Emojoy Knife Set, 18-Piece Kitchen Knife Set with Block Wooden, Manual Sharpening for Chef Knife Set, German Stainless Steel

I've had this set since 2020 now. I just moved and can't find them so I was going to order a few knives to use until the box is found. I realized I hadn't written a review for this set and would love to share my enjoyment having purchased this set. The steak knives are great and work perfectly for anything you want to cut. They still look brand new. My butcher block where my knives are stored looks brand new as I place them in backwards so when you pull them out they don't cut into your wood. These knives don't have any gaps to leave food or debris between the knife and handle. They stay sharp and having the sharpener to keep them that way is very convenient. The color is lovely. I've never placed them in the dishwasher and never would if you want your knives to last. I don't need to replace them or won't have to for a very long time. They aren't expensive, they don't feel cheap and remind me of Henkel without the cost. I highly recommend getting them. You can't go wrong!

I've had this knife set for about 5 months now. So far, I haven't had any issues with the quality of these knives. Having read lower reviews, I've kept up with hand washing them and never letting them soak to prevent rust. They were incredibly sharp right out of the box. They have maintained that sharpness after 5 months. All materials seem to be of good quality. Given what a good knife set typically costs, I'd say you can't beat the price, especially with pretty frequent sales on the item.

I love the packaging of this knife set. Within the box, the block was packaged separately and the knives were wrapped individually, with a hard plastic protective piece on each knife tip. It arrived in attentive packaging to ensure that all parts of the order were fully protected! The knives and brown wooden block look exactly like they do in the pictures, if not better than the pictures! There are 18 different silver and black colored, high quality knives and sharpener that come with this order, which all fit nicely into the wooden block. The knives have some weight to them, have a nice grip, and are very sharp! The block is also of high quality and is well-built to hold all of the knives/ sharpener on a slant, so it fits perfectly on the kitchen counter top, underneath the cabinets. The aesthetic appeal of the knife set and block are also amazing, as the black/silver knives and brown wooden block match the overall theme (style and colors) of my kitchen. There is also a small instruction pamphlet which shows a picture of each knife and it’s associated formal name on page 1, what each knife is used for on page 2, and the recommended sharpening method, cleaning techniques and other tips on page 3. I find this to be extremely helpful, as I was not accustomed to using so many different types of knives, let alone when to use each type of knife. These knives save time assembling meals due to their sharpness, and are much safer than the dull knives that I was using. This is a fantastic knife set and I’m so excited to be able to use them for my daily meal prep!

I'm not paying chef quality prices, so I'm not expecting Chef quality knives. What I did get, was way better quality than I expected (which is always nice). Context for this review, these knives replaced a set that we've had over 20 years and were mid to high range quality. I bought 3 different sets to compare at the same time. One went back before being fully unboxed. The handles felt like light cheap plastic, and the set actually cost more. The other was more comparable, but still did not have the sturdy, comfortably weighted, feel of these knives. Plus, I love the extra smooth feel of the grips on these. The color is what bright me to the knives in the first place. It is as pictured. It goes great in the house in which we recently moved (with a much different color scheme than we've ever had prior to this). The knives have cut very well, especially for their price point which is always important to keep in mind. I loved everything about these including over the set we kept for over 20 years, except for one small thing. The scissor placement. This is an issue with many of the sets even the "higher quality" ones that cost much more. The Scissors are probably the most consistently used single item, but they have a lower profile and are stuck in the center of higher profiled knives. This does not make them as easy to retrieve or return as it would if they were in the front or at least a far edge of the block. I mean, it makes no sense to me to have a taller item (that is probably not used as regularly = knife sharpener) in front of the scissors. That is for me the only reason I could not give it 5 stars. I'm also a little worried about the actual block showing wear and tear relatively easily with the knives etc... coming in and out over time. But hopefully, that can be easily fixed with wood touch up. I have not been willing to put them in the dishwasher despite conflicting information saying they are dishwasher safe. One steak knife got put in by a guest and it came out just fine, but I personally still would not want to run the risk of effects over time. Overall I am thrilled with this knife set which has been in use for over 4 months before being reviewed. It is absolutely gorgeous and works and cuts well minus the scissors placement mentioned above.

The last knife set I purchased was many years ago, so I keep them for quite a long time. I've had this knife set for about a month, and I would definitely recommend it! Good look, good sturdy feel, a great edge on all of the knives out of the box, and they seem to be pretty durable especially for this price point! My only complaint is the angle at which the knives sit in the block. Something I didn't consider when purchasing this set is that my knife block sits on my kitchen counter, underneath a cabinet, which makes it difficult to remove the knives as they come out more straight up and down than towards the person pulling the knife out. Wish they would have cut a steeper angle, but I compensated this by cutting a small block of wood and propping up the back end of the knife block. It's not a perfect solution, but it definitely helped!

When I can take a knife out of the wrapping and thinly slice paper, that's sharp. When I buy knives, I usually have to do a corrective sharpening (angle and remove grinder burrs, even my Buck Premium folding hunters have a horrible factory edge) but these have an excellent factory sharpening. Stainless blades require a tighter sharpening angle than carbon steel blades, this sharpening angle of about 20 degrees is good, so maintain the that angle with the sharpening steel. One reason I bought this knife over others is the hardness (HRC55) is etched on the blade. equivalent to about 274,000 pounds per square inch. For reference that is almost as hard as a common file. A spring is about 130,000 pounds per square inch. This high Chromium stainless is hard, very hard. I would be cautious in applying any great deal of prying force. Only what is required in normal food preparation. (From experience. Almost everything I know, I learned from a screw up.) The appearance of the knives is very good. The blade, tang and pommel, or butt of the knives are a single piece of steel, which is good. The wooden block is massive, over 9 inches tall and heavy. The holes go all the way through the block for easy cleaning. I will edit this review after using the knives for a few days. Edit. I have relegated all other knives to the kitchen junk drawer. This knife set is very good. The handles on the paring and peeling knives are big enough for medium male hands. Although big enough for my hands, I think they would be comfortable to anyone with smaller hands. I would recommend that the elderly or infirm buy some cut resistant gloves. These are very sharp. The scissors are kind of cheesy, but work ok. It would have been nice if this set had the scissors same as the 15 pc set. The curved peeling blade needs some getting used to, but I really like it.

This is a very beautiful knife set! It matches beautifully with all my other appliances. The knives all cut really well too. I strongly recommend this set.

Bought this for my mom for Christmas. She loves it. Knifes cut great very sharp. Amazing set in your kitchen.

so sharp and great value ! diced room temp bacon with one hand and a baby in the other arm . no slicing just diced into squares, pretty impressive. dont leave in sink though i cut my finger washing the frying pan barely grazed it!

Knives with defectives. Will try to return it.

Absolutely love these knives. They are a very nice colour, easy to hold and extremely sharp. I highly recommend

Beautiful knives, sturdy and sharp! Best purchase so far! My last knife set didn’t meet standards and chipped easily even with the card I give my kitchen knives. So far these supersede my expectations

Love this knife set, the design, feel of the knife in your hand (smoothness of the handle and the blade when youre cutting), the ergonomic of this knife set is amazing. I was very surprised at how sharp these knives are. I'm truly happy with this purchase.
