$160 at AmazonWhy is it a good deal? ????
Now, to be fully transparent, we've yet to see this set retail for its list price of $440. That being said, one quality knife can cost as much, if not more, than this entire 20-piece collection — and at $160, you're getting it for an all-time low price. Oh, and you should know that the brand's blades also topped our list of the best knives and knife sets, as tested by professional chefs.
Why do I need this? ????
The handles are curved to fit comfortably in your hand, and their stainless steel blades let you make even, precise, paper-thin cuts with ease. The knives were designed to be lightweight and easy to clean, plus the blades are stain- and rust-free, so you can wash them by hand or throw them in the dishwasher without worry. (Just note that, as with all knives, they'll likely last longer if you hand-wash them.)
The set comes with an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, an 8-inch carving knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, 5-inch and 6-inch utility knives, a 5.5-inch boning knife, 3- and 4-inch paring knives and eight steak knives. You'll also get a sharpening steel, a pair of kitchen shears and a stylish wooden block to store everything in.

What reviewers say ????
Choppers — sorry ... shoppers — say these knives actually make cooking easier and safer.
Pros ????
"This knife set is amazing and beautiful in the wood block," said one home chef. "Each knife cuts perfectly and is super comfortable to hold. The selection of knife sizes and styles in this set is all you need. Looking forward to having this set of knives for years to come."
Another wrote, "I have never owned better knives. They cut so easily. Have had them for about a year and still haven't needed to sharpen any of them! I will never own another brand of knives again!"
"These knives aren't only sharp, they are just heavy enough to have a substantial and expensive feel to them," raved a third. "I cook steak for guests often and have been asked/complimented about the knives many times already."
Cons ????
One downside is that there are so many knives, you may not know what to do with them all! But better to have them than to not, so you're prepared for any recipe.
This four-star reviewer noted: "The knives cut so nicely and with little effort. The only reason for a 4-star is I wish there was a list as to which knife goes where in the block, and a list as to what some of the knives are used for. I know a few of them, I'm just trying to get better in the kitchen."
"These knives are beautiful [and] really, really sharp," noted a final fan. "In fact, they are so sharp, they will cut you if you slightly catch yourself, so be really careful. I actually do not let my mother-in-law use these because she is quite clumsy, and these would do some serious damage if she accidentally caught herself. Additionally, these knives will rust if you put them in the dishwasher or leave them wet, so wash them and dry them immediately, then store them appropriately. This is no different than most high-end knives. So far we love them!"

"I love this so much," wrote one self-described "obsessed" reviewer. "I held off buying a sharpener for years because I thought it had to be electric and expensive. Well, this thing surprised me. It works so well with only a couple of pulls in each slot. I have a whole new set of knives!"
