Wenger Grand Maitre 4-Piece Cook's Set with Swiss Army Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very pleased with this knife set. They are scary sharp, comfortable and safe to grip, and hold an edge.
They are also a very good deal. They are nearly identical to the top rated R.H. Forschner/Victorinox knives, but the Wengers are much harder to find in the U.S. and only sell in sets.
In Europe, these same knives, with bright yellow handles are the top sellers to professional chefs under Wenger's SWIBO brand.
The 3 piece Wenger Grand Maitre and 3 Piece Forschner/Fibrox sets sell for $55-$60 on Amazon, so this 4 piece set with Swiss Army throw in is a deal.
On the down side - while they are tough, they are very light weight/not full tang/stamped not forged. These attributes will effect aesthetics, not use, safety, or reliability. They are not nearly as pretty as my Wusthof knives, and the free SA knife is a small but handy pocket type. The box they come in is not fancy.
Note that the bread and utility knife are both serrated, the paring and chef are smooth blades.
At well under $8 per knife, a full five stars.

Wolfgang Puck 17pc Carbon Steel Steak Knives Cutlery Set w/ Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got these for Christmas from my mom,after falling in love with her set. She got them at Sam's club. These are the best knives I've ever used! (And I've worked in many a professional kitchens plus my in-laws have a tendency to buy the best of everything-including kitchenware even tho they don't cook! haha) The block is very nice and well weighted. The knives all have great balance and a nice weight to them. I haven't cut myself (I'm a former girl scout & culinary student, so i've been threw tons of knife safety classes haha) but they are definitely sharp enough to do the job if one wasn't careful. I love how sturdy these knives are, no bending, curving or warping. I'm planning on buying Wolfgang's Santoku set to pair with this set, since it doesn't include Santoku's-this set's only downfall. Luckily, for the price, the other set is still well within budget! Love love love these knives! I fully recommend!

MAC MTH-80 8" Chef's Knife w/ Dimples Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I have been using Henkels knives for some time, but were looking to switch to Japanese steel knives for the superior hardness and sharpness of the blades. We were very drawn to Kershaw Shun for both the beautiful look (who doesn't like Damascus steel?) and strong reputation and reviews. That kind of ended when we actually picked them up. The several Shun knives we tried were just too heavy and large-handled for me and particularly my wife's hands. We took a look at Global and liked the sharpness, but they seemed a bit too light for our tastes, as well as seeming like they might get slippery when wet with the metal handle. I'd read good things about MAC, but didn't have a local dealer. On a trip to Chicago, we finally got a chance to handle these and found the weight and balance to be perfect for our hands. We bought a few and have been overwhelmingly happy with them. While they may be fairly utilitarian in appearance, they're perfect workhorses in the kitchen. In addition to the perfect handles for medium to smaller hands, the thinner Japanese steel cuts through tougher vegetables (potatoes, carrots, etc) with less resistance than thicker blades. They hold their edge incredibly well with only occasional ceramic steeling. I have taken the time to put them across a couple Norton Arkansas stones and have been able to bring out a new degree of sharpness that has increased our satisfaction even further. Highly highly recommended.

The Ultimate Edge Model 2001-12BN 12 Piece Knife Roll Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This holder for 12 knives does exactly what I want it to do. Safely transport very sharp knives back and forth to my church culinary chores without taking a chunk out of an unsuspecting colleague. I give it only four stars because it doesn't seem quite as good as some similar products I've seen on various Food Network documentaries, which seem to easily carry things which are a lot less flat than the average knife.
But, if the price is right and carrying knives is what you want, get this product, it is especially good at being stiff, avoiding the risk of pushing a sharp tip out at you at an awkward moment.

Zwillilng J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 8-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The balance on this knife is great. I use it for nearly every job. I had a cuisenart food processor and gave it away. I found I was faster with this knife, and there was less cleanup.
Previously I had a 10" chef's knife and its too long, the motion of picking up the heel of the blade meant I had to lift my arm too high. It just wasn't comfortable. The 6" seems too short, the 8" is just right.
You really only need about 3 knife styles, and this is one of them. (Bread knife, and paring knife are the other two.)

Global G-2 8-Inch 20cm Cook's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the first global knives I bought. I loved it the first time I held it in my hands. What impressed me most was the perfect balance, the lightweight, and the sharpness. However, what may be perfect for me may not be perfect for you. I'd recommend anyone who is shopping for cutlery to go to a store and try how the knife feels in your hands before buying. And if you can borrow from a friend to try, that's even better.
Having used this knife for several years now, my initial impressions haven't changed. This is still my favorite knife for most tasks. I maintain it regularly with a steel and it is as sharp as it ever was. I have found though that for certain tasks like cutting slits into an onion for dicing or cutting root vegetables, I do prefer a heavier knife (that's why I bought another forged global knife), but that is just personal preference. All in all, a great general purpose kitchen knife.

The first thing I sliced with this knife was a lemon and it was so accurate and effortless I loved it. The handle is very easy to grasp and non-slip. I liked the small chef's knife so much that I ordered the other three types (regular, large chef's knife, bread and paring knife. I am so pleased to see more products for people with disabilities.
