It seems like we have bought new knives every few years for one reason or another, but two years ago, I decided I was going to buy a nice set for my wife for Christmas. I wanted the "lifetime purchase" this time. We don't do a lot of cooking, the knives are mostly for the steaks and bread. At the store, I really liked these knives... they are simple yet a touch of elegance. They have a very nice heft to them, and they are balanced very well, and they fit the hand well. The scissors get used for all kinds of things, and they are nice; the bread knive is good. The larger butcher style knives are simply dull, and feel more dangerous than confidence inspiring. But all that is fine for us... its just the steak knives that really give me pause, but that is by far what we use the most. The problem is that the serrated design is very fine, and from the very first cut, the teeth "load up". By this I mean that the steak ends up filling all the gaps in the serrations and when the knife comes out you can barely tell it is a serrated knife anymore. You can keep cutting, and they will work, but the effort goes up and the mess of meat that is stuck to the knife after every cut is frustrating. There's nothing you can really do about it, just keep cutting and put it in the dishwasher, or use a napkin to carefully pull the remnants out. I've never had a knife do this before... I've had duller knives for sure, but its almost like I'd rather have a clean knife that is less sharp than a sharp one that loads up and acts dull.
Semi-related, I bought the full Calphalon pots and pans set at the same time for all the same in-store feelings. Now, after a couple of years use, the frying pans have been passed to the trash can... the non-stick coating just started peeling / flaking off, and the thought of that in the food is horrible (read up on it... not good to eat teflon). Its like they got so close on both products, but has left me assured I won't buy either again.

Love these knives! I have bought them for a few family memebers and everyone loves them!

I looked long and hard for a good set of reasonably priced knives and settled on this set. Although I love the weight and the professional quality of the set I am very disappointed with the way they rust if washed in the dishwasher - especially if you have a very hot dry cycle. Because family members sometimes forget to wash them by hand I have to clean them with CLR to get the rust stains off. Be aware that if you have hard water the handles will whiten over time unless washed by hand. As previously stated they do have to be sharpened frequently but it takes only a few seconds and the sharpener comes with the set.

The knives were delivered on time, everything was there and undamaged. The box was a bit banged up, but not enough to lose points over.
The knives themselves are very nice, cut unbelievably well, pleasantly balanced and easy to grip. Calphalon products are always of wonderful quality and these are no exception.
My only regret is that I did not buy two sets, as this one was purchased as a gift and now I want one.

I purchased a single Calphalon knife (the 7" Santoku) from a local store to try this brand, as I had not used it before. I LOVED the Santoku knife, and even though it's recommended that you sharpen the knives before each use, I did not do it, just to see how long it would hold its edge. The one knife past the test w/flying colors, only having to sharpen once every 6 or 7 uses. So, I decided to purchase the complete set. I've had the set now for about a month, and I'm here to tell you that I've had to sharpen each and every knife EVERY TIME before I use them. The knives work wonderfully, when they are sharpened, but they DO NOT hold the edge for more than a single use. Needless to say, I am disappointed. The set is very attractive and it will look great on your counter, but be prepared to sharpen, sharpen, sharpen...
