Great Starter Knife Set With Everything You Need
Size: 9-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
5/5 stars for the Amazon Basics High Carbon Stainless Steel Knife Set. I have been really impressed with this set overall and it has handled pretty much every kitchen task I have thrown at it so far. Right out of the box the knives were insanely sharp and felt much higher quality than I was expecting for the price. One of the biggest pros is the variety of knives included. It comes with basically every knife you would need for normal cooking and kitchen use which makes it a great all-in-one set. The knives also have a really nice weight to them and feel balanced in the hand instead of feeling cheap or flimsy. The grip is nice as well not slippery and while using it I feel like it stays put in my hand. They have held up well with regular use and have been easy to clean after cooking. The high carbon stainless steel has also done a good job resisting rust and staining which is important for a set that gets used often. Another nice addition is the included honing rod which helps maintain the edge and keep the blades performing well over time. I did notice that the edge on the knife I use the most has started to wear down a tiny bit after extended use, but that is expected with pretty much any frequently used kitchen knife and can usually be maintained with regular honing. As for cons, the wooden knife block is nice looking but I could see it potentially cracking over time if it is not taken care of properly or exposed to too much moisture. Other than that, I really do not have many complaints with this set. Overall I think this is a fantastic knife set for anyone who just moved out and needs a complete kitchen setup or for someone wanting to replace an older worn out knife set. I actually gifted a set to my in-laws already and they have been loving it as well. I would definitely recommend it.

Good For Living On The Edge
Size: 9-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
It was past time to replace my dollar store chef knife with a decent set with a bread knife and no steak knives. I first looked at Wüsthof as I always liked that brand, but never owned any. I used a borrowed paring knife for a while and was impressed with the quality. My line cooking time is over and though I would have liked to have a set of forged Wüsthofs, the price was too much for occasional use. My favorite chef knife was a 10" wide Victorinox/Forschner until it got stolen. I replaced it with an 8" version, but it was not wide and felt very different. Still my first choice for stamped high-carbon stainless steel blades. Again, the price for a set was a bit high for use once in a while. I spotted the Amazon Basics 9-Piece Premium Kitchen Knife Block Set. Wait. A forged high carbon stainless steel knife set for that price? I read through all the reviews even the one with the picture of the broken knife, the set seems to be a good buy. Certainly better than a dollar-store knife and a few dollars more than an empty knife block. While I haven't given them a good workout on food yet, I can tell they are very good given the price. I would have liked the chef's knife to be a bit wider, but I can live with it as is. I tried the index finger and thumb holding test on the chef knife and it was comfortable, but not so much on the Santoku knife. I am new to the Santoku Knife. I guess I would hold and use it more like a cleaver. The knives all feel pretty sharp out of the box, though like nearly all new knives, they need some fine-tuning to be really sharp. Sure they are not a top-name branded knife set and if I was still a working line cook I would choose a different set, but as a casual home cook, I like these very much.

Great set of knives balanced between cost and quality
Size: 9-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
I was in the market for a new set of knives because my old set, a long ago gift from my well intentioned parents, was serrated. I have also had some "fancier" knives over time as well including a Wushtof chef's knife and a Shun santoku knife. So when I started looking to replace my knife set, I started looking at various different brands. My main goal was to find a balance between the quality of the knives and the cost, as in many cases, knives can get expensive pretty quickly. I also knew that I didn't really need the steak knives that often come with these sets because we hardly entertain, which means not a significant need for steak knives. When I saw these, I thought "This can't be for real for this price..." The knives work well, offering all the sizes and types I need for basic cooking. They are balanced fairly well, and while I could see some people not liking the plastic handles rather than wood, it doesn't really bother me. They are comfortable both in my grip and also in my wife's, who has smaller hand than I do. We find them easy to work with, from meats to fruits and veggies. They feel pretty solid, and appear to be full tang knives (all one piece of metal down through the handle, not welded together). I am pretty confident they will hold up for years with regular care, all at a price that is at or below many other introductory sets of knives. The block is a basic block of solid wood, as you would expect with most knife sets. The holes for the knives aren't cut exactly to the blade sizes, but honestly it doesn't really matter that it's not exact, as all the knives are able to fit in the slots. The rubber feet keep it in place on the counter, and the block is sealed/laminated to stand up to standard kitchen wear and exposure. I would recommend this set to anyone who is looking for a good balance between quality and cost, who needs a good set of knives to get them going in the kitchen and be functional, without breaking the bank.

