 "Shapely and Sharp" 2010-04-12
By J. Vilches (Dallas, TX)
I've had a set of Chicago Cutlery steak knives for years, and while I was okay with them, I was also ready for something new. Something more modern looking. Something without a wooden handle.



I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a set of steak knives, but I did want a decent quality set. I started looking at all-metal sets, but the handles often looked too thin to hold comfortably. Then I found the Katana series. The shape was appealing. The price was on the high end for me, but not exorbitant. The smooth blade with the serrated tip intrigued me. (I know knife purists are gasping, but I just don't care - I want a decent knife that works not an heirloom.)



And the verdict after using them for a while? I like them quite a bit. They look great. They're sharp. The handle is a very comfortable shape - more rounded than I thought it would be from the picture. The polyresin gives a good grip even with wet hands. They seem to hold their edge well enough.



I know that good knives and dishwashers don't mix for a variety of reasons, but my one pie-in-the-sky wish is that I could throw them in the dishwasher (not at all recommended and will void the warranty). However, they do at least dry off better than wood-handled knives. I would consider buying other knives in this line.

By Laura A. (Los Angeles, CA USA)
This is a nice set of steak knives, the only little problem was that the box came damaged. Other then that everything else was great, the knives themselves came undamaged. Normally I wouldn't have paid that much attention to the box being damaged as long as the item or items are not damaged, but seeing how these Calphalon Katana set were purchased as gift, I would have been more than happy to give a five star rating. This is time I was lucky to receive undamaged items (in this case knives), but next time how knows, because damaged boxes usually mean that the product inside might be damaged. Overall a five star rating for the knives themselves, great set I would say.

 "The sharpest, coolest steak knives!" 2009-05-28
By Ernie L. Shown (San Antonio, TX)
These steak knives are fantastic...sharp, well-balanced, and they look great. They are the perfect compliment to the Calphalon Katana chef's knives. I only have one minor complaint -- they come in sets of 4. Four is not quite enough for entertaining at our house, and eight are too many. Still I highly recommend these knives!

 "Excellent knives" 2009-03-12
By A. Chadha
Wonderful set of knives. They are incredibly sharp (I've used them to carve uncooked meat during prep). Definately worth the price

 "Classy Clean and Contemporary" 2008-06-23
By C. A. Kluwe (Austin, TX)
I was a bit hesitant about buying these knives as I'd read from another site a person had problems with the knives rusting quickly (they noted it happened within an hour, not that they'd left the knives in the sink overnight). However, I have a contemporary styled set of Wusthof Grand Prix II knives and need non-traditional steak knives to match. One thing that allayed these fears was Amazon's return policy. Another thing was Calphalon's lifetime warranty. Thankfully, I have had to use neither.



The black you see on the handles is a polyresin that is actually quite comfortable. It imparts some warmth to the design and offers grip not seen in items like the Wüsthof 8-Piece Stainless-Steel Steak Knife Set with Wooden Gift Box. This also gives the handle some size and makes it less dainty -- enough that you would feel secure bearing down with the blade. The blade is also very hard and cuts through even tough meats like warm butter. I have not had to use the saw tip yet. Were it not for the light weight of the knives, I may have bought the kitchen knives as well for their style.



If you like light knives you will appreciate this set as well. The tang goes all the way through the handle but I would put the balance point more near the center. My only quibble with Calphalon (and the reason for only 4 stars) is why only 4 knives? I've noticed this with other manufacturers as well. 4 knives seems like too few while 8 knives seems like too many. I'm single so 4 knives suits my needs plenty, but occasionally will have 3-5 people over for dinner. Do I try not to serve anything that requires a serious knife? Cajole guests into sharing? Pop for the extra 4 and leave 6 or 7 knives languishing for the majority of the time? Help a guy out!

 "good knives for the money" 2010-06-04
By cheesekid
these are very good for the money 4.5 stars.



pros: good steel. thin blades, epoxy resin handles, balanced, stay sharp, they bend instead of breaking. they look good, they should last forever



cons: due to the type of steel that these are made of, they aren't rust proof, u must dry them after use. They are so sharp u must be extremely careful not to cut ur fingers off





I strop my knives with polishing compound, and if u do this too, you could split atoms with these knives; they stay razor sharp with stropping.

