Contemporary good looks and superior high-carbon stainless-steel blades combine to make Prestige cutlery an excellent choice for the home chef. All the most commonly used kitchen knives, and then some, are included in this comprehensive 19-piece set. One unique feature is the smaller pull-away block that houses eight steak knives. By making the block transportable to the buffet, dining table, or outdoor picnic table, you avoid having to grab and carry a bunch of extra-sharp steak knives. Perfectly balanced and weighted, each Prestige knife features an ergonomic, stainless-steel handle that has been grit-blasted for a non-slip finish, while the end cap and bolster stay brightly polished for contrast. In addition to the eight steak knives, a pair of kitchen shears, and a sharpener, this set consists of the following: 3-1/2-inch parer; 3-1/2-inch santoku parer; 5-inch santoku; 5-1/2-inch serrated utility knife; 7-inch santoku; 8-inch chef's knife; 8-inch slicer; and 8-inch bread knife. The santoku blades feature indentations that release food quickly, making these popular for Asian cuisine preparation as well as everyday food tasks. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for resharpening; hand-washing the cutlery is recommended. The set is covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box

They slice! |
|
I replaced my really old, worn knives with this set. I got them on sale and they slice and dice well. |

Dull... |
|
My husband and I bouht a set much like this (I think ours is smaller) from our local Bed Bath and Beyond. (paid more for it) in any case, we have used them for about 6 months (minimal to average use) and they already seem to be dull. they look great and the removable steak knife feature is GREAT but if you are looking for knives that last and stay sharp these are not it. We have only hand washed these knives they have never been in the dishwasher and are still dull. |

Nice knives in wide block |
|
I like the knives but the block is way too wide. Worth the prices but it is a little irritating to give up so much counter space. I may end up having to buy either a third party block or a magnet bar. |

A quality set, but not perfect... |
This set is decent, though a few things could have been different to lower the price and make it more appealing.
First off, eight steak knives is flat out overkill. Six would have been better.
Also, the scissors and sharpening tool have tacky black plastic handles, which are quite the eyesore to the type of person who buys all stainless knives. Dump those two items, shave off two steak knives, and drop the price by about thirty dollars and this set would do much better.
The santoku knives are great, I've been a fan of those for years. Yet again, however, there is excess with two 3 1/2 inch parers... a regular one and a santoku version.
Okay, enough whining. These are still good knives. They are very stylish, especially with the black block as opposed to the typical wood, and the block separates for buffet situations. The handles are comfortable and have a natural grip. I also like the lightweight feel, since I prefer that my kitchen cutlery not weigh as much as a knight's sword. If you use proper technique and pressure, you'll have no problem wielding these on unsuspecting vegetables.
Overall, I say four stars, mainly due to styling. They are not Wusthof knives, but they are certainly not as expensive either. If they ever sell a streamlined version of this set, get it. If not, and you can handle the extra bulk, then this set will do. |

Farberware is better |
I bought these for $80 on sale, and sent them back the next day. Apart from everything else the block was scratched in 3 places.
These knives weigh nothing and would be unpleasant to use if you want any heft at all.
Perhaps if these were presented as $80 knives I'd have had a different opinion, but I thought I was getting better knives at a great Lightning Deal price.
Once again, Cuisinart is trading on it's reputation for quality food processors.
