Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-Piece Steak Knife Set with Box Review

I purchased these knives after having purchased and returned mundial steak knives that had great blades, but the black plastic handles faded after only one hand washing. These knives have serrated blades and are fine for cutting steak on a plate, and I don't think I would want steak knives to be any sharper than what these are, because if so, they would damage my dinner plates. You aren't supposed to wash them in the dishwasher, but I have several times now and they came through as good as new. The rose wood box is nothing special, but it's okay. Overall, for the price, I'm quite happy with these knives.

Chef's Choice Multi-Edge Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener Review

Chef's Choice Multi-Edge Diamond Hone Knife Sharpener

I got one of these recently, and put it to the ultimate test. I have an old "mixed" set of knives, which were dull beyond the ability of using the honing steel. At the time I got this sharpener, I also got a Brand New set of Sabatier Commercial knives, which had been hand sharpened from the factory.
The test was could I get the old knives to be as sharp as the brand new ones. The answer, No I couldn't. In a sense, this is unfair, since the old knives (with the exception of a Wustoff paring knife) are of lower quality. Further, the sharpener did restore the older knives to a very respectable edge. My old Hoffritz Chef's knife, for example was sharp enough to cut through a piece of paper held in one hand (a test recommended in the manual)with little effort. (The Sabatier Knife did this effortlessly).
One hint -- the manual says that a reasonably sharp knife can be sharpened in 20 or so strokes, while a dull knife might take 50. This, in my view understates the process. While my old knives were very dull, it took a couple of minutes per knife to get a good edge on them.
Overall, I recommend this product, for all but the best knives. I will probably have my Sabatier knives professionally sharpened, but will certainly use this for my second set of knives.

Totally Bamboo 20-7930 3-Piece Cutting Board Set Review

We bought these and were pretty excited to get them. We are always cutting fresh vegtables and fruit and ended using these daily for a few days. We loved the handles and strudiness. However, after washing them a few times, they began to crack and spilt. Then they even deformed so they didn't lay flat. We ended up having to return them. I do agree with another customer review that the smallest cutting board is too small to really do anything with also.

Enjoy a sense of preparedness in the kitchen with a handy set of 3 bamboo cutting boards measuring 6 by 8 inches, 8-1/2 by 11 inches and 9-1/2 by 13 inches. Each is 3/8 of an inch thick, making them maneuverable and easy to store. Constructed of strong, eco friendly bamboo, the boards feature a tri-ply, cross laminate construction with a specially formulated high temperature adhesive. Each piece is distinctively attractive, super strong, and totally "green." Bamboo is 16-percent harder than maple, is naturally anti-microbial, and eco friendly; it holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear cutting of old-growth forests. Totally Bamboo uses organically grown Moso bamboo, so there are no harmful pesticides or fertilizers associated with the product. Plus, this bamboo is not a food source, or a habitat, for the Giant Panda. Easy to maintain, the boards require simple washing with warm water. The occasional use of Totally Bamboo\'s Revitalizing Oil will extend the set's life and keep boards looking beautiful.
