Culinary Genesis 10" Sharpening Steel. Sharp knives are the safest and cut the best and the best way I have found to keep these types of knives sharp is with sharpening steel. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004A8NMEO/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0 ... show more