 "Excellent for Home Cooks" 2010-06-03
By B. W. Hall (Brooklyn, NY USA)
Disclaimer: I did not buy the actual set for sale, as I didn't want the block, but I purchased almost the entire set individually.



I am a professional chef, and I have to say that these are some of the most comfortable knives I have ever worked with. Comfort and balance are of utmost importance to professionals, and these knives deliver. I personally like the heft as well, and the perfect balance makes using the knife almost effortless. I purchased these as my professional set when I first started in kitchens, and they lasted me perfectly through the first few years. I have since started to invest in serious Japanese knives for my more precise tasks, but these are great all-around knives.



The only cons to these knives (from a professional standpoint) are as follows:



- The blades are very thick, making it difficult to slice certain ingredients neatly. They are particularly poor for cutting hard cheese unless you want it crumbled.



- Because of the blade shape (which is like a wedge), these knives struggle in fine-detail work. Mini brunoise is very difficult and slower than with some thinner knives, for example.



- The serration on the bread knife is EXTREMELY severe, and I have found it best suited to very hard, crusty breads, and entirely useless for soft loaves.



- Contrary to some other reviews, the shears do come apart. They take a small wrench to do this, and they loosen/tighten quite easily -- perhaps too easily, as they often get loose with regular usage.





I definitely recommend these to home cooks looking for a set of solid knives, but not so much for professional cooks, unless these cons are outweighed by the reasonable price tag.

 "awesome knives" 2010-04-25
By Armen Manougian (Rancho Cucamonga, CA)
got the 13 piece set from bed bath and beyond, turns out to be a really nice knife set cuts awesome especially after sharpening. can't imagine anyone complaining about a set for the cost. Best bang for the buck I ended up getting every single knife in this set. I'm not by all means a master chef but when it comes to getting the best for your money after 3 different knife sets I came to a conclusion as seeing these as the best for the money. Don't really need all the knives in the katana line up but when I saw the knives performance first hand I jumped online and bought every one! Don't be misled by any cons about these knives, you can't get more for the money!

 "Great knives, amazing feel" 2009-11-03
By Kevin 79 (Rochester, MN)
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.

 "A Steel!" 2009-10-19
By Joshua J. Ramsey (California)
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.

 "Katana Knives" 2010-03-03
By J. Slezak (Southeast Virginia)
I already own the 6" knife in this series and use it extensively. On some things it was just too cumbersome to use effectively so I bought this smaller combo. The knives come very sharp right out of the box and keep a nice edge. Sharpening is easy and the blades hone up beautifully. The style may not be for everyone but I like the ergonomics of the handle. The blade must be kept clean and dry as it will spot if any water is left to dry on it. I love these knives and believe they`re a great set for the household. I would definitely buy them again.

 "Great Knives!" 2008-02-19
By Grant Kumsomboone (Headland, AL)
My wife and I love these knives, the Katana's! We choose these over some of the other brand name knives. We like the weight and design. I'm a pincher when it comes to how I grip my knives and the rounded edges and extended bolster make it very comfortable. I would try these knives. Go some where and hold a Calphalon Katana knife. You will see a difference. Extremely sharp. I have the two piece East/West setCalphalon Katana Cutlery 2-Piece East/West Knife Set, the 7" SantukoCalphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 7-Inch Santoku Knife and the 7" slicerCalphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 7-Inch Slicer Knife. I will be getting the bread and serrated utlity knives also. I store mine on a magnet strip bought on Amazon, MIU Stainless-Steel 15-Inch Magnetic Knife Storage Bar. I'm not use to not having to pull out my steel every time. I hope this helps. GK

 "Cheapest of the Katanas. Same build quality." 2009-03-26
By Nash-O (Nashville, TN)
You can buy better knives, but Katanas are nice and balanced and hold an edge well. I really enjoy using them and this model is great for chopping veggies and as a general purpose knife. Mine was about $30 shipped.

 "best vegetable knife ever!" 2009-01-06
By Richard I. Sayers (Portland, OR USA)
I bought this knife recently and was surprised by what I got for [...] bucks. It is aesthetically pleasing (the wood grain pattern of the steel makes it look like a much more expensive knife), solidly made, and really really sharp, like, you can shave with it. The handle flares wide at the butt-end and flattens on top to accommodate the heel of your palm. Love the design, way beyond satisfied with the quality.