Excellent set at an affordable price
Size: 18-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
I'm not a chef, nor a knife aficionado. My wife and I both enjoy cooking and prepare our meals at least 5 days a week. We had a medium quality knife set that was around 13 years old. Due to improper cleaning (placed in the dishwasher most of the time) the blades dulled and rust spots appeared. We decided that a high end set might be a nice gift to ourselves, and looked at the premium brands available. Being non-professionals I started to feel uncomfortable spending upwards of $300 on a knife set. I have been watching these knives for a while now, and have read countless reviews, both good and bad to help me decide if these are worth getting. Having purchased other Amazon Basic items I felt that these were a safe bet, and if I were unhappy I could easily return them. Upon arrival the knifes looked fantastic. They were very nicely packaged and easy to safely unpack. The block was in perfect condition (some reported cracks upon arrival). I inspected the knives and all appeared to be in perfect condition showing no dings, burrs or warping. After a quick hand wash and dry I placed them all in the block. I did have a slight issue with one of the steak knife slots not fully cleared and preventing the knife from sliding all the way down. I was easily able to clear it using an old steak knife as there was only a wood chip stuck in the slot. I have used the knives about every day for the past 2 weeks and so far the are great to use. Very comfortable, super sharp and they clean up well. The only issue I have had is the Scissors come apart very easily, I've had them fall apart while using them twice already. I will see about adjusting the tension on the connection, but honestly the scissor is not very important to me and I don't mind replacing them with higher quality kitchen scissors if need be. Overall we are very happy with this purchase and I expect that with proper cleaning these knives will last a very long time.

Forged Knives at a Stamped-Knife Price
Size: 18-Piece, Style: Traditional Handle Design
Purchased as a gift for a friend suffering with an old, rusted, chipped set of cheap big-box knives. As far as I can tell, these are one-piece forged/milled knives with a full tang... no idea how Amazon gets them so cheap. I have a set of J.A. Henckels Four-Star that were 5x the price, and these knives are almost as nice in fitment and quality. Some of the grinds at the bolster aren't quite symmetrical, but nothing that functionally affects the knife. Not show-dogs, just old reliable mutts that get you where you need to be. Knives have a good weight and balance, not too heavy but sit well in the hand and have a nice action. The edge out of the box is only average, and the chef's knife had a decent roll to the edge out of the box. However, they sharpen easily and can take a fine edge with a little work with the steel (no word on edge longevity yet, they don't cook that often). The shears come apart for cleaning (which is nice), although I found it a little too unstable when opening them wide, the rivet is at 90* so when taking a big bite they have a tendency to come apart rather than scissor. Changing to a design that doesn't separate until they're fully open would make them much better. The woodblock is pine, and had a distinct pine scent out of the box (I suppose this is an area where they saved money, I would pay a premium to get a bamboo block instead). The exterior was well-finished, but the interiors of the knife slots did have some rough spots and/or splinters from the milling. Nothing that stops it from working as intended, a little back and forth solved the majority of problems. Friend hand washed them after receiving them, but left them damp. Water spots, but no rust on any of the blades, the steel had light surface rust that came off with a scrubby sponge and soap. Overall I remain optimistic they will stand up to the abuse of a forgetful cook. Having bought expensive German steel, and now these, I daresay I would probably be unable to tell the difference between the two in the kitchen.
