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.

I have a very similar set from like 20 years ago. Somehow I am missing a couple that were replaced with Calaphon brand, similar level- German steel made in China, pretty inexpensive. I do a lot of cooking, I would grab this set if it had a nice long slicing knife. Not sure what I should expect to gain exactly by spending 2x or 3x or more on a fancier knife set. Unless you put them in the dishwasher or do other really stupid things with these knives, they will likely work great for decades. I sharpen my knives 2-3 times a year on an electric sharpener and even after a few months of use I can still circumcise a gnat with them. All you knife snobs need to get a grip, I'm friends with one that laughs that I sharpen my own knives, even after seeing how well they work. Funny thing is I cook circles around him and his fancy knives.

Quote from ascotnot :
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.
Years back, I was in a Goodwill going through their knife bin, when someone from the store dropped a NEW Sabatier 8" chef's knife into it. At the time, this particular Goodwill sold all their knives for 25 cents. I also have a Cutco carving knife I use for bread that I wouldn't take $50 for, bought at another thrift shop.

I walked into the back area of a Deseret thrift store once and there was a man I didn't know pushing a cart who couldn't wait to show me the set of Cutcos, in the box and with block, that he just found for 12 bucks. After subtly biting off my lower lip, I congratulated him on his find. In a kind of resigned voice he told me his wife would probably want to keep them for herself, which made me feel better - not spitefully, but it seemed like the guy sounded like he needed a break in life and at least he got the rush of finding it.

If you're still looking for knife finds, happy hunting!

I'm always looking for quality stuff to upgrade existing equipment. I'll never get a deal like that Sabatier again, though. It was listed at $89 then, and that was probably 20 years ago. I've been able to find a few Cutco pieces individually, but I've never even seen a block of them. Thanks, and good luck to you, as well!

All this Cutco (as opposed to Costco) talk is giving me flashbacks to my first job, when I sold those knives as a teenager. laugh out loud

Quote from Actonsdictum :
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.

Or, to put it another way, why do you need expensive knives for every little thing you do? I have very $ knives but I still keep my old ginsu stamped serrated block on my counter. The only knives I use from it are the steak knives, and I chucked the rest out. But there are 9 of those steak knives and they are real useful for taking the core out of a strawberry, slicing a piece of butter, opening an avocado... Wipe rinse put in the drying rack. Unlike the high end knives which need more careful use. plus, serrated so Ive never sharpened any of them.

It's gonna be about the same. 440A steel. Easy to sharpen, very rust resistant, doesn't hold edge for long.

I personally prefer stamped knives. They tend to be thinner. The best cutters, the lightsabers, tend to be stamped (outside high end hand forged). I especially hate forged knives with full height bolsters, which this set doesn't have.

This set looks good for the price. I don't like hooked and weighted handle ends, but if you don't have a knife set, this looks like a good deal. You can expect the equivalent steel and build quality as any set under $300.

These are not high carbon right? I have a pair of tramontina knives that are high carbon German steel. Trying to understand if this set is similar or not as good as high carbon??

"High Carbon" is generally considered .55 or above carbon content. I'm guessing these knives are 440a, which are above .55.