 "Dissapointed" 2008-11-29
By Bugs (Caracas, Venezuela)
I was pretty excited about getting this knife. I like the brand and I expected the best quality. It is good steel and well designed. It would be a very nice knife wxcept that the cutting edge is not straight. It is wavy which results in the edge not touching the cutting surface evenly. The knife must be drawn over the cutting surface to cut completly through the object being cut. Even though the knife is made in China, I expected better quality from Calphalon. When I registered this with the company I commented on this issue and received no response.

I only have one minor complaint -- they come in sets of 4. Four is not quite enough for entertaining at our house, and eight are too many. Still I highly recommend these knives!

Wonderful set of knives. They are incredibly sharp (I've used them to carve uncooked meat during prep). Definately worth the price

 "Classy Clean and Contemporary" 2008-06-23
By C. A. Kluwe (Austin, TX)
I was a bit hesitant about buying these knives as I'd read from another site a person had problems with the knives rusting quickly (they noted it happened within an hour, not that they'd left the knives in the sink overnight). However, I have a contemporary styled set of Wusthof Grand Prix II knives and need non-traditional steak knives to match. One thing that allayed these fears was Amazon's return policy. Another thing was Calphalon's lifetime warranty. Thankfully, I have had to use neither.



The black you see on the handles is a polyresin that is actually quite comfortable. It imparts some warmth to the design and offers grip not seen in items like the Wüsthof 8-Piece Stainless-Steel Steak Knife Set with Wooden Gift Box. This also gives the handle some size and makes it less dainty -- enough that you would feel secure bearing down with the blade. The blade is also very hard and cuts through even tough meats like warm butter. I have not had to use the saw tip yet. Were it not for the light weight of the knives, I may have bought the kitchen knives as well for their style.



If you like light knives you will appreciate this set as well. The tang goes all the way through the handle but I would put the balance point more near the center. My only quibble with Calphalon (and the reason for only 4 stars) is why only 4 knives? I've noticed this with other manufacturers as well. 4 knives seems like too few while 8 knives seems like too many. I'm single so 4 knives suits my needs plenty, but occasionally will have 3-5 people over for dinner. Do I try not to serve anything that requires a serious knife? Cajole guests into sharing? Pop for the extra 4 and leave 6 or 7 knives languishing for the majority of the time? Help a guy out!

 "Great knives, amazing feel" 2009-11-03
By Kevin 79 (Rochester, MN)
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.

 "A Steel!" 2009-10-19
By Joshua J. Ramsey (California)
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 knives!" 2009-10-09
By Mountain (Austin, TX)
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.

 "Terrific Knife Set" 2009-09-09
By J. Richards
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.

 "RUST, PITTING and CHIPPING WARNING!!!" 2009-01-12
By Driscoll Kent Bell (Venice, CA)
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.

 "Katana Knives" 2010-03-03
By J. Slezak (Southeast Virginia)
I already own the 6" knife in this series and use it extensively. On some things it was just too cumbersome to use effectively so I bought this smaller combo. The knives come very sharp right out of the box and keep a nice edge. Sharpening is easy and the blades hone up beautifully. The style may not be for everyone but I like the ergonomics of the handle. The blade must be kept clean and dry as it will spot if any water is left to dry on it. I love these knives and believe they`re a great set for the household. I would definitely buy them again.

 "Great Knives!" 2008-02-19
By Grant Kumsomboone (Headland, AL)
My wife and I love these knives, the Katana's! We choose these over some of the other brand name knives. We like the weight and design. I'm a pincher when it comes to how I grip my knives and the rounded edges and extended bolster make it very comfortable. I would try these knives. Go some where and hold a Calphalon Katana knife. You will see a difference. Extremely sharp. I have the two piece East/West setCalphalon Katana Cutlery 2-Piece East/West Knife Set, the 7" SantukoCalphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 7-Inch Santoku Knife and the 7" slicerCalphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 7-Inch Slicer Knife. I will be getting the bread and serrated utlity knives also. I store mine on a magnet strip bought on Amazon, MIU Stainless-Steel 15-Inch Magnetic Knife Storage Bar. I'm not use to not having to pull out my steel every time. I hope this helps. GK
