Impressive knife set.

Great little set of knifes and stronger than I expected. I had an accident where the knife slipped and hit hard surface and to my surprise no dents no breaks. Impressed.

I have been in food service for over 20 years and this set of knives are not only sharp, but unique. Bought the silverware to match!

This is a great set.  All are knives that are used often.  Bread knife is great for tomatoes, etc., too.  Nice and sharp.  After the old knives I had, I must be careful not to cut a finger off!

Incredible knife set. Don't cook a lot so have no idea how they last but they sure are sharp.

I just opened the set I ordered today - wow.  Very sharp and feels very solid - quite a beautiful knife set.  I keep taking them out to look at and hold them.  Very impressive.  The handle is really nice and feels good in the hand, each knife has a nice weight.  The folding knife does lock - the one that was sent to me takes attention to make sure it locks - I'm hoping this is just because it's new.  The knives are much more impressive than the picture would suggest and I'm eager to use them.

I will recommend this set to anyone.  Also for the individual knives.
Now the service was great and shipping was fast.

After 3 months of studying and researching, I chose these knives as they seemed to be the best set under $350....and WE WON. These are amazing. Good quality no exceptions

The knives are very sharp out of the box. They are well designed and Opinel uses excellent steel and wood. The blade lock is well thought out. It is no wonder that they have been in business for 130 years and sell 13 million of them a year. I find that this size suits my purposes but they make them in sizes from 2 centimeters to fifteen centimeters.

Very nice knife set. Knives and block are nicely made and are of good quality. Knives came very sharp and ready to be used. Overall, these knives and block are very nice.

This knife set is unbelievable. It's sharp, sleek, and does not take a lot of space on the counters. Winning. The only thing I do not like about it is that the stand feels a bit weak and not as good as the knives, however the quality of the knives wins this minor flaw over.

I'm not a Chef, but this seems to be a good quality knife set. I already have a set for myself, this one is for another family member. They are heavy duty in a nice wood case.

We needed a new set of knives and this was the best set (especially for the price range.) I could have doubled the price and purchased the Insignia set, but I took a chance and it is well worth it.

Pros:
Full metal tang
Heavy, good weight
Doesn't rust (so far)
Balanced, blades slice or chop with flow
The smooth handles are comfortable
Handles don't get slippery when wet.

Cons:
Didn't include a Santoku
Didn't include a Partoku

These knives are awesome.
I did feel that the set needed a fine tuning sharpening upon arrival. After that, ready, set, go! These babies sing. It's like carving through butter, melting butter.
 It is a good, strong heavy knife with a full metal tang and seems to be pretty well balanced. It wasn't as sharp as I like, but that was easily solved by sharpening. I really like this set because the smooth comfortable feel of the handle when cutting and chopping. Make sure to hand wash all of the knives after use and
dry before returning the knife back to its slot in the block.

 The set did not come with a Santoku or Partoku, so if you need either, Chicago Cutlery does sell them individually. It compliments and completes the Belden set.

I've owned this set for about a year.  Knives were sharp out of the box, but more importantly they sharpen easily and hold their edge well.  I am very satisfied with with their build or construction quality, their usability.  This set has an optimally useful, well chosen selection of knives. I paid $80 for them on a price promotion, this represents excellent value for money.

After 1 month I bought a second set as a gift, and the recipient is thoroughly delighted.

I just bought a 3rd set, also as a gift, and the current price is $100.  This knife set is easily worth the price.
