Great looking knives and very sharp...but...

They are awesome knives.  My first set of ceramics.  I waited to write a review to be able to use for a few months, I bought this set in August.  I use at least 5x a week.  Sad that the handle on the vegetable knife (the cleaver looking one) has been loose for about a month now, this is the knife i use the most because I juice and chop vegetables/fruits a lot.

I have been traveling for work the past two months so I'm hoping that I can return the vegetable knife for another. Will do that after I catch up writing reveiws for the products I ordered on amazon. These ceramics are truly great looking knives and are very very sharp, I've cut myself by barely touching the knife witht he side of my hand while it lay on the drip mat by the sink.  I just hope the seller will replace the knife since the handle is coming loose now.

These are by far the nicest knives Ive ever owned. They are beautiful! Sharp and shiny! I love them so much...but they definitely need babying. Clean, dry and store as soon as possible..constantly worrying about spots, rust, loosing it's sheen...they are AMAZING but hard to love...

This is a great looking knife.  It is the size I like, and has the three blades that I like.  So why the 2 stars?  Because I can't open the blades!!  They are exceedingly tight.  A person would need to have bear claws to open it.  I've also tried to use coins to pry them out, but to no avail.  This is the second knife like this I have bought.  The first one was almost as difficult to open, too, but the airport relieved me of it, so I went ahead and bought the second one.  Well, I wasted my money, and it sits in my drawer and taunts me.  If you have strong fingers and very strong nails, maybe this knife will do for you.

I received your ceramic knife set as a Christmas gift, as I was pleased in receiving them as a gift, I wasn't so pleased when the tip chipped off one of the knives in less than 48 hours with no/minor use.  They look cool and sleek, but I'm not so sure about the quality of your knives.  When I visited your website to see some sort or background, mission statement, or guarantee... clicking anywhere referred me to a third party site that was not secure, doesn't seem legit.  I think I would've liked to see those things.  I like the paring knife.

Thank you,

Devin

Pros:
-VERY SHARP KNIVES
Cons/Could Use Improvement:
-blades feel "loose" on two of the knives
Good to Know:
-I personally think the black handed look much better on the stand than the color. If you're planning on setting miss out on your counter The colored knife handles in the ceramic older almost looks like a child's toy In my opinion

I think that this is a four star set of knives, with a nice knife holder if you choose to use it. The knife themselves are very sharp Much sharper than I anticipated them being for the price. I like that they have a variety of sizes and that if you choose the color option they have different colored handle so in your mind you can associate that sized with that color. The only thing that does concern me about these knives is how long they are going to last us When I use them the plastic handle feels so flimsy compared to the ceramic blade. On the set that we received the green handle doesn't seem to be very securely attached to its leg. When we sway from side to side you can almost feel the blade moving, like it needs to be glued in better or something along those lines. I really like the potato peeler it works much better than the other ceramic potato peeler that I have used, although again the plastic handle seems very flimsy.

These nights are very sharp. And I give them four stars just for that. But if you're looking for a set that is going to last you a long time I would think about spending a little bit more money on some that have metal or thicker handles.

Review by P. Thomas- I received this product for a discount. This is my honest opinion of the item and is not influenced by any discount. I don't  give good reviews just because I received an hour a discount- you can look on my reviewer page to see I give a wide range of 1-5  star reviews.  I am NOT paid to leave reviews. Thank you!

All the knives look very nice, but the Santoku was misshaped litter bit. I have to return it. I will buy to try out again.

I got a new set. Excellent quality, beautiful handles, sharp.

I absolutely LOVE my Chicago Cutlery Stainless Steel knife set! I've had some really nice sets in the past but none that can trump my stainless steel set, the only problem. Have at this time is how do I replace one steak knife?  I'm currently looking for steak knives that exactly matches the steak knives in my block of knives. Any suggestions anyone!  There is a number on the knife at the hilt on the blade the number is 9A17AD. If that helps any. I have careless people living here and they have NO RESPECT FOR MY PERSONAL PROPERTY!!

I bought these a few years ago just to have a set in the kitchen. I have used a few of the knives but not all of them. Generally, I have used the steak knives and a few others when I make a beef stew. I haven't had a problem with rust, though. However, although they are fairly sharp, they do cut like you are using a hack saw most of the time. If you're cutting steak, they're ok.....if you're cutting a tomato, they're not so good. I'm ready to move up to a set you have to sharpen.

