These are forged and not stamped, so I'd say they're the better of the lower quality line-up. At $80 for 7 knives you can't be expecting handcrafted Damascus steel from Japan.

I'd say it's a decent starter set if you're still cutting raw meat with a stolen steak knife from the campus cafeteria

This is a lower quality line of their knives.

I appreciate the heads up, saves me from having to read more drivel from others that don't have any contribution to make regarding a purchasing decision.

Quote from Anthony2016

I have a mix of these knives and my higher end German & Japanese knives. I'm still grateful for having purchased these when I need a small boning knife or bread knife.
I maintain and sharpen them as I do my "good" knives and they are very good. For someone particular like me I can tell a difference, but to most people these will be a tremendous grade over the hodgepodge drawer of stamped IKEA knives.

Get a tool and put it to work.

I have a very eclectic mix of knives and it's no small source of consternation that my go-tos are often older knives I picked up in thrift stores and rarely the BD1Ns, Wusthofs, etc. My current favorite is a half-tang molybdenum slicing knife I bought for a buck that if I recall correctly people sold from the trunks of their cars back in the 1980s.

Fwiw if you look in any restaurant kitchen you'll see stamped knives (e.g. Victorinox Fibrox) because they're cheap, reliable, and low maintenance. You don't want to be out $250 on a high carbon forged knife that gets "lost" at the sharpeners' (unless you really need it for something like sashimi). All that to say: these knives are plenty high quality for anything you'll do in the kitchen.

As a home cook I learned to use Chinese knives. I only have three main knives: vegetable cleaver, meat&bone cleaver and a 7" chef knife.

I saw this on store with a funny print that says "responsibly made in China". You can't even make up that phrase. I was so grinning ear to ear on reading it.

Get carbon steel. My Chicago Cutlery set is almost 47 years old.

It is sad when good mfgs think they need to compete on low cost. It destroys the brand.

These knives might not be the best knives from Henckles but we have to consider the audience. The vast majority of the people out there are not skilled with cooking and even less skilled with properly using knives. Why would those such people need expensive top of the line knives? Even this one is beyond what they can manage.

Black Friday is half a year away. It's coming, but it isn't anywhere close. You might as well say "Black Friday is coming" in December and wait a whole year for it. Wait, maybe you do.

Are these the sort of knives iron chefs use?

where are you storing them now? in your special 3d printed knife block?

Sounds like someone had a bad experience with 3d printers and has never forgiven it since then...

Quote from xninjagrrl

I don't get these blocks that don't contain steak knives. Where are people storing their steak knives? For some reason these get put on display but steak knives get relegated to a drawer? I use a magnetic holder so everything is just there and easy to grab.

I'm vegetarian. No interest in steak knives. We specifically got the Elan set because those extra knives never get used in our family
