AmazonBasics Premium Stainless Steel Knife Set with Block, 9-Pieces (8 Knives and 1 Wooden Block), Black

Coming to the product itself , I have used it for about an year by now , and yes the knife set is pretty good specially the chef's knife and honing rod( it's very handy to have around), there were time where it was subjected to a rough handling session, but the knifes were sturdy including the box there was no damage .Getting into more detail , I can tell it was heat tempered on the Rockwell scale around 58 or less , the steel is soft and tough , so the edge retention is little low u will have to use honing rod before every cooking session , and put it on grit every month or so . And the knife can get pretty sharp ( depending on the user ) .

One phrase: it's good. Been using it for the past 2 years or so!!This is your standard set of required kitchen knives. But you have to sharpen it at least once every 3 months with a stone sharpener. Then you can straighten the edge every time you use it with the given tool and get a pocket sharpener too. It'll be helpful when dealing with surprise ingredients not cutting properly like stone apple or squash.The only complaint is that the food, whatever I cut, fruits, veggies, herbs, cheese and butter, It STICKS to the knife every single time. So, the only solution is to have it polished by a professional. Unfortunately, I don't have someone like that near me. So, I got stuck with it.So, my request to the seller: Please have it polished and smoothen so that the food doesn't stick.

I was in the market for a new set of knives because my old set, a long ago gift from my parents, was serrated. I have also had some "fancier" knives over time as well including a Victorinox 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.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.

This is one of the best knife sets you can buy on a budget. Love using the paring knife, the bread knife, the santoku and the chef's knife. The blades are sharp and the block sits pretty on the counter. I used to hate food prep but thanks to this and a heavy duty wooden chopping board, I have started enjoying the process so so much. Great product from Amazon Basics!

It has been a few days I have been using it so consider this an interim review.The product is good -Weight on the knives is good, not too bulky. Used the chef's knife, santoku and pairing knife. All felt good.The feel of the knives is ergonomic and handy.The bolster is definitely a good addition. Knives in this segment hardly have bolsters, so this one scores a lot of points on that front.Overall a good set at an extremely affordable price. Will recommend to all beginners before plunging into wustoff or shen.

Very sharp

The metal used is flimsy and can easily bent or the edge broken.So yeah, if you are a master chef , it’s not worth it.

I am using for 5 years still good no rust or anything.

- Entrega: En tiempo, Amazon Prime (No hay falla).- Empaque y embalaje:*Empaque... Excelente, sobre todo teniendo en consideración el tipo de producto. Empaque bien sellado. *Embalaje... El embalaje de uno de los cuchillos venia suelto (está en las fotos), sin embargo, no afectó en lo absoluto, supongo que es normal debido al movimiento que puede tener el producto dentro del empaque.- Producto: Buenísimo por el precio y muy buen diseño! Tienen muchísimo filo (tengan cuidado al lavarlos).* Material... Excelente calidad.* Peso... Muy buen peso. No son ligeros ni pesados en exceso... Se sienten de buena calidad y el peso ayuda a la buena manipulación.* Agarre: Bueno y cómodo.* Base: Funcional y de buena calidad.- CONCLUSIÓN: Muy buen producto por el precio (los compre durante Prime Day con muy buen descuento). Sin duda lo volvería a comprar incluso a precio regular.

Der Amazon Basics Premium Messerblock, 9-teiliges Set, ist eine großartige Wahl für alle, die eine praktische und vielseitige Lösung für ihre Küche suchen. In dieser Rezension möchte ich meine Erfahrungen mit diesem Messerblock teilen.Der erste Eindruck des Messerblocks ist sehr positiv. Er ist aus hochwertigem Holz gefertigt und verleiht der Küche einen eleganten und modernen Touch. Der Messerblock bietet Platz für neun verschiedene Messer, darunter ein Kochmesser, ein Brotmesser, ein Schälmesser, ein Ausbeinmesser und mehr. Diese Auswahl deckt die meisten grundlegenden Schneidebedürfnisse in der Küche ab.Die Messer selbst sind von guter Qualität. Die Klingen bestehen aus rostfreiem Stahl und sind scharf und langlebig. Sie behalten ihre Schärfe auch bei regelmäßigem Gebrauch und sind einfach zu schärfen. Die Griffe liegen gut in der Hand und sorgen für eine angenehme und sichere Handhabung.Ein weiterer Vorteil dieses Messerblocks ist die praktische Aufbewahrung. Die Messer sind sicher im Block verstaut und immer griffbereit. Dies spart Platz auf der Arbeitsfläche und verhindert das Herumliegen von scharfen Messern in der Schublade.Der Messerblock ist auch leicht zu reinigen. Es genügt, ihn ab und zu mit einem feuchten Tuch abzuwischen, um ihn sauber und gepflegt zu halten.Als möglichen Nachteil könnte man die begrenzte Auswahl an Messern anführen. Für manche Küchenaufgaben wie zum Beispiel das Filetieren von Fisch oder das Zerlegen von Geflügel könnte das Set nicht ausreichend sein. In diesem Fall müsste man zusätzliche Messer erwerben.Alles in allem ist der Amazon Basics Premium Messerblock, 9-teiliges Set, eine empfehlenswerte Wahl für alle, die eine praktische und qualitativ hochwertige Lösung für ihre Küche suchen. Er bietet eine gute Auswahl an Messern, die gut in der Hand liegen und scharf sind. Der Messerblock selbst ist ansprechend gestaltet und sorgt für eine aufgeräumte und sichere Aufbewahrung der Messer.

What most folks don't pay attention to is the "country of origin" in the description. China, China China. If you buy Henkel's most affordable model of knife, you're getting a stainless steel knife made in China. These are made in China... and you can be CERTAIN that this same factory makes knives for "high end" brands too. On first examination the block is nicely done, the quality of the block and the knives appears to be just as good as my Chinese made Henkel's. Is the stainless steel as good as the Henkel's??? I don't know, time will tell, but these appear to be good enough... surprisingly nice actually! Nice enough that I'm moving my dull Henkel's to the camper and keeping these new Amazon Basics in my kitchen. They even stamped Amazon Basics on the back of the block so you don't have to bow your head in shame! Hilarious! Don't be fooled by the well known names, their knives are made in China and are little better than these, probably made in the same factory. Considering the ridiculously low price I'd say just order the Amazon Basics. You can't lose. They're returnable! Sharp as hell and they look and feel pretty nice. If you need to impress your friends order the Henkel's, Sabetier or Caphalon set for $249. Same knives different logo. Very American.

Hat seinen Zweck trotz täglicher Benutzung sehr gut erfüllt. Muss man halt ab und zu nach schärfen, aber trotzdessen komplett in Ordnung für den Preis

Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis passt hier sehr gut für den Preis sind die sehr gutUnd wenn man sie ordentlich und sachgerechte reinigt bleiben sie auch lange scharf optisch macht der Messerblock ein soliden und optisch ansprechenden EindruckDas einzigste was mich wirklich stört ich das man die Messer waagerechte in den Messer Block schiebt also ein optischen MerkmalInsgesamt kann ich den messerblock wirklich weiterempfehlen
