KitchenAid KKFTR14SL Classic Forged 14-Piece Triple Rivet Cutlery Set

I don't usually write reviews, but I was so taken with this knife set that I felt compelled to share my thoughts. I had no knowledge of knives when I first married many years ago. The orange drink was the only Tang I had ever heard of. For many years, I was content with a cheap knife set that came with a wooden block. Then, as my passion for cooking grew, I wanted to invest in something nice, which for me meant purchasing high-end, full-tang German knives. (Not the Twins, mind you, but a similar-sounding brand. ) ) They were a huge letdown, not even close to the quality of my original made-in-China set. After that, I tried my luck with a luxury French-style hotel. Knives that rust if you look at them the wrong way Maybe they can tell your eyes are moist? My husband and I were both frustrated by the lack of a good knife set. I took a chance on these because I adore my KitchenAid mixer. They claimed to be dishwasher safe, so I gave them a try, even though I prefer hand washing, and they turned out beautifully, with the exception of one steak knife that rusted. The rust stains were nearly enough to earn the set a four-star rating, but I was able to easily remove them. (Do you hear me, French knife manufacturer?) ) I don't think the steak knives are up to par with the rest of the set, so I'll probably replace them with a set of six Henkel Twins in the future. However, they aren't bad. It's also worth noting that the set I received differed slightly from the one shown. I was concerned that the block would scratch, but it hasn't; it is beautiful and matches our granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. It came with a great little knife that is the most versatile of all and my favorite. I was determined to stick to my budget ($80 is a lot to me) and purchase a good set of knives for everyday use. I was blown away by how well they turned out. I'm a very satisfied client.

This knife set was purchased as a gift for a friend's bridal shower. I didn't think to check the quality by opening it. I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT. br>When she gets home and opens the gift, she notices that two knives are missing. She pulls out one of the larger knives, which has clearly seen action. I later discovered that not only had it been used, but it was also not a KitchenAid knife, as I pulled out another knife (an actual KitchenAid knife) that had fingerprints and gunk all over it. YUCK. br>I will say that I placed an order for a replacement and it arrived promptly. It also includes all of the necessary components. They're fresh off the press. br>I'm completely humiliated. aggravated It's completely absurd. Two thumbs down on this one.

These are fantastic knives. In the bamboo block, I found a 14-piece forged brushed stainless knife set. Twelve of the fourteen pieces are fantastic, one is awkward, and one is just odd. Let me explain: br>The bamboo block, as well as the built-in sharpener, are both attractive and sturdy. It's a nice touch, but it's unnecessary; however, form follows function, and they look good on display. The chef's knife is incredible. The forged blade has a nice balance and weight to it, and it easily slices through anything and everything, leaving you wanting more. br>The bread knife has a personality. I believe my phrasing was the reason it was flagged the last time I reviewed it. Let's just say you'll be able to make some delicious slices with it. br>The blade of the paring knife is quite long. I expected it to be awkward, but it's actually a lot of fun and does an excellent job peeling things. br>There's also the santoku, which is made of high-quality steel and yearns for a 2" NY Stripbr> It is a big hit with my wife. It offends me greatly. The handle is about 3/4 of an inch in diameter. Have you ever stepped inside a 3/4-scale room? It's quite a strange feeling. Perhaps you aren't aware of this. Imagine going to play tennis, but instead of a racket, you pull out a table tennis paddle from your bag. That's how I'm feeling about this santoku. Inappropriately small in the hand, making it difficult to use without slamming your knuckles against the cutting board. br>It's actually a good thing I had to edit it because I used to think the utility knife was garbage, but now I really like it. It's oddly shaped and serrated, but I find it to be comfortable and effective at cutting odds and ends. I've used this knife to cut up fruits, debone steaks, and slice hams. br>br>But, aside from the Santoku (which my wife and 13-year-old daughter both like), the other 13 items are a joy to use, and I would highly recommend this knife set.

Despite the fact that the photo shows them as being non-serrated, steak knives are serrated. serrated. It's a letdown. The smooth steak knives were one of the factors that influenced my decision to purchase this set. However, it isn't a significant enough issue to warrant returning them. Aside from that, the image quality appears to be satisfactory. There are no major issues to be found. They aren't razor-sharp, and they won't shave my arm, but they cut slightly squishy tomatoes well right out of the box with no touch-ups. Scissors have a better feel to them than I anticipated. Overall, the package meets my expectations for a $100 knife set. If anything important comes up, I'll update this review later.
