Mundial 5100 Series 10-Piece Knife Set with Block, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was contemplating spending almost double the price paid for this cutlery on a similar Wusthof or Henckels 10 piece set. After receiving the knives I am glad I did not. These knives are of excellent quality and sharpness. After researching this product I expect exceptional durability of the edge. I can see no difference in the quality of this set compared to the other premium branded knives. I believe the only difference is that the other brands are more well recognized by the "Williams-Sonoma" home chef and as such command more market price. The maker of these knives originated from Germany then moved to Brazil, so you are still getting the manufacturing quality associated with that region. I have big hands, this particular line, while comfortable, could have a slightly larger handle if you are of similar size. Smaller to average-large hands should adjust to the handle contours well.

Shun Classic 6-Piece Knife Set with Bamboo Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set for my significant other at Christmas. I looked around at Wusthof, Global, and a few others but liked the unique look and feel of these better. I also figured these would be more comfortable and easier to wield for a female. The end result is that she really enjoys them. Although she has fairly large hands for a woman, the handles fit her nicely.
The knives come very sharp and hold their edge for a long time. It will be interesting to see how well they take to a professional sharpening. Overall, I am happy that I purchased this set.
There is one caveat. I also do quite a bit of cooking and have large hands. After using the Shuns for a couple of months, I have come to the conclusion that the Wusthof Grand Prixs fit me better and feel sturdier. I cannot really justify having two sets of expensive knives around the house, so we will be keeping the Shuns. My advice: Go to Sur La Table or Williams-Sonoma and handle the knives yourself. Feel the weight, notice the handle shape, and decide what fits you best. There are so many quality manufacturers of cutlery now that it is hard to go wrong with any of the selections.

J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 18-Piece Block Set with Instructional Knife Skills Video Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned the 18-Piece Henckels Gourmet Knife Set for about 1 year now. I purchased these with some wedding gift certificates that we got when I got married last year. This was an upgrade from a decent Faberware set that I had been using for the 4 years prior. Anyway, this set comes with 18 pieces:
8-inch chef's knife
8-inch carving knife
8-inch bread knife
6-inch chef's knife
6-inch boning/utility knife
5-inch serrated utility knife
3-inch paring knife
eight (8) 4 1/4-inch steak knives
9-inch sharpening steel
8-inch kitchen shears
hardwood storage block
Let me clear up the confusion for the people that don't know...there are actually two Henckels brands. "Henckels International" is the more economical brand, not to be confused with the "Zwilling JA Henckels" brand which is the premium brand. Same manufacturer, different grades of metal, location of construction and quality. You can tell the difference by the look of the logo...the cheaper "International" brand has the one tribal man on the logo, whereas the "Zwilling" brand has twin tribal men on the logo.
The "Gourmet" line is the least expensive of the higher premium sets from the Zwilling JA Henckels brand. It is not forged steel. The blade is stamped. However, the quality is much better than the Henckels International brand of stamped knives. The blade stays sharp for longer periods of use. However, it is probably comparable to the top of the line Henckels International Classic FORGED set. That being said, the price point is about the same for the same number of knives, so it makes sense. The highest end Henckels forged set is the "Professional S" or "Pro S" which costs $200 more than the "Gourmet" for an 18-piece set. Keep in mind that the 8 steak knives from the Pro S line are the same ones that come with the Gourmet line, so you know they are a great quality set.
As a relatively affordable premium set of knives, I have used these knives almost every day since their arrival. I've had to sharpen on occassion, but that's normal. All non-serated knives, you will need to sharpen and hone fairly frequently. (Or at least more frequently than a lot more expensive forged sets.) I do it once every few months with the knives that I use frequently and about once a year for the ones that only get used on occasion. But I also do a lot of cutting with them, so the frequency will depend on how often you use them for cutting tough foods. I cook a lot of meats, including cutting up my own chicken, so that dulls the knives rather quickly. If all you cut are veggies, then your knives won't dull as quickly. That being said, my knives still look and feel as if they are brand new. They are great!!!
They are dishwasher safe, but I don't recommend it because the dishwasher will dull all knives. However, occasionally I toss them in the dishwasher if I have a million things to wash after a dinner party and haven't had any problems.
P.S. I wanted a Santoku knife to add to this collection because I cut a lot of fish for sashimi and sushi. After a lot of examination, I decided to NOT get the Gourmet santoku because it did not have a hollow edge and I wanted a forged knife. I ended up splurging and purchased a Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge Santoku to complete this set. Yes, I know I'm supposed to buy the same Henckels brand for loyalty reasons, but as far as Santoku knives were concerned, I liked the feel and style of the Wustof better. It was a debate between the Henckels Pro S Hollow Edge or the Wusthof Classic Hollow Edge because they were in the same price range and the Wusthof knife won by a hair.

