 "Good but for the steak-knives." 2008-12-25
By Gerald Love (Tampa)
"21 pieces" is a block of wood, a fork, a pair of scissors, a sharpener, eight steak knives, and nine actual kitchen knives.



Starting with those nine knives: they are reasonably typical in design with comfortable, well-shaped handles and convienent labels on the pommel. They cut well out of the box (not as good as my Shun's, but far less expensive as well), and I highly recommend them at this point in the market segment.



If you don't spend a lot of time prepping, but have money enough that you want to get a "good set", or if you need great knives but cannot afford a good Wustof or Shun line, then these may be excellent. In my case, I've used them to make sure I have a full set of knives and then added my couple of most-used knives (chef, steak, slicer) from higher-end.



Where I actually find fault, however, is with the steak-knives in this set. Firstly: they are stamped, not forged; and are a bit small-handeled for my taste as well. Worst of all, they have decided to put deep serration (I'd really say they look more like tines) along the leading half of what is the cutting surface. In a meat like pork, they tend to tear some off and hold on to it.



In summary: great kitchen knives pared with sub-par steak knives. Buy the kitchen-knife set and then get a decent set of steak knives seperately.

 "Nice but not the best quality" 2008-10-05
By Wookiee (USA NEW YORK)
They are sharp and feel good in the hand but they are not made of the good stainless steel. They are made of "stain resistant" steel which can rust. Ours has some rust stain spots on them already because we did not dry them off well after washing. The quality is not the greatest either, our 8 inch slicer was slightly curved when new. Other than that, for the price you get alot of knives and they are sharp and work well.

I do not regret buying them. It was a good deal.

 "Great set, everything that you would need!" 2008-03-06
By Lionhog (Orange County, CA)
After researching knives for a while, I chose this set. For the price, and all that you get, who could ask for anything more! The weight and balance of these knives is great. They are very sharp to start out with, and have maintained a nice edge. If you are looking for a great set that will not set you back $500-$1000 or more, this is the one. To be sure that any knife will work for you, go to a store and hold different makes and models. If the knife is not comfortable in your hands, you won't use it. As I said, these knives are great for me! My favorite is the 8" Chef's knife.



Now to the negative...

The block takes up alot of counter space, so you may consider the 17 piece set if space is an issue. They are made in China, but they are forged from German high carbon no stain steel. The steak knives that come with the set are just okay, but the set is complete and I don't need anything else.



I would recomend these to anyone looking for a new cutlery set! Enjoy...

 "Great set of Cutlery" 2008-01-04
By D. Ferrell (Streetsboro, OH USA)
This is a great set of cutlery. My wife and I use something out of this set on a daily basis. We had one of the 7 inch Santoku knives to begin with and bought the whole set we liked it so much.

 "Great look and feel, but disappointed" 2010-03-21
By T. Malia (Upstate NY)
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.

 "Excellent Knives!" 2010-01-07
By T. Cicchelli
Love these knives! I have bought them for a few family memebers and everyone loves them!

 "They Rust in the Dishwasher" 2009-10-26
By K. Dougherty (California)
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.

 "Can't Complain" 2009-05-24
By J. S. Johnson
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.

 "Like it, but a bit disappointed" 2009-04-03
By J. Watler (FL, USA)
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...

 "Great Knives" 2008-12-28
By LRHouston (Ohio)
I am not a professional chef, but I do cook on a regular basis. These knives hold their edge quite well, and with a few swipes down the included steel, the edge is back to razor sharp. My sister recently purchased a set of Cutco knives, and spent CONSIDERABLY more on them, and I would choose the Calphalon knives every time.

I bought this set at $39.99 as a gift to my friend. This knives set IS NOT made in Germany and NOT with lifetime warranty. It is made in China and with 10-years warranty. The knives were sharp but handles of the smaller knives may be too narrow to hold. No feedback from my friend yet...

 "Good but for the steak-knives." 2008-12-25
By Gerald Love (Tampa)
"21 pieces" is a block of wood, a fork, a pair of scissors, a sharpener, eight steak knives, and nine actual kitchen knives.



Starting with those nine knives: they are reasonably typical in design with comfortable, well-shaped handles and convienent labels on the pommel. They cut well out of the box (not as good as my Shun's, but far less expensive as well), and I highly recommend them at this point in the market segment.



If you don't spend a lot of time prepping, but have money enough that you want to get a "good set", or if you need great knives but cannot afford a good Wustof or Shun line, then these may be excellent. In my case, I've used them to make sure I have a full set of knives and then added my couple of most-used knives (chef, steak, slicer) from higher-end.



Where I actually find fault, however, is with the steak-knives in this set. Firstly: they are stamped, not forged; and are a bit small-handeled for my taste as well. Worst of all, they have decided to put deep serration (I'd really say they look more like tines) along the leading half of what is the cutting surface. In a meat like pork, they tend to tear some off and hold on to it.



In summary: great kitchen knives pared with sub-par steak knives. Buy the kitchen-knife set and then get a decent set of steak knives seperately.

By Wookiee (USA NEW YORK)
They are sharp and feel good in the hand but they are not made of the good stainless steel. They are made of "stain resistant" steel which can rust. Ours has some rust stain spots on them already because we did not dry them off well after washing. The quality is not the greatest either, our 8 inch slicer was slightly curved when new. Other than that, for the price you get alot of knives and they are sharp and work well.

I do not regret buying them. It was a good deal.

 "Great set, everything that you would need!" 2008-03-06
By Lionhog (Orange County, CA)
After researching knives for a while, I chose this set. For the price, and all that you get, who could ask for anything more! The weight and balance of these knives is great. They are very sharp to start out with, and have maintained a nice edge. If you are looking for a great set that will not set you back $500-$1000 or more, this is the one. To be sure that any knife will work for you, go to a store and hold different makes and models. If the knife is not comfortable in your hands, you won't use it. As I said, these knives are great for me! My favorite is the 8" Chef's knife.



Now to the negative...

The block takes up alot of counter space, so you may consider the 17 piece set if space is an issue. They are made in China, but they are forged from German high carbon no stain steel. The steak knives that come with the set are just okay, but the set is complete and I don't need anything else.



I would recomend these to anyone looking for a new cutlery set! Enjoy...

By D. Ferrell (Streetsboro, OH USA)
This is a great set of cutlery. My wife and I use something out of this set on a daily basis. We had one of the 7 inch Santoku knives to begin with and bought the whole set we liked it so much.
