Victorinox Swiss Classic Knife Block - Kitchen Knife Set with Block for Home Essentials - Includes Chef's Knife, Santoku Knife & More - Black Handles, 15-Piece Set

This set is incredible! Very sharp, easy to handle, many different uses. The only thing I found strange was the wooden storage block (counted as one of the 15 member set) was not made specifically for the 14 knives. There are 3 more openings that stay empty for knives that aren’t there. Otherwise, it looks nice, but takes up a lot of counter space.

Been using this for 5 years. Great set. Super sharp, even now. No rust. Lightweight, thin, & strong. Slices easily though just about everything. Highly recommend.

These are great knives. I let a couple of coworkers know that I needed to buy knives because the old cheap FaberWare set I bought from Walmart were falling apart. Two coworkers gave me suggestions, and both of them suggested Victorinox. When I initially unboxed the knives I was disappointed. They were really light and the metal blades were quite flexible. This made them seem cheap to me. Everything about them since that point has been awesome. My old Faberware knives would rust from the dishwasher. I had to get them out of the dishwasher ASAP or they would rust really bad. I have seen zero rust from these knives. Regarding sharpness, I thought my old FaberWare knives were pretty good and sharp, but the Victorinox knives make is seem like my old knife set was a set of spoons. These knives cut through everything effortlessly. It actually has an impact on how good the food is. My old knives would require quite a bit of pressure to cut meat. This causes the meat to compress. This compression seems to make the meat tougher and drier from squeezing out the juices. These knives go through meat like butter! I highly recommend.

The knives were great. Best set I've ever had! The actual knife block slots were not squarely cut, but it doesn't show once the knives are in. I do like the fact that they give you 3 extra slots to add a few different knives. I love the knives but I had a Chicago Cutlery Metro set before so that's probably why I think these are big improvement. I read some of the reviews and someone compared these knives to Shun. I checked the prices on these knives and one chef's knife was $150 while the Victorinox was $40. I don't think that's a fair comparison. Some reviewers also complained about the handles looking cheap but I didn't find that so. If you're looking for fancy handles, these aren't it. They're functional and comfortable to use and I get an even cut from my food. If you have large hands, you might find these not "chunky" enough but the handles are a decent synthetic.

We’ve only had these knives for a week but they have been excellent so far and I feel good about their chance of lasting a long time. They are lighter than our last set of knives, but don’t let that turn you off. Two of the heavier knives snapped in half 😑 weight is not a reflection of quality. They feel well balanced in your hand and are easy to use. Word of caution - they are *very sharp* out of the box. Luckily we haven’t cut ourselves yet but we were washing one and basically cut the sponge in half just wiping it down. Handle with care!

ABOUT THE KNIFE/TOOL SELECTION: Pros: * Much better than cheaper knives and compares to many expensive knives * Handle provides nice grip * Feels very comfortable * Depending on your needs, this set is probably complete or near complete. I will probably add a larger chef or santoku knife, a 10.25" Blade with Granton Edge (for meat carving, etc.) and possibly a fillet or boning knife. Cons: * Not as sharp as expected - although they were sharp. They definitely do the job though. ABOUT THE BLOCK Pros: * Slots are not overly snug, which allows faster retrieval * Block is on angle, which allows faster retrieval * Allows room for three more knives Cons: * Overly angled, which takes a lot of room * Desire room for more knives, and my selections might not fit the slots SUMMARY * The pros outweigh the cons. Learn to maintain and sharpen knives AND the proper way to use knives. This set is an excellent value for average and serious users.

Great quality and very very sharp knives

While the blades are nice, these feel like absolute garbage in the hand. They are junky light plastic handles that feel no different from those super-cheap first knives you picked up in a yard sale or at fire sale. If you really are serious about cooking, the weight will in fact throw you off because of the shift to the blade - and the grip on the light plastic is awful. My girlfriend made me return these because she was so shocked by the crappiness. She couldn't believe that I even unwrapped to set up the block to check them out.

Use it everyday in the kitchen. The knife block has more slots than knives so you can put some of your exisiting knives in there.

Excelente calidad y acabado. Los mangos son de un material el cual no resbala y permite una excelente fijación a los cuchillos. El 'mueble' de madera esta perfecto y practico. El filo esta increíble... casi me he cortado un dedo una vez pero estoy muy contento con los cuchillos. Por cierto llevo 2 años utilizándolos y no han perdido ni un poquito el filo

The block does not anything like the picture: It seems to have been made by someone who has never seen wood before and looks very cheap and low quality. The knives were wrapped in clingfilm and also look like poor quality: the join between blade and handle is rough and seems unfinished. All in all, greatly disappointed as I have never had any reason to doubt Victorinox. Can't help but feel that I was sent a cheap knock-off. Just another unsatisfactory Amazon experience...

I thought the fibrox handles would be a bit of a negative but they actually look decent and are very practical. The blades are all great, very sharp out of the box and feel like they can last a lifetime. We'll be using them for many year no question.

Amazing set of knifes!!! Perfectly sharpen with a good grip