Wüsthof Gourmet 14-Piece Deluxe Knife Block Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Forged steel was out of my price range, so I had to go with stamped. ($200 is enough for me, thank you.) The set is nice, a bit light, but good... EXCEPT FOR THE STICKERS. Yes, the red logos on the handles are--in fact--red pixelated laser printer stickers that get ruined in the wash. Get some Goo Gone and spend 20 minutes taking them off before washing the set. Of course, if you were paying for the brand... there is still the logo etched into some of the blades. :)

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 7-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got my Pro "S" 7pc. set for Christmas and haven't looked back. In the course of researching the 4- and 5-star and Pro "S" knives, I was informed that the only difference is the handle material. The Pro "S" is the same as the 4-star with a more durable material for the handle. At an additional $20 cost for the whole set, it seemed worth it.
Anyhow, these knives make short, EASY work of anything. I love the paring knife...cloves of garlic submit from a mile away, slicing small things is like cutting through a cloud.
The chef's knife is fantastic. I was a little miffed when I read that the 4-star set had the Santoku, but I'm not terrribly worried. For chopping "billowy" stuff like cilantro bunches, etc., the pronounced "rocking" action of the chef's knife is clearly preferable to me.
The boning knife does it's job well and I prefer it for butterflying steaks, chops, cutlets, etc.
The utility knife does a fine job on tomatoes, bagels, etc.
The scissors I haven't used much yet...not sure what to use it for besides snipping the string off of butcher packages. They are silky smooth to use, though.
All in all, I am very happy I have this set. My sisters have the $60-ish Fine Edge Henckels International set which is terrible...they HAVE been using it on a GLASS cutting board (!) but really they ought to perform better than the pulling and ripping I had to do last night with some red peppers.
These knives are FAR AND AWAY in a different league than those and I couldn't be happier. Got my Polypropylene cutting board and I am off to the races.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 8-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the 3rd set of Henckels I've owned. I sent the first set to the local cutlery store for sharpening and they came back with a different personality. Didn't cut like Henckels anymore. Really disappointed. In search of a replacement set, I got the lower end Twin Signature 11pcs set. It was stamped, not forged. They cut well, but the knife felt cheap compared with the real forged Henckels.
I am really satisfied with this Four Star set. Feels solid, even weight distribution from front to back, and cuts like butter. My friend has a set of Twin Crusine which is so well built that ended up being too heavy in the back. Feels like I am just about to lose control and dropped the knife. Gives me the insecure feeling that I might cut myself trying to overcome the Twin Crusine under control.
One thing I learn this time.... make good use of the sharpening steel. I finally got the courage to learn how to use the sharpening steel with the correct angle and position, it worked so well. Sharpen my other Henckles knife back to nearly new condition.

LamsonSharp 16-Piece Forged Knife Block Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great knives. Very sharp. Well made and balanced knives. The only issue is that the steak knife slots in the block were not cut quite deep enough, so the knives do not go all the way into the block. They are all even, but not quite as deep as they seemingly should be. This is a trivial matter, and does not detract from these fabulous knives at a great price for the American made quality.

Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Steak Knife Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Many people might scoff at a set of steak knives at this price, My only retort is to relate the story of sneaking around (because of my wife's non belief that there was a difference) and buying a set of the Wusthof Classic Steak Knives and using them for the first time. No matter what knife you have laying around and how sharp it is, the Wusthof is superior. It is the most obvious in steak knives because you use them everyday.
The edges are plain edged, honed by hand. These are NOT your STEAK HOUSE knives - no serrations. Your SLICING fine meat not disposing of a lost tourist in Texas!
Hand washing only, even with today's more sophisticated dishwashers with knife compartments preventing dinging and other damage to the blade, the high water heat and chemicals in the diswashing soap will ruin ANY knife. Think of the glass that you've had for years that you've run through the dish washer. Look closely and you'll see the glass is actually ETCHED from the detergent. And the old wood handled paring knives. Notice how they are duller and harder to sharpen? The dishwater temperature and chemicals from the detergent have damaged the steel. By the way, there is no SUPER steel that isn't known to all knife makers. Metallurgy is an exacting science, a formula to be followed, not magic with the Sorcerer and Mickey Mouse as his apprentice. Wusthof PROUDLY stamps the which metal their knives are made of right on the blade. It may be heard in a sales spiel from the college kid selling complete cutlery sets, that knives can be dishwasher cleaned. Nope.I don't put my saw blades, drill or router bits in the dishwasher either. They are precision edged tools just like your knives.
I'm very happy with this purchase everytime they come out for a meal. They feel comfortable, familiar like an extension of your hand, as all the Wusthof Classic cutlery do.
Good weight, balance and excellent hand honed edge. This knife is the one my wife reaches for first for her needs in the kitchen. Never argue with a woman with a knife in her hand. Especially a Wusthof!!

The handsome knives in this six-piece set boast scimitarlike blades; their distinct upward curves work exactly like those of a butcher's knife to help slice meat with ease and precision. Because they slice so efficiently, you may find yourself using these knives for other cutting tasks, such as slicing onions or trimming raw beef.

Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wusthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners.

Gunter Wilhelm Cutlery 201 Executive Chef 11-Piece Professional Knife Set with Wooden Storage Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought these knives from a local Warehouse club store when Gunter Wilhelm (GW) had a booth set up. They caught my eye because they looked identical to my wife's x-favorite knife made by Hammer Stahl (HS). It turns out that GW were the original inventor of these knives and HS copied them. When you compare the 2, the GW knives are bigger, heavier, heftier, more solid and made with better materials. GW knives are incredibly made, very sharp and high quality. They allowed me to trade the old HS knife with a GW knife. These are the best high quality knives you can get for the $. I have to say GW is ' a cut above the rest'. Sorry..
My only complaint is that they have to be hand washed, but most high end knives have the same requirement.


Click Here to see more reviews about: Gunter Wilhelm Cutlery 201 Executive Chef 11-Piece Professional Knife Set with Wooden Storage Block

Equally suited for an at-home cook as for a professional chef, this 11-piece knife set makes a useful addition to any busy kitchen. The high-quality knives feature precision-forged blades made of 440C German steel--a combination alloy made of high-carbon steel and stainless steel that sharpens easily, holds a razor-sharp cutting edge, and resists staining. Plus, the knives come sharpened all the way to the base of the blade where most cutting occurs, and their attractive Pakkawood triple-tang handles provide superior balance and an ergonomic grip for exceptional comfort and control. The set includes a 10-inch chef knife, a paring knife, a 6-inch utility knife, a Santoku knife, a bread knife, and an Asian cleaver with dimples, as well as an 8-inch carving knife, a meat fork, a meat cleaver, and a metal sharpening steel that helps keep all the blades in good working order. In addition, the set provides a large wooden block that not only showcases the collection, but also safely and securely stores the knives from one use to the next. Using the knives on bamboo cutting boards works the best since bamboo won't warp, crack, or split, and it's naturally anti-bacterial. To clean, hand wash the knives with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse and dry immediately. The 11-piece knife set measures approximately 12 by 6 by 17 inches and carries a lifetime warranty.

I'm a female so these knives fit perfectly in my hand (not sure how it would be for males). They are lightweight and makes cutting quick and fun. These knives meet form and function. Beautiful and fuctional. I hope to have them for years to come. Highly recommend.

In celebration of its 25-year anniversary, Global presents this three-piece commemorative knife set, which comes in a 25th Anniversary logo box with a Global lapel pin. The collection of knives consists of a 7-inch Oriental chef's knife (G-4), a 4-5/7-inch Oriental Santoku (GS-54), and a 4-1/3-inch chef's knife (GS-58). Use the knives for everything from slicing and dicing to peeling tough skins off produce. The high-quality knives feature CROMOVA 18 stainless-steel construction--a blend of 18-percent chromium for stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium for excellent edge retention. The thin, razor-sharp blades cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of food and maximizing flavor. The blades also come "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives.
High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. Global also did away with bolsters to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure continuous balance, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between the blade and handle provides safety. Furthermore, the knives come with stainless-steel handles that are molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges, and they carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage.
