    Make sure you have room on your bench for these beauties

    Got these in Xmas ‘23 to replace an ancient crumbling Kmart set. The magnet block is long with enough room to keep our steak knives set on the opposite side and a couple of extra chefs knives.

    We got the damashiro sharpener as well which while simple and manual seems very effective and can sharpen the other knives as well.

    Now the knives themselves feel well balanced and appropriately heavy. The bolster is the full width of the blade so no danger of slipping and cutting yourself that way unless you’re being determinedly inept. And these things cut! Forget scissors, these things will slice through plastic, paper, cardboard and also food too like carrots and tomatoes and pumpkin and chicken and beef also. My husband keeps picking recipes with as much prep as possible just to use them more often which is quite a change.

    I don’t know if these will rust like a cheaper set would but I think if I left them wet or lying in the sink I wouldn’t live long enough to find out.

    Overall quite a step up from budget brands. If you’re a professional with more money than sense you might go for Wusthof or Zwilling but these are a great alternative for the everyday slicer and dicer, and the knife block is handy as long as you’ve got room for it!
