Will the color scratch away and are these knifes magnetic? I would like to store them on my magnetic knife block

There is no sign of the colored coating wearing away on mine but this would probably vary depending on how roughly they are used. The blades on mine are attracted to a magnet.

I've had mine since April and think they are great. Although they are white, I've had no issue with staining, which was something that concerned me when I first got them. I also haven't had any issues with scratching, but I'm very careful not to use metal utensils with them, and I don't stack them directly on top of each other. I just put thin towels between them for storage. Overall, I'm very pleased with this set and would recommend purchasing them.

so they tell you to not put them in the dish washer because the dish wash dulls the knifes. Mine got spot rust on them after being cleaned in the dishwasher. The ones I hand washed have not rusted.

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 haven't noticed any scratches on my knives . I have a good assortment of knives,I just slide them in. I hope this helps.

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 they wear and scratch if on a key chain. I have hanging one on the inside of my purse and it looks brand new. My husband's on his key chain is very scratched and worn.

I've had my set for a couple of months and I haven't noticed any scratches as of yet. They still look great. Don't know if this will help you in your decision making process.

These knives require periodic sharpening. I don't know your kitchen habits as compared to mine, so what works for me may not work for you. But here are my thoughts on Chicago Cutlery Vivid knives...they sharpen easily (I use a Smith diamond encrusted sharpener with coarse and fine grits. I don't have to use it very often.) and they're easy to keep sharp with a sharpening steel. These are easy to care for...use a steel and sharpener regularly and you won't have a problem keeping them sharp. After several months of use I don't see any chipping of the color coating. And I prefer these knives to a couple of low end J A Henckels that I have.

I haven't tried but assume they would. They wouldn't scratch, but they probably wouldn't cut it a smoothly as a regular knife. Most things come out a little jagged.

I chop and slice every day on one or more of them, using quality steel honed cutlery. I occasionally see small traces of knife edges, but nothing as you describe. I also put them in the bottom of my dishwasher on normal cycle and they have held up well.

No, they are not scratch resistant. We use ours Dailey at our kitchen table and they have some scratches on them but I've had them about a year and they have stood up fairly well!

magnets do mot stick to the botom. I have has several scanpans for more than 3 years. Grankly I abuse them!, and they still perform quite nicely. Some scratches are noticable because I tend to use a metal spatuals, but these do not seem to alter the non stick surface. Remember thought to warm your pan slowly. Put it on low- medium heat, go have a cup of coffee then come back & cook. I think you'll be happy

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.

Actually many customers use a magnetic knife rack for these knives. The coating does not inhibit the steel in these knives from being used on a magnetic knife rack.

A magnetic bar can scratch your knife, if you want to keep the finish. If u use a magnetic bar, be careful and slightly twist the knife away from the edge when removing.
