The Best Knife Investment

I’m so happy that I got this knife set when it was on sale. I been eyeing them for a while. Just used it last nite and I’m extremely Happy. So sharp, so light and easy to handle and clean. And they look so beautiful in my kitchen too. Can’t wait to put some work on them.

Terrible Quality- Returned immediately! Beware!

I ordered this knife on Nordstrom thinking that everything sold by them was top quality but NO! This is not a Damascus blade as the description seems to imply but a 'Damascus-Inspired' MEANING its a regular blade with FAKE etchings of a Damascus pattern. Just awful. Waste of time to order and returned instantly. Buyer Beware!

Good but is it Great?

Wish we had known it is made in China. Seems to be a good knife set but it will take months to years to fully know the quality. It was purchased at a significant discount after Christmas.

Im in love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im so in love with this knife set. I love the elegant Asian style of the case. The knives are beautiful engraved with a simple but edgy design. The handles are very stable and strong, not too heavy. These are very nice and sharp knives. They cut with ease, im very happy with this set.
