How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic Set!
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2018
I did hours of research on affordable knives, that also had an aesthetically pleasing look to them before *finally* committing to a purchase!

Boy, was I glad that I did! These have been fantastic! I haven't had to use a sharpener at all yet (Though it is recommended after so much use)! I have nothing but good things to say, honestly, but I don't want to be a cliche, so lets get down to teh basics.

I was mainly looking for a quality Chef's Knife, Paring Knife and Carving Knife - everything else was a bonus! The peeler works wonders! I have a garden and had loads of cucumbers this year, and the peeler cuts like butter! I almost weeped when I used the carving knife as well - I had an unthawed pack of bacon that needed to be cut into cubes - no time to stick it in the freezer to get a bit solid - so I broke out the carving knife and NEVER have I had an experience where the blade just went straight through unthawed meat like that! I was *AMAZED*.

Need I say more? If you are having doubts, don't. Just go for it! It's a great, affordable product that looks beautiful on your kitchen counter. Make the plunge!

2.0 out of 5 starsUpdate!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2018
I don’t know about durability yet as I just received mine today, but omg is this knife set beautiful...it looks so classy and delicate, you’d think I spent at least $50. I used one of the smaller knives to cut through some heavy-duty tape that was sealing a box, and not only did I cut the tape, but I also ended up cutting right through the box very effortlessly, so be careful because they are very sharp. Absolutely in love so far

UPDATE;
Have had this for a little less than a month and the knives are already scratched from sharpening it. The blade is no longer black, and looks damaged. They are still sharp, and the sharpener helps a lot but I just wish the blade didnt start pealing whenever I sharpen it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Decent quality but some serious flaws
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2019
Style: 17 Piece Set -BlackVerified Purchase
I purchased this knife set in November and was fairly pleased with them. The knives were sharp which is usually what one looks for in a cutting utensil. They didn't rust after 10 minutes of water exposure like my last set, so I was fairly satisfied. Then, I took out the carving knife to cut a pat of butter. As I pressed, the blade became dislodged from the handle, and simply slid out. (The holes were misaligned on the tang and created half circles on the edge of the metal) Now, I am not a professional chef, but I assumed butter cutting is on the list of accomplishments for almost any knife, right? But to be fair, the butter WAS cold, so maybe it's me. Because I couldn't cut the butter to the appropriate amount, I just had to Paula Dean it and throw the whole stick in there! That said, they were $35 and as long as the others can stand up to the tough jobs like cutting butter or slicing tomatoes, I suppose they'll do until I can afford something more reliable, like a spoon... or butter knife.

2.0 out of 5 stars I sent them back.
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2020
Style: 7 Piece Set -BlackVerified Purchase
This set looks pretty cool, so if you don't cook but want to look like you do, go for it.

I read the mixed reviews and took a chance. I'm no chef - I just needed a set of knives to make veggie prep easier. I don't know if you've had the experience of slicing tomatoes with steak knives, but if you have then you understand where I was coming from.

I opened up the package and noticed the conspicuous lack of sharpener, along with two sets of "instructions". I think I probably received a return. When I inspected the knives I noticed chips in the black coating - I picked at a spot with my fingernail and more coating came off. The handles also seemed cheap.

I can't speak to the sharpness or longevity of the blades as I was so thoroughly unimpressed with the flaky coating that they went right back into the box and were returned to Amazon immediately.

These are not stainless steel knives as advertised. Stainless steel does not show spots of rust. These knives showed spots of rust immediately after being washed and left in the dishwasher one night. We have not been able to remove them. Don't waste your money if you're looking for stainless steel.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressive
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020
Style: 7 Piece Set -BlackVerified Purchase
I was really excited to receive this product but shortly after getting it and using it I found myself, under-wow'd. The knives start off sharp but dull VERY quickly. I eat mainly vegan so chop a lot of veggies. I've found that I need to sharpen these knives every other use. I'm by no means a knife expert or some fancy chef, but I've had knives for years that just stayed sharp and worked. I had a set from IKEA that did the job for years before getting dull and they were $12! I just need a set that works every time I reach for them. I don't know about blades and don't want to have to sharpen them after every use. If you like that sort of thing then buy these and you will get lots of practice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can a knife be too sharp?
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
Style: 8 Piece Set - BlackVerified Purchase
These knives could cut a tin can. Of course, they can also cut bread or steak, the serrated edge though, is somewhat like a hack saw. Cutting bread makes lots of crumbs and cutting steak gums the edge with pieces of meat. Cutting on a wooden cutting board will scratch the heck out of it. And while washing them, the edge catches on the rags and the sponges and tears them too.

So, they are certainly inexpensive, and heck they'd be great to butcher a pig as they cut through gristle very easily, but my family doesn't like them for everyday uses. We would actually rather wash the dishes if we were down to only these being clean and we wanted to spread peanut butter on toast, and with our other sets of steak knives, we've used them to spread butter, turn a screw, sharpen a pencil, cut shrink wrap off a package... These, well there is pig butchering, but not much else and how many pigs do you need to butcher in a year?

2.0 out of 5 stars Not sharp at all and can't sharpen them enough to be sharp
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2021
Style: 17 Piece Set -BlackVerified Purchase
This set was such a disappointment.
I opened them (they were a gift) too late to send them back or I would have done just that. The small knives wouldn't and won't cut through a tomato or a stalk of broccoli or an onion or an avocado. They cut no better than a set of free knives you get for opening a new bank account. The large chef's knife doesn't cut ANYTHING. The serrated-edged knife cuts bread pretty well. Sharpening does nothing to any of them.

They look pretty. That's it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it.
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021
Style: 8 Piece Set - BlackVerified Purchase
These knives are functional, but overall quality lacks. They look cool being all black, but the coating on the black scratches easily leaving them look less than appealing. Also, they are not very sharp. It’s difficult to sharpen a serrated blade, so I highly expected these to be very sharp and last quite a while. I am sorely disappointed with that. If I was able to still return these, I would. They’re not worth it. I had to go drop big money on a reputable brand knife block just so I could easily cut my proteins. Sad.

2.0 out of 5 stars Was a Christman 2021 gift for the wife, now rusting mess.
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022
Style: 17 Piece Set -SilverVerified Purchase
Disappointed doesn't even come close to my reaction, this knife sets maiden voyage was on the first of the year (01/01/2022). bought as a Christmas gift for my wife I expected this set to last at least two years. Today is January 28th, 2022 and already three of the knives are rusting to the point of pitting out the edge. We don't let the knives sit in water, nor are they close to any humid areas in the kitchen, on top of that we live in southeast New Mexico so it isn't terribly humid. general knife maintenance isn't to question build quality however is an entirely different story. You get what you pay for is the only lesson I can think of here.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unsafe. Coating coming off.
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021
Style: 8 Piece Set - BlackVerified Purchase
I have had these knives for 1 month. All the good things people say are accurate, but I won’t use these anymore. They may safe stainless steel underneath, but this black coating is chipped and scratched after minimal every day use. I don’t overpack them in a dishwasher or use them for anything outside of the kitchen. Am I eating this coating? Just doesn’t feel safe to me.
