Buy Wilton 120-3314 Vintage Glamour Cake Knife and Server Set

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Not at all what it looks like in the photo. The handles are gold-ish glitter (more of a green tone) and very cheap looking. The tops are silver even though the photo makes it look like they are entirely gold. I had the impression that they were gold toned textured metal, not cheap acrylic glitter. Obviously the people before me didn't like them either because I was sent a box that had been hacked open with scissors.

Buy Victorinox Channel Knife, Wood Handle

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Best one out there!!

Ive tried them all including the $10 cheaper victorinox with the fibrox handle. This one hands down the best one out there!

I have owned my original one now over 10years and finally just donated it to the restaurant kitchen drawer and picked up a new one for the knife kit!

Buy Victorinox 40590 7-1/2" Blade Restaurant Cleaver w/ Fibrox Handle

CUSTOMER REVIEW



First, I am a huge fan of Victorinox knives. However, I am not sure about this knife to be honest. It makes an odd clicking sound if you move the blade left to right. I don't think the knife is seated into the handle correctly. Fortunately, Victorinox has a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects, so if it fails, I am pretty certain it is covered. Time will tell.

Buy Kotobuki Fruit Knife with Wood Cover, Brown

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Three years ago I bought this little Japanese gem in San Francisco for less than $8.00, and it is the pride of my small-kitchen-knife collection, and beats all European attempts at a knife this size. For an inexpensive knife it is impressively made. What is not advertized clearly is that this blade is a thin splinter of ultra hard carbon compounded steel sandwiched in flexible stainless outer layers, a feature usually costing much more. It was sharp out of the box, but still needs, as all knives do, honing with a ceramic stick after each use, to keep a razor edge. (BTW, those folks who boast that they go years without sharpening should learn to sharpen and hone knives, as you can keep it new-sharp that way, forever) If you have a hand lens you can check out the sandwich construction at the base of the blade where it goes into the handle. Edge retention and utility of this knife is superb ..... a total winner!

I believe the same knife is also sold as Suncraft brand.

Buy Wilton 120-1093 Modern Lace Cake Knife and Server Set

CUSTOMER REVIEW



This product is decent. I would not say great but I would not say horrible either. The knife and server have a nice weight to them but the design on the handle is not as pronounced as it appears in the photo on-line and almost appears a little chintzy. The price is cheap but just know that you will get what you pay for.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I purchased this very knife from a local Asian market b/c I wanted to see if I would like this kind of knife being I've never used one. It was 1/2 the price of Amazon's! It has a good weight to it and is very sharp! I plan to upgrade in the future, but for now this knife looks, feels and performs like a more expensive knife.

You get what you pay for.

I bought this, the cheapest one, for my home use.

The fine hone ceramic beagn to splinter when I used it.

Do not use the coarse on an ok knife, asit will ripple the blade, Maybe on a really dull knife.

It says it is good for 15 degree angle blade , and 22 degree, but I don't see the 15 angle and will not use my chefs knife with 15 angle until I am sure.

Any feedback on 15 degree angle?

This is a nice set of 4 ceramic knives and a peeler. They come in a nice holder that adds a bit of a cool design to your kitchen. the knives themselves are of good quality, very lightweight and sharp. Because the holder is made of plastic you want to make sure not to bend the arm that holds the peeler too far because that can break.



Pros:

-Sharpness: Ceramics are harder and won't need sharpening as often as a steel knife.

-No Rust/stains

-Lightweight

-Not Porous: Won't transfer tastes or odors from one food to another (i.e. onions or spicy foods). Also metal knives can alter the taste of acidic foods like lemons, a ceramic knife is non-reactive and will not alter the taste.

-Looks: Unlike your normal wooden block, this plastic holder actually looks nice in your kitchen



Cons:

-Unflexible/Brittle: The hardness of the knife has a catch! Can't use the knife to pry or wedge something. It is not flexible and will break. Can't use on hard cutting surfaces like granite or the knife may chip. You don't want to drop it or it can chip/break. You don't want to use these as a screwdriver!

-Can't sharpen on your own: while rarely needing to sharpen is a plus, if you ever do need to sharpen it you will have to find a professional with a diamond wheel



Overall its a good set of knives at a decent price. Many sets of ceramic knives sell for a much higher price than this. I received the product for the purpose of this review.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



This knife is really big. Excellent for chopping up a lot of stuff. Also, it's pretty sturdy. I've had it for a several months and it's holding it's edge nicely. It's a breeze to clean.

But like I said it's really big. I know it says ten inches, and you think, 'A ten inch knife.' But ten inches is how long the blade is, the handle adds another six or seven inches, at least.



And cheap-ish

CUSTOMER REVIEW



For home, these are way nicer than you'll find in most high end restaurants. They are very well finished, balanced, and cut through steaks with precision. If you've been to Outback Steakhouse, they are about 1/2 of the size and weight of their restaurant steak knives.



Look at the "Pro Series" of Wusthof knives for possibly the best deal in a matching, well-balanced set of cast knives. They've been the "house knives" in many restaurants and recently made available to home consumers. The handles are rubberized with safety grips. I bought nine different Pro Series knives with the classic steak knives and a 35-slot cherry Wusthof wood block. I couldn't be more pleased with the affordable combined quality. The 10 inch Wusthof ceramic "steels" work best for fine sharpening cast blades by using a 20 degree or less angle. That angle is about half or less of this large letter "V". It simply takes longer to sharpen forged blades.



The main difference in forged and cast is how long they hold an edge. It only takes 5-6 swipes on both sides to renew the factory edge to cast blades with the ceramic "steel". I figured if busy restaurant chefs can stop for a moment for a few sharpening swipes, I could live with it at home, and much better afford the bigger Wusthof set of the exact knives I preferred. The ceramic sharpener also looks and sounds cool in a home kitchen environment to guests. These are a huge improvement over most of my older Chicago Cutlery set that found a new home in my workshop. The other Chicago Cultery knives I kept in the kitchen fit very well into the Wusthof block.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Just received this knife and I love it. Fit and finish is fantastic. Cuts through vegetables like butter. Very sharp right out of the box. This knife would be over $200 if made in Germany or Japan. Made in Taiwan but excellent quality for the price. This will probably replace my Mack Santoku knife for cutting vegetable. Nice to be able to use the large blade for scooping vegetables into the bowl after cutting.
