I experimented with all of the Henckels Four Star 2's and Wusthofs for quite a while but neither fit my hand as well and neither had the balance I prefer. These knives look amazing so the average home kitchen chef will look like a pro but the design helps you to cut like one as well. Calphalon isn't known for their top tier knives but these can compete with the best, especially for the money. Don't be turned away just becasue of their name or because they will spot if you mistreat them. Wash them each time, maybe run them down the steel and wipe them dry before you put them away like any $300+ set of knives should be treated and you'll have years worth of enjoyment out of these heavier than average blades.

Found these on line and purchased for my wife who runs a home based daycare and cooks for 12-14 kids daily. She has never had the privilege of using nice cutlery and would probably not spend the money on something like this for herself. She frowned at me when she found out what they cost and wanted me to return them. I insisted that she give them a try and was just as pleasantly surprised as she was. The handles are very comfortable and allow for a variety of holding positions. The Damascus style blade is beautiful. The only word of caution I can offer is that you wash and dry the blades immediately as the blades will stain if not attended to promptly. We have been using these for almost a year now and are just as pleased with their performance today as we were the first day.

Great Knife set! I did lot of research and finally decided to buy Calphalon Katana 8 piece set. But it turned out to be great decision. The Knives looks beautiful and the handle is one of the best I have seen so far. It is very comfortable; especially the integrated bolster for my pinch grip. I specially like the 8" Chef knife. It has perfect weight and balance. Out the box I did not find them super sharp. Some were sharper than others. The smaller ones had Don't get me wrong; it is sharp for average person but not for me because my obsession for sharpness. After few minutes on 6000 grit Japanese water stone and little bit of stropping on leather belt it now scary sharp! It holds the sharpness for very long time. The average user should be able to keep the sharpness for months without any use of sharpening steel. My old German knives are gathering dust. I just simply can't think of going back to German blades.
Beware of the included Sharpening steel, it is very abrasive; if not used correctly it will dull your knives. I actually do not use them and instead use my old ceramic steel.
It is a great bargain for the price. If the money were not an objective I would have got those custom Japanese Damascus knives. Buy these, you will not go wrong.

Really enjoying this knife set. The selection and sizes of knifes are good for home cooking. Have owned these for about 8 weeks now and they knives seem to be holding there sharpness well. I particularly like the Santuko knives and use those the most. And I found cleanup of the knives to be simple and easy. They fit well in my hand and feel very comfortable. They also seem well made and high quality.
While I'm not a chef myself a couple people I work with are and they showed me a bunch of different manufacturers knives. They told me they rather liked the Calphalon knives and suggested I check them out. I bought the 7" Santuko by itself prior to buying the set. I liked it so much that I decided to invest into a set. No regrets at all. A set of knives like this will last me for many years to come.

These blades are NOT stainless steel - the damascus style outer metal is stainless but the knife edge itself and the center "core" of the blade is actually high carbon tool steel and rusts, pits and even chips away VERY easily. Anyone who owns high-end knives knows that this is completely unacceptable for any knife marketed to the general public.
I own several Hinkels, Wosthofs, and even two Shun "classics" and received the 5" Santoku knife as a gift. I very much enjoyed the knife - from the unconventiaonal look to the fierce quality of the blade. It was great until one fateful day when I was lazy after a dinner party and left the blade alone in a slightly wet sink. The next morning, you wouldn't believe how badly the knife edge splintered and rusted after only 12 hours! It was completely ruined!
Every one has been warned!
Do NOT purchase these knives.
