Do these chip or break??

I have had them for about 6 months and have had no issues. I do imagine if they are dropped they would break.

With proper care & storing in a knife block, they should last for years. Very good knives.

yes a few have chips on the tips I think its from putting then tip down in the dishwasher but i still think there the best knifes i have.....

Yes they do chip. They are fragile. Keep the sheath on them. But these knives are awesome

They can. Gently using, cleaning & storing in a knife block help. I really like these knives and for the price won't freak out if I break one. I have broken more expensive ceramic knives before I bought these.

Yes, seems like they have correct chip. any of my previous experience was negative - but those were reconditioned

I've washed them in the dishwasher, I bang them on counters and other dishes, dropped them in the sink. I don't have a single chip on my dishes. I'm very impressed with them.

I actually used then for about a month and didn't have any chips or cracks. I sold then to a friend who put them in her cabinet for display.

They are not. If you put them in for longer than roughly 1 minute they crack. Hope thet helps

Had that happen to me within about 2 months, luckily none of the plastic chips completely broke out, just some minor cracking, so my suggestion to anybody who buys these, do what i did and wrap some nice matte electric tape around the joint tightly, i say matte because it doesnt look that bad, and 2 years later it still works just as well as the day i bought, no mechanical failures from that piece again, but then again, i do take care of it to a certain degree (no slammin on the desk top cause you got killed 8 times in a row by the SAME KID)

I have had several pieces of LC for a few years now...like three years. I take care not to knock them around the kitchen, wash them carefully in the sink, etc, and have not had any trouble with chipping. Also, LC has a great warranty against manufacturing defects.

I don't know. I have this beautiful set for almost a year and I use it daily. Nothing chipped, cracked or broke so far. Getting a lot of compliments. I absolutely love this set. It's simple but elegant enough for formal dinners.

I sent mine back. Both were chipped. Bab packaging. One wad seperated into two parts. It popped into position; no problem. They wete really cheap looking. I made a mistake!

I can attest to what Claudio said. They are plastic; however, I travel almost weekly with mine, and they stand up well to being packed and tousled around. So far mine have no sign of being chipped or scratched, though they've had the opportunity to be. (also assuming that sturdiness is the issue.)

They do not chip - however depending on the amount of use they could have scratches on them. I have been using bamboo cutting boards like these and they have lasted well over a year without replacing them. When I purchased these boards I also purchased the cutting board oil and treated them prior to using. I have found they hold up much better with the treatments and handwashing (do not put in dishwasher).

They have a coating on them to protect them from rust and oxidation. Drilling into them would allow them to rust then. I don't think they'd break if you drilled into them, I've been pretty rough with them and they haven't cracked at all. However, your biggest issue is going to be ruining your drill bit, and demagnetizing the magnet. If you are going to drill into it, make sure there is no steel in your drill bit, as it magnet will magnetize the bit, and all the magnetic dust will permanently stick to it, ruining your bit. Get a titanium bit, or tungsten carbide bit. You should also make sure the bit is as small as possible so that you minimize your chances of destroying the magnet domains of the material. I'm not positive, but anything larger than 1/8 would probably greatly weaken the magnet. (To justify my claims above: I'm getting my Ph. D. in physics, and magnetic materials, so I'm fairly familiar with magnets, haha)

No, the do not chip easily. It take a lot to chip one and you do see the white. Chances are you will go years without chipping any.

Significantly, one of mine took a chip out of a plywood workbench with little to no damage.The plastic ones I've used on the other hand seem to shatter whenever they touch anything other than air.

No. These are solid wooden blocks. The finish on these is superb. Our grandson has had them over 2 years now and there is not a chip on them. He has teethed on them, thrown them, stacked them and mom and dad have stepped on them yet they look brand new. They encourage creativity because they are "simply blocks".

I believe so... we have dropped these into the sink and even the floor twice and they bounced around and did not break or chip. With the abuse these glasses take and the fact that none of them are chipped makes me think they are tempered - at the very least they are quite tough.

I would contact ShopJimmy since they provide the chip and should know all the details. If it's not correct, they would be on the hook for replacement I would think.
