Chicago CutleryInsignia (13-PC) Kitchen Knife Block Set With Wooden Block, Contoured Handles and Sharp Stainless Steel Professional Chef Knife Set & Scissors

These are actually dishwasher safe because it is all one piece with no handle that will come apart or split. This is the best set that I have ever owned.

Great product and great seller!

This is my 3rd set of these knives for our three homes, will/would buy again.

I previously had the 2005 version of this knife set. I work in restaurants, and I cook a lot, so I know what makes for a good knife.Cons:The block is kind of ugly, its a failed attempt at that grey, distressed wood that is trendy right now.The bevel is very small, which explains people's comments on the knives dulling quickly, but they are quality steel, so a few minutes with a whet stone or a professional sharpening will correct this, and they will last you years, so its well worth it.There is no honing steel.The steak knives don't have the serated tip that previous versions had.Pros:High carbon, stainless steel. So they take an edge, and hold it.They arrived razor sharp, although professional sharpening may be needed down the line.The Chef's, Santoku, and bread knife are almost perfected weighted.The handles feel great in my wide mit of a hand.Although I wrote more about the cons, I still say this is a solid knife set, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a full, home knife set.

Very comfortable to hold and work with, sharp and attractive.

Very nice stainless steel knives, sharp, however after intense use for cutting vegetables, does need to sharpen the santoku knife. I use the amazons choice sharpener it is very very good. Overall knives are a great value for the price

This knife set is amazing! Very nice looking, and SHARP! I think this may be my last set of knives.

I found a pair of Chicago cutlery knives at Marshall’s back in college and knew I wanted to invest in a good Chicago cutlery knife block. As for design, they’re sleek and solid. The knives included are perfect for beginner to intermediate cooking. Exactly what I was looking for. My only complaint and reason I can’t give a full 5 stars is the scissors. Every time I use them they come apart. And I don’t enjoy dodging scissor blades when I’m cooking or cutting a box open. I’d really give a 4.5 star but don’t have that option.