For new knifes out the box, they were sharp blades.  They have a very nice substantial feel and look.
I asked where the knifes are fabricated and was the edge Euro or Asian. I received answers immediately.
I bought the knives for a house I rent in June. I have other knives for my month ( some familiar names some not). I believe these will stand out in that knife competion.

I will start by saying that I purchased these for $99 not the $95.99 they are currently listed for.  WHAAATTT???  Philyodaddy never gets conned like that!

Here is a ranked order of things I look for in a Knife Set:
1) Sharp as hell
2) Sharp as hell
3) Sharp as hell
4) looks pretty

That is the entire list. I am not nearly proficient enough in the kitchen to have other requirements. The knives are sharp as hell. They cut the crap out of stuff. I enjoy showing off their sharpness to amazed visitors (more realistically, I just show my girlfriend over and over again). Look how easy it is to cut through lemons! You try! Case closed. They are also a pretty good looking knife set. I'm not sure I needed 18 knives, because I only know what about 8 of them do, but it is impressive looking and really makes people know that I'm the boss.

I purchased them about 1 month ago, so I cannot objectively weigh in on the rust-issue (I have none at this point). Therefore my only real con at this point is that this point is that the block is really big and awkwardly fits in my small New York City kitchen. Please note the massive size before you follow me to sharpcity.

Update 11/15/13 - I can now objectively weigh in on the rust-issue.  Non-factor.  That is all.

I selected these knives because I believed they represented the best value. I didn't want to spend $500 for knives, but I also wanted something that would last a good while. All in all the are pretty dang sharp, look nice and seem to pretty sturdy. However, the reason I did not give them more stars is two of my knives are already rusting.... I don't even think my set is 6 months old (can't see when I bought them while typing this review).

Maybe the fine print says something about dishwasher, but that is how one of my knives rusted. The other was on the counter and must have gotten soaked by some water and sat in the water for hours causing some minor rusting. You almost certainly need to clean by hand and dry immediately. Too many rules for knives if you ask me. Normally I give much more detailed reviews, but I am not sure what to say. Still a good price and they are good knives, but if you are on the fence about spending a few more dollars on a nicer set you've been eyeballing then go for. If you need a decent, sharp knife set and don't mind cleaning them ASAP after each use then go for it.

Need to learn how to sharpen it properly, but incredibly sharp edge on a great looking knife. Doesn't hold the edge as long as some of my cheaper knives, but that's to be expected as it's starting from a sharper starting point.

I have owned a crappy set of serated knives for so long... it was time to upgrade.

These knives are SHARP.  Be incredible careful, I was washing one and was holding it by the handle, and the handle slipped a little bit and the blade fell about 2" towards my hand, and it sliced right into my skin pretty badly, like butter.

The steak knives are great, the sharpener is a little awkward at first but seems to work anyway.  Overall I'm very happy for the price.

The knife is really nice and sharp, but I am just not good with it.  If you can learn or already skilled with these then go for it.  I only purchased it becuase of other Kuhn Rikon knives I own and I absolutely love those.  They are the straight bright colored ones.  They are good to keep knives with certain foods and I generally like bright colors.  This looks cool, but isn't my go to knife.  I still use it occasionally.  However, I think this is all user error.  The knife is nice and is very reasonably priced.

These are very pretty knives. The only problem I had with them was that they did not come with sharp blades. Usually if they are not sharp when they are new, they will not sharpen very well. In other words if the maker can't sharpen them I probably can't either. That doesn't matter a lot in this case because they were bought for gifts and will probably never be used.

I did not want to give any of the Mora knives a five only because they seem like fancy awesome high quality "kitchen" knives versus Field related blades. HAVING SAID THAT......The fact is i contradict my own reason.  This along with all Mora knives I own are truly work related DAILY carry and used almost as much or carried as much as my folders....They are light...They are RAZOR sharp...and they perform way more effectively in task knives are needed for..EXCELLENT PRODUCT...also they are not made in China...thats automatically give it 3 stars right there...

These knives blow my original set out of the water!  They are amazingly sharp and work very well.  However, one knife ended up in the dishwasher by mistake and the color on the handle almost completely wore off!  I have no idea what to do about that!
