Do these knives have a good weight to them? I ordered a different set of knives and they feel really light, almost flimsy. Looking for a different set

Yes I am very happy with the quality. We had a Henckle set for 10 years so I was not going to compromise on quality. We cook extensively and these knives are excellent weight, sharpness and overall quality. My only negative comment at all is that we nick/remove the stain around the slots if you don't put it in perfectly. The block is a light oak stained so not a solid color block. Again I am very picky high end product perfectionist... :)

The knives have great weight and sit well in your hand. I am 5'9" and the 5 inch santoku is my knife of choice whereas my 6'2" husband prefers the 7 inch knife. We are picky about kitchen utensils/gadgets (previous knives were henckles and cutco) and are very happy with our selection.

EML I am a certifed chef and my husband an Excellent cook; we both Love the knives. They do have good weight and maintain a sharp edge on all. In my humble opinion they are a Good choice. PS... i have had two different sets over the years and i would ( if necessary )purchase again. Hope this helps you Caugie

I agree with the other person that answered your question. This is a very nice set of knifes.

Don't know for sure, but certainly feel solid. Have nice heft. Great knives. Very sharp.

Hi, I only use these knives once per month (cabin). I am not sure about your complex question. They are very sharp and lightweight, especially compared to the weight of my cutco knives that I use everyday- which are even sharper!

I don't know the exact weight. The knives were smaller and lighter than I expected, but for the price, they were ok. I don't have a small enough scale to give you a better idea, but I'd say each weighs about as much as a standard staple remover. (Sorry, the only thing close by that I could compare them to.) I had a decent accuracy range of about 10ft max. with about 5ft being optimal for their weight. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure about the weight, I didn't weigh it. I honestly don't wear it much. The knife isn't really that sharp. I'd recommend a regular folding pocket knife if you want to carry something around. This knife would be good for stabbing if anything.

No, I've not had any problems with any of the pieces feeling wobbly or flimsy ! I do know what you mean, as I bought another set of just spoons, and they are super flimsy...you would do good to be able to stir soup with the set I bought from another company. I think you will be quite happy with these utensils ! Hope that helps !

This set is 3.0/2.5 with 100 gram knife. It is a medium weight 18/10 set. Usually I would say a light weight set would be 2.2/2.0 and below and these sets are usually made of 18/0. 18/10 sets usually are either 3.5/3.0 or 3.0/2.5. Thomas

I can tell you that these knives are light, and a bit small, but very good priced and the metal is good.I am a beginner myself and have not managed to throw these knives without spin. They are too light to use the japanese knife throwing method, and I haven't managed to get down the finger flicking no spin throw method. I can throw them with spin just fine.Maybe you'll have better luck with them?

Mine weighs 282.12 grams. This weight is equivalent to 0.62 pounds or 9.95 ounces. They are hand made, so I am sure that there is some variation, from knife to knife.

I love mine. They are vert sharp. Light weight. I do a lot cooking they are still sharp

From the weight of them, I believe they would have solid handles, but can't be 100% sure. But I can say they feel very well weighted in the hand and are fabulous knives. I can highly recommend them to anyone.

i checked the original box they arrived in and it makes no mention of a warranty. they're good solid knives, balanced and not too heavy. as long as you take care of them and use them correctly i don't see how you would ever need a warranty. i would check the Global website and send them an e mail.

Overall the knives are lite but slightly heavier tword the point. This helps the knife fly point first helping it to stick.

In all the time I have used these, I have only noticed a rust spot on the blade of one of the knives and that was totally my fault for leaving it in dishwater (that had bleach in it) for 2 days. They stand up well to the dishwasher also. I love the weight of them, and, while they show a little wear because I use them constantly, they are as shiny as the day they arrived. And the price on Amazon is a real steal for this brand . Hope this helps. I would buy these again and they would make a great gift.

These knives are very sharp. Anyone who visits and helps out in the kitchen comments on how sharp they are. They are light, easy to handle, very comfortable to use and arrive very very sharp.

They certainly are not light weight. I bought these for my dad, who said he missed the old soup spoons. He loves them and they have a nice long handle, for his big hands! More medium to heavy weight spoons. I hope this helps.
