These knives are amazing!
Color: Brown Size: 8"
I bought these k over for my hubby who is a great cook and loves doing it. He couldn’t be happier. I’m not a cook but I actually enjoy using the smallest knife to chop up veggies for salads and such. They are sooo sharp! They feel really great in your hand too and they’re pretty, if a knife can be pretty lol. Really pleased with this set and could see getting more in the future. ... show more

Sharp
Color: Brown Size: 8"
My first good quality knives and I can’t believe that I was using the cheap Henkles set for so long. These are so sharp, they glide through everything. It’s scary how effortlessly these cut through everything, I will probably lose a finger one day. They also look really cool and are extremely lightweight. ... show more

Excellent
Color: Brown Size: 8"
These kitchen knives are amazing. Stropped them up to shaving status and I can glide through anything I'm preparing in the kitchen with crazy accuracy and nothing but the weight of the knife blade to push through even thick food products. Be wary though, this isn't the kind of knife that you use to pry open jars or hack through some thick bones or something, they're thin, and as such provide precision accuracy when cutting. They're not intended as a kitchen utility tool for every day use and you'll likely break or bend the tips if you attempt to use them for much other than cutting. I never put them through the dish washer, and never cut something not backed up by a cutting board. To do so would dull them fairly fast and greatly reduce their usefulness. At this price point, these are something you take care of. Hand wash, and be aware of what and where you're cutting. They'll hold up excellently for years to come provided you show them proper use and maintenance. I'd highly recommend these knives as a set for anyone. The three knives offered here cover my full range of needs when it comes to preparing food. Others may find you need more, but this is a perfect place to start. ... show more

A Great Gift for a Young Couple
Color: Brown Size: 8"
I bought these for my niece and her husband. Young couples rarely have the money for a good knife, and these are great knives. So a basic set like this made a great gift. They get to feel like they have a little luxury in their lives. I also have these knives. The knives are incredibly sharp (seriously, be careful!), and they're beautiful. You'll often hear that you need to be careful not to chip Japanese knives because they're thinner, and that's true. I've ruined some beautiful knives in my time. But with that said, these lightness, sharpness and maneuverability that you get in the trade off is well worth it to me, and mine have lasted many, many years. ... show more

If you wanna be sharp ...

Not worth replacing but…
Color: Brown Size: 8"
I definitely ordered the dark brown and got the blonde… it’s fine but we spent a good chuck of money on these. To get the wrong thing is a little disappointing.

Beautiful, Delicate Knives
Color: Brown Size: 8"
Incredible knives so far. I was originally going to buy just a chefs knife and pairing knife but when I saw this and realized it was only a little bit more for 3 knives I pulled the trigger. They're beautiful and arrived is perfect condition and very sharp. I only just got them though so I don't have a long term review yet. I also saw some reviews about them chipping and such which after researching them I'm no longer worried about as I've learned that as long as I use and maintain them properly they should not chip. I recommend anyone who buys these knives research before as they are NOT a standard kitchen knife and can not be thrown into the sink, or the dish washer or into a drawer with other things. They are very delicate and beautiful knives! So excited to have them ... show more
