You really can't complain when you get a quality knife set for $125. They are pretty sharp. My only gripe is with the sharpening steel, as the hook was damaged and it's disappointing compared to my old Henckels sharpening rod. However, everything else has been pretty decent so far."

I'm very grateful for this purchase!"

We came across this set and thought they looked like a decent value, so we decided to give them a shot. The wood knife block is beautiful, and the knives themselves are quite impressive. We prefer the one-piece construction over traditional knives with riveted handles. They feel sturdy and maintain sharpness for a long time, with minimal flex while cutting. Just a note to be careful with the thin tips around harder objects. Overall, two thumbs up for this knife set; we couldn't be happier!"

"Having small hands, I was delighted to find these knives fit perfectly without being too heavy. The quality, size, and sharpness are all excellent.

I would definitely order another set and suggest a finger guard for added safety, given how sharp they are."

"I was thrilled to finally get new knives after a long time. The sharpness and balance are impressive, and I love the built-in sharpener.

Just a heads up: check closely as there are varying options for steak knives included."

"I was ready to upgrade from my dollar store chef knife and found the Amazon Basics 9-Piece Premium Kitchen Knife Block Set.
