"I picked this set in particular over other Chicago Cutlery sets that i was looking at because I prefer the slightly rubberized grips on these ones versus the slick plastic handles on some of the others. I wanted to mention the steak knives that come with the set just because they seemed to be a point of concern in the other reviews I read about these knives before I bought them. I decided to buy them anyway because the steak knives are just sort of included and not what I was really buying the set for. The steak knives are made of one piece of metal without the rubberized handles that the rest of the other knives have, and feel light in your hand."
"The only difference is that the wooden block used to have a metal plate through which the knives fit into the wood. The new version does not have the metal plate -- probably a cost-cutting measure."
"Very sharp and love these knives."
"Sharp and hefty...if you want a completely forged set, not where the steak knives are stamped, this is an excellent value."
"Incredibly sharp, beautifully designed and I agree 100% to those who said the knives did not line up right in the block, but they are nicer than any I've EVER set out to use, having the steak knife perfectly match our silverware."
"I attempted to cut a pineapple today with the largest knife and the handle literally snapped off while making the first cut."
"I ended up buying some Cuisinart knives that are cheaper, seem to be just as sharp and hopefully last a lot longer than 2 weeks of minimal use."
Introducing the Cuisinart Classic Stainless Steel Cutlery 15-piece Block Set. Easy to clean and precision-tapered ground blades that narrow gradually to an extremely sharp, fine edge.

I'm really not a fan of the steak knives for their intended purpose, but out of all of the pieces of this set they are by far the highest quality and I anticipated them outlasting everything else. All of the larger knives share this issue - the handle is really sub-par and feels as though it's hollow. Back to the knife, it starts off quite sharp but doesn't hold an edge for very long. It has a fairly pointless finger guard on it that will eventually get in the way once sharpened enough times. and I would say "No, it's really just that the honing tool in this thing is so cheap and underwhelming that I've never bothered to use it." So far as the other negative reviews here concerned with spotting and rusting on the blades: Stop putting them in the dishwasher, and if you say you haven't been, you're either lying (or someone else in your house is doing it without your knowledge) or you're putting your knifes into the block wet/not drying them properly."
"My only complaint is that some of the knives don't fit snugly on the top portion of the block as it is not easy to distinguish which knives go where."
"The set we owned previously had a two piece handle that water would somehow get in to after going through the dishwasher."
"We were in desperate need of new knives so I bought these for my husband's birthday."
"They are very sharp, look and work very well."
"Knives rust badly and only look new for the first couple of weeks."
"I had these less than a month and already rust."
"Great looking knives sharp enough..."

Same as above to put knife back in. Take a look at the knives with the comparison against the height of a roll of paper towels and my Wusthof set, the standard wooden block that allows you to pull the knives out at an angle, thus requiring only one hand."
"The knives are excellent -- in addition to my boyfriend's thumb they slice sponges like butter as you clean them so I recommend only using sponges on a stick."
"My husband and I like "sharp" knives."
"So far, these knives are exceeding our expectations."
"Fantastic buy and awesome knives!"
"Love the design of this knife set."
"Since I hand wash my knives, I just hit the edge before returning them to the block so they are ready for next time. Like others have said, I do have to lean the display out from under the cabinets to extract the larger knives."
"Great knives!!"

"Wow the best steak knives I have every owned."
"I wanted a set of Wustoff steak knives to match my 14 year old Wustoff Grand Prix II set (which I love) but those steak knives are about $65 per knife, so I thought I would give this brand (I'd never heard) of a try because it got such good reviews in Amazon."
