can the knives really cut through food?

The knives I find to be decent for cutting. They are serrated on one side and flat on the other so it's not like you'll be cutting through food like a stake knife but they are very comparable with my other "el-cheapo" knives I normally use (this set is too fancy for me to use daily)

Hello,Yes the knives are very sharp and elegant. We never had any complaints.

I believe so, the blade isnt thin like fillet knife ( though it is as sharp). I bet you could find youtube videos of the knife in action. After all it is an " as seen on TV" product.

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

I've never done it, but would think it is possible. Blades are definitely sharp enough, and are spread out about 1/2 inch apart.

No- they are pretty small. I use them to cut meat and cheeses without bread. Hope this helps!

No, it is a very strong magnet and if it were to attract the knives and your hand was close at the time you would definately get cut.

Not sure, but I'm supposing no. I've had my knives for a long time and I use them more than any of my Cutco knives. Take care of these and I'm sure they'll last forever.

I don't think so but you may want to research it on the internet a little. However, my knives have never dulled. I have broken/chipped them, but they did not dull. That is why I am glad these all have sheaths. As soon as I wash one, I put it back in the sheath and in the drawer. I also have to continually remind my husband that they are not tools. That is how one of my old ones broke. He was trying to use it to open a box or something.

no they aren't, but there is a serrated knife for breads and meats. It wouldn't matter, this is a great knife set and sharp as all get out, (be careful).. I have had no problems with them whatsoever. They sharpen easy too because it comes with one in the butcher block that houses the knife set. I highly recommend this product!

The knife part probably can cut thru the skin. I doubt the slicer end will cut clean thru.

I would say no. I tried cutting an apple in half and slicing it. The results were not satisfactory. The slices are very thin. The slicer is the least effective of the pieces in this set. I use the graters and the julienne all the time, but almost never use the slicer.

Simply yes, They are sharp out of the box and can be sharpened more to cut through a watermelons. The real question is how many could it do before it warps the metal. I cut a watermelon and cantaloupe but didn't feel like wasting any more fruit. Blades feel OK in the hand I added a larger gauge paracable to mine. I'm not sure they could last a zombie apocalypse more then a few dozen decapitations. Another issue I had with these is the the sheath. I had to cut the opening so I could get the blades in and out quicker. Luckily I didn't have to go to far to get a knife ;). Great blades for the price you really can't beat it.

I have not ever tried anything like that. The blades are not really very sharp so I would think it might break the vegetables if they are really frozen but I would not think it cut through them.

The knives are extremely sharp ... I see no reason why they couldn't be used in cutting meat, unless you are used to a larger knife; the largest knife here is five inches (blade size). The normal pointed end on these knives is rounded, so you can't use the point to jab the meat and pick it up ... that is the only place where there might be a problem, if you are used to doing that; otherwise, it works for me. (I actually like the rounded tip since the blade is less dangerous)

Yes, sharp enough to manage whatever food you are eating, but not dangerously sharp, won't cause you any damage while eating... We are so very happy with this set!

The magnet is very strong so the knives would probably stay on. However I wouldn't choose this method since you would be unable to see the knives and might cut yourself.
