[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this set as a gift and love it. I love that I never need to sharpen and they always stay sharp for all my culinary needs. I also love how professional and sleek they look in my kitchen, beautiful set!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like there’s knives. They came packaged nicely. We’ve only had them for a month. But they are nice and sharp. Love that they have the self sharpening base. The base is beautiful. I also think the black handles are really sharp looking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the variety in this set. Knives are sharp enough but my only concern was that Santoku blade started rusting after second use. I've only cleaned with hand wash only, so I can't speak to using the dishwasher with them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Block itself is nice looking and functional. The self sharpening system seems to be working as advertised to keep the knives razor sharp. This kit had an excellent selection of different knives as well. The knives themselves, though lighter and thinner than the professional models, are comfortable, stay sharp, and look nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could not be happier with our new 20 pc self-sharpening block set. Both the knives and block are of the highest quality with unparalleled performance in this price range. I recommend this set to everyone I know, both professional and home chefs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, this s a huge butcher block! It is pleasing to look at and the knives are super sharp. just have to remember to place knives in correct sharpener.Good product now, time will tell how this hold up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The block does pretty much exactly what you would expect. All of the straight blades have self sharpening slots, making them fantastic for easy food prep. The shears and serrated blades dont have this optio, and the block only fits on my counter the standard way because I have very deep counters. More shallow counters will require the block to be turned sideways. I've included a picture next to our old block for reference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking all over for a nice set of kitchen knives and found these at a local department store. They are of beautiful quality and extremely sharp. Although the block is larger than I expected, I understand it is necessary to contain the individual sharpening stones in lieu of a separate sharpener. I expect years of service out of this set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am blown away by these knives. I have been used to nearly ripping vegetables apart due to my full knives. Thankfully, due to a wedding registry, my knife set has been updated and everything cuts so smoothly. Who knew!?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the price that I paid this is a nice knife set. There is a Noritake difference in these knives and my other Henckels. You can definitely tell these are made in China. They are good and sharp, but just don't feel the same in your hand. I really like the self sharpening function. It's very handy to have that than having to dig around the junk drawer for the sharpener.
