Just not comfortable in the hand, knife handles are thinner than I prefer as well

I'm normally a huge Corelle fan.  Most of my kitchenware is from Corelle, from my placemats, salt and pepper shakers, trays, all my dishes I use daily, coffee cups, etc...  So I had high hopes for these.

The quality is decent - everything arrived in perfect shape, well wrapped and protected.  No marring of the surface on any of the pieces.

But for me, that's where it stops.  The handles are just very thin, there's no heft to them.  And the brushed part of the pattern just doesn't feel good under the hands, it makes it feel uncomfortable.  Like a somewhat smooth chalkboard feel.  Not at all what I want to feel under my hand when I'm eating.  Each time I adjusted my hand on the pieces, set down, or picked up, my spine was tingling.  The forks and spoons aren't so bad, since the back of them is at least smooth, the pattern doesn't continue to the underside, but the knives have that feeling on both sides and are just uncomfortable for me to hold.

So while I love everything else I have that is Corelle, I'll have to stick with my Oneida flatware for the time being.

Really hated the handle on this. Bought it for work and there was no way it would be comfortable for what I was doing. Maybe for the occasional home chef, but definitely not a professional knife. Other knives from the same line have been ok, however

I found these difficult to place into the jar gently, and wish I had bought a set instead that has handles built in for easier grabbing.

Overall this is a decent knife but the uncomfortably grippy handle makes it hard for me to recommend. I carry clipped inside the corner of my right front pocket and every time I go to reach in my pocket its like rubbing against sand paper. Ive never needed a knife handle to be that grippy. If they changed that this would be in rotation with my spydercos and benchmade. The s30v blade is very nice and I like the shape. The thumb studs are well designed and easy to engage with and the spring assist works well. Im not sure if this is by design but the liner lock doesnt seem to fully engage the blade, it feels secure and its one of the easier liner locks to disengage requiring little travel and force but its not very confidence inspiring. Overall the quality blade and opening mechanism is let down by handle inserts that feel like slightly rubbery sandpaper that is not very pleasant to the touch.

The handle on this knife is its flaw. The way the finger grooves are placed doesn't fit your hand properly. I've got big hands which offsets this a little bit, but it would be worse for most people with average to smaller hands. Even though the knife is priced cheap its money wasted because you won't be using the knife.

Knives aren't as sharp and take a while to cut things. Also the side compartments are kinda small and don't really hold much except the utensils provided which slip through.

Smaller in real life than would appear in pictures.  I guess I have big hands and this knife just feels clumsy to me.  Afraid I might sling it across the room when using the flipper.  Mine did not come "razor" sharp as some have said.  This thing is so small and light that I am very afraid of losing it.  Not sure what it's intended application/use is.  Not a working knife or a self defense knife unless death by a thousand cuts is your thing.  Decent letter opener I reckon.  Better than not having a knife I guess.  Would rather have one of those $12 Smith and Wesson knives or one of those Chinese stilettos for the same price.  At least if the knife fails you can use it like a roll of quarters in your fist.

bigger than my expectation but rather light, a bit hard to hold at both handles as they are too thin

I like the fine honed blade. But the handle is thin and so lightweight. I worry about it sliding out of my hand, especially if it gets wet while using, and when washing it. This knife was previously  recommended by America's Test Kitchen. I never questioned their suggestions - until now.

I very much wanted to like this knife - it seemed to fit all my requirements for a small, heavy-duty blade. The one I received was very difficult to open, and I could not seem to get a satisfactory adjustment on the pivot tension. I expect it would have broken in over time, but with such an expensive item, I decided not to take a chance and returned it.

Secondly, I have somewhat small hands, and could not find a grip I was comfortable with. There's no real choil or ramp to act as a guard, and I could feel my fingers wanting to slip dangerously close to the blade as I choked up.

This electric knife is so NOT ergonomic, it's not funny. I do all the carving in our family - everything from turkey, to prime rib, to flank steak and more. The bottom of the handle is flat with a sharp edge that bites into the palm of your hand while trying to cut anything. (see in the picture how it rests flat against the wooden backboard? That is where it cuts into you.) In addition, there's no way to stop the handle from sliding out of your hand when gravy or juice gets on it, and it's very uncomfortable after a very short time. While it is pretty, it's absolutely not a good tool for cutting. The blades have also become very dull long before I think they should have. If you're more about form than function, this is the knife for you.

I ordered this in haste when I misplaced my Kershaw Blackout.  I wanted to try a tanto bladed knife, and it looks nice, however in person this knife is not very easy to work with.  My main complaints are that it's heavy, the clip makes it a serious pain to get it out when it's clipped in my back pocket, and the locking mechanism is not easy to operate one-handed.  I guess that could be a plus from the standpoint that it's definitely locked, but it's a pain for EDC.  It's a solid knife with a nice blade, just not my favorite for every day.  In the meantime, I found my Blackout, so the Cryo only gets carried when I feel guilty for leaving it on the nightstand.

moved to 4 stars, after trying one with the T handle, this round palm handle is nicer, if it had the ability to cut, it would be 5 star

it works, but reason for 3 stars is the awkward handle end.  you have to hook you fingers on the prongs and squeeze with palm.  it just isn't very comfortable.

i'm going to try a different type that has a bar that goes into palm

the small end is nice for getting into small spots, but then there is no scissor attachment

This feels cheaply made. The first thing I didn't like about it was the handle design. Fiskars could have done some ergonomic studies on this. Instead, we get a handle that is quite common for grass shears. My hand tires easily when using these. If you have small hands--very small--you might find this acceptable.

Another thing I don't like is the cutting ability. I feel like I am cutting grass with a pair of cuticle scissors with this. Don't expect to be able to quickly move through very thick grass with these. If you have a lot of grass around the edges of items in the yard, it will be slow going. Don't be in a hurry if you use these. Use this time to become mindful of your surroundings and experience oneness. Think of this as a tool for meditation--like the rake in a Japanese sand garden. For me, I'd rather get the job done quicker.

If I had purchased this from a local store, I would have returned it. I was a bit surprised by this item having expected much better from this company. I have other Fiskars products and am quite happy with them.

I had no problem with the quality of the Victorinox 8" chefs knife. It just seemed too big for my hand to use it properly. The blade was too wide for my liking. I'm used to a somewhat narrower/thinner knife. I had a beauty school instructor tell me once that he had to try out many scissors/shears before he found the right one to fit his hand. I think I will go into a local restaurant store and try them out before I buy another one. Even though America's Test Kitchen recommended this knife it just wasn't right for me and I returned it.

The coating on the handles looked cheap and thin, that would make it uncomfortable to use for any length of time. I quickly returned them and will look for something with better hand grips.
