G29RD- Professional Kitchen Knives Custom Made Damascus Steel 8 pcs of Utility Chef Knife Set with Chopper/Cleaver Pocket Case Roll Bag (Red)

My son in law and my husband are knife collectors, that especially love Damascus. My husband, my son in law and our daughter are also hunters. So we wanted to get them this for field dressing in the future but also for them to choose one to cut their wedding cake because they wanted a unique damascus knife for the occasion. Since they had antlers in their flowers we thought this would be a nice touch.They rolled this set out on the wedding cake table. It looked beautiful and classy. The leather is nicely tooled and the tailored with care so it really added to the setting.All of their guests, including the ones that are knife collectors and hunters complimented how nice they are. That being said, several people cut a finger. They’re REALLY SHARP.They arrived really fast. They came in a thin, plain, regular box that worried us at first but when we pulled it out we were impressed. The knives were individually wrapped in plastic and - again - VERY SHARP! OUCH!We bought them in the summer but I waited to do this review because I wanted them to use them a few times first. They’ve used them in the kitchen, at the bbq and most importantly in the field.She said they love them because not only do they look nice but are good quality. This kit is their go to for knife set for most of their knife needs so they’re pleased to be able to hang them on a hook in the kitchen or in the truck, and it’s easy to wear when hiking, camping and hunting.I’d recommend them for yourself or for an affordable but impressive gift for a knife collector or hunter.

Read this before your write a bad review and embarrass yourself:Most the bad reviews I'm reading about these knives are written by people who rather don't know knives, don't understand Damascus steel protocol or think the instructions are completely ignored. These are not written out of boredom.Damascus steel is made from carbon steel wires grouped together and hammered out. These are NOT stainless steel and require maintenance and care. I have read several hitching about the outcome of putting in a dishwasher. You don't put ANY cutting knife in a dishwasher unless you like washing money. Stainless steel is just that. This is DAMASCUS steel, which means they musk be kept clean, dried and coated with edible oil, vegetable or olive.... If you get them wet longer than it takes to clean and dry them, THEY WILL RUST!!!!!! That's what carbon steel does. Stainless was made for convenience. Julia Child hated stainless steel. They have to be oiled after every wash. They need to be sharpened occasionally. Never in the dishwasher. These knives, people are handmade. Hand hammered.When you were planning your order, there WERE instructions in the description in bold letters telling you not to leave wet, not dishwasher safe and require maintenance. People complaining that they rusted really sound doltish. A children's, we learned to always follow the instructions. News flash: we still have to do that as big people!I'd like to close with this:

Very attractive leather case. The knives were absolutely gorgeous and exactly how they were described. The money spent was a great value! The quality of the knife was amazing.

Knives came sharp as could be! They seem to hold an edge pretty good and are sturdy for when chop through bones. Only thing is I wish the leather pouch was better quality. The fasteners seem hard to undo and will end up ripping out. Overall I like the knives and would recommend to anyone that likes to cook!

At the price point of these knives, I was not expecting Master Chief quality, but there are certain minimum standards that still need to be meet.1) Clean cutting edge with a constant sharping angle.2) Spine thickness (Needs to be thick enough to avoid the metal from twisting or bending)3) Weight4) Comfort in handWhile the pattern is constant across the knifes, the black etching is not. Goes from grey to black and no two knives match even closely. I will state that this could be due to the patterning in the metal and the way I see colors, but ...The biggest complaint is the knife's cutting edge. The angle that they were sharpened at is inconstant and at some spots the edge is blunt. Also, some of the knives have divots in the edge where too much material was taken away and there is a negative void in the cut of the knife cutting line.1) Sharping angle: Goes from 30 degree to 0 with no constancy between point and heel of the blade.2) Some of the knife’s edges have had too much grinded away to create a negative void in the knife’s cut.3) Some knives still have a burr on their points4) The knives look they are punched from a sheet and then sharpened.5) The spine is too thin, which would allow the knife to flex too much.6) Pairing size knives are a good weight, but large chief and Chopper are under weight. (personal option)This last point is focused on if and how well a knife can cut. Not even one of these knives could pass a simple paper cut test. While this test does not indicate how sharp a knife is, but it does test if the thing can cut and cut constantly and evenly. These failed across the board.Pros:Came nicely packages and the blades were heavily oils (aka no rust)Handles are awesome and love the three-contrasting wood they are made of.Handle size is also perfect for me (medium size hands - male), but large hands would have issues, since the pinkie and ring fingers would hang over butt.Brass Rivets are done neatly and each handle has enough to ensure the handle does not come loose.

These knives are amazing, way better than I expected and extremely sharp @

True quality, came well oiled, well packaged. Sharp enough for a surgeon. You won’t find a better knife for the money. Money well spent. Buy all of their things.

Got this set for my Dad this Christmas who absolutely loved them, everyone who was over was really impressed with them aswell!
