KYOKU Kitchen Knife Set with Block, Japanese 440C Stainless Steel 7pc Knife Block Set, Daimyo Series Knife Block with Knives for Kitchen, Professional Chef Knife Set with Rotating Block Tablet Holder

These are my favorite knives. Easy to handle.

I bought this set because I wanted to feel like a samurai in the kitchen. And boy, did it deliver! These knives are so sharp, they can slice through anything like butter. I mean anything. Tomatoes, bread, cheese, carrots, fingers… you name it. They are also very well-made and durable. The steel is rust-resistant and holds its edge for a long time. The handles are comfortable and ergonomic. The wooden block is sturdy and elegant.The main downside is that these knives are too good for their own good. They make me want to chop everything in sight, even when I don’t need to. Sometimes I catch myself staring at them with a maniacal grin on my face. My family thinks I’m crazy. But they don’t understand the power of these blades.I had low expectations for this set because I've previously owned "Japanese" knives, specifically Ginsu ones. After using these knives, I was pretty impressed but don't think they're from Japan or made in Japan. These blades are made in China (which Kyoku admits) and some even go as far to claim that these are rebranded Chinese knives, meaning they're not unique to Kyoku.I'm not sure if they're rebranded Chinese knives but I can tell you I am still very impressed with these knives. The sharpness is impressive, and I love that the company has great customer service and a lifetime warranty on the blades. You can buy these knives with confidence because of the warranty and customer service from the company but don't think they're Japanese knives. They're way too cheap to be true Japanese knives.If you’re looking for a high-quality knife set that will make you feel like a ninja master, look no further than this set. Just be careful not to lose any limbs in the process.

These knives are SHARP! Great quality Japanese steel. Not too heavy. I really wish steak knives came with this set.

While these are not as heavy as some knifes out there they are made of extremely good steel. The important thing is they are heat treated to a point that a dulling knife can be brought back with just a steel a lot of knives you find need stones or diamond plates for sharpening and this is something most people lack the equipment and skill to do. I have Used these to brake down larger cuts of meat and to prepare vegetables and find them a joy to use with handles that are easy to control and the knife block is both a attractive piece of wood and the little bracket for a recipe card or a device a real treat to use

This is one of those items that looks so good that you don’t want to use, they are beautiful and it looks fancy, they actually looks really fancy from the package to the base, since is wood and has a 360 gyro base. It comes with everything you need, this is perfect for a gift or for your self.
