8-Piece Knife Block Set

Found the perfect knife set. So happy with my purchase.

It is in the application that there were 8 pieces, and I only received 7 pieces of knives. Can anyone explain to me?

Great knives, shipped and received as expected

Very good

I bought this knife set back in 2010, and nearly 16 years later, it has lasted longer than my marriage. The knives still stayed sharp with just regular honing and never needed anything fancy to keep them performing well. The blades feel well balanced in the hand and are not overly thick, which is actually a plus in my opinion because the thinner blade profile makes piercing and slicing through food easier. At the same time, the blades do not feel flimsy or cheap. The handles are one of my favorite parts: comfortable, grippy, secure, and honestly unlike any other knife handle material I have wrapped my hand around. They give you a very confident grip, which is nice when you are chopping onions and trying not to add a fingertip to the recipe. After all these years, none of the knives have rusted, and they still have a mirror-like shine. That says a lot, especially for a set that has actually been used regularly and not just admired from a knife block like kitchen jewelry. Even the kitchen shears are high quality, which is not always the case with knife sets. Every piece feels useful, well-made, and built to last. Back in 2010, I paid $169 for my set. I see the price is now around $260, which is probably due to inflation, but after lasting all these years, I still think they are worth it despite the price increase. This has easily been one of the best kitchen investments I have made! No wonder so many professional chefs consider these knives their workhorse. They are durable, comfortable, reliable, well balanced, and still performing after years of regular use. Highly recommended. P.S. If the full set is outside your budget, I would at least get the chef’s knife, the paring knife, and a honing steel. That combination alone would cover a lot of everyday kitchen needs.

I am big fan Victorinox knives from last 10 years. This time I gave a shot with the wooden block and it was a worth taking risk. The finishing of the wooden block is perfect. The knives are very sharp and ready to use. I would highly recommend this product not only for the beginners but for the professionals as well. Victorinox never disappoints.

I bought these through the Amazon Ware House Deals and they looked new to me . The Block had two extra slots and I added a 7 inch Santoku, plus an 8 inch Butcher knife . This set has a 4-inch paring; 6-inch boning; 8-inch chefs'; 8-inch Serrated edge bread; 10-inch slicing rounded end ; 10-inch sharpening steel; kitchen shears; slant hardwood block . These are stamped blades and thinner than some . But due to the metal tempering methods they have a high Rockwell hardness rating and will cut as well as most forged blades while retaining sharpness . When the need to sharpen comes along if you haven't tried to cut nails, used one for a pry bar, or tried to cut a beef leg bone (they make cleavers for that), etc., generally a few strokes on the steel does the job . Word of advice don't use an electric sharpener on any knife unless it's cheap, poor steel, and one you want to throw away soon . There are carbide, and ceramic, hand held V notched sharpeners that are easy to use and don't ruin a blade or its' temper . Victorinox gives a guide for sharpening on a steel and it works pretty well . My wife and I both have been impressed and pleased with the long term use of Victorinox knives . We do hand wash them, but most knives should be washed that way . I base my review on use of these and the use of approx. 80 sheath type hunting knives I own and use on butching large game . Some are ground blades, high carbon forged steel, some stainless, some costing hundreds of dollars and all high Rockwell rated . Believe me I know good steel when I use it . These are excellent kitchen cutlery for a reasonable price . Is there better out there ? Perhaps but get ready to dig deep in your wallet or purse when you buy them and expect little difference for everyday general kitchen duty . ADDENDUM: Four years later wife and I still love these. Just read a test done with 8 top selling kitchen Chef knives . Although far cheaper, than any of the others in price, the Victorinox Chef knife out scored Wusthof and Cutco Chefs knives consistently in cutting . Only two VERY EXPENSIVE Japanese Knives beat it and the Victorinox Chef Knife was rated the best buy available . I have three expensive forged Chef knives and I agree with that test too. A thinner blade doesn't mean an inferior one. Tempering plus steel makes a blade and Victorinox has that right . Actually my favorite forged set is one made in France and has fairly thin blades . Just thought I'd share that.
