Toni SharpeToni Sharpe 16Pcs Kitchen Knife Set with Wooden Knife Block | Ultra Sharp Japanese Kitchen Knives (Silver, Pack of 16)

These definitely look great but almost as soon as I got them one of the knives started to rust on the blade which wasn’t really good at all.

I had been looking for a set of knives for a while to replace my existing set which was getting old and tired. I came across this set and really liked the look of it, also the price! During my search I found similar products but considerably more expensive so this seemed to tick the right boxes. I liked the look and brand so I thought I’d give it a try.It turned up promptly, as all amazon deliveries tend to. First impressions were very good. Nicely packaged and neatly designed box. The knives were well packaged, which is just as well as they are Very Sharp!The set has more or less every type of knife you might need in the kitchen, maybe a bit more than I would use. They are well made and well designed. I particularly like the one piece design aspect, which means they are easy to clean. I was pleasantly surprised with the serrated steak knives, I actually needed a set so that was convenient.The block is sturdy and functional and the knives sit well and secure in it. Little rubber feet at the bottom stop it from slipping around. All in all it’s a neat little set and at a very decent price.

These knives are quite sharp, and easy to handle, but when I put my dishes in to soak and went back to them the knives had bits of rust on them I had to scrub off! The rust left marks on the blades that did not come off. I'm seriously not happy with these. I would have liked to speak to the seller but no way to contact them

Probably every type of knife you will need! Good solid casting, not too heavy and not too light when using them, extremely sharp (I see some reviews going on about the sharpness not being so great, personally I think they are very sharp, there's a comment about the steak knives not being able to cut steaks, well perhaps it's not the knife but your steaks that are tough!!!)The one thing which brings the stars down slightly is they mark really easily with brown spots if left with water so I would recommend after using them wash and dry them instead of letting them sit, there's some reviews stating they stain easy like this when in the dishwasher but you shouldn't be putting stainless steel knives in a dishwasher anyway! Other than that they look nice, the block is well organised and they should last for years with proper use and care.

Just received this Knife and Block set. First impressions are that the knives are well balanced, light but strong, and with very sharp blades. The bread knife disappoints a little, in that it is only a 5” blade and will struggle with a decent size loaf. Having said that, it is good value for money. Only other criticism is, that they are advertised as Japanese who are renowned for quality knives, but it’s clearly stated on the excellent presentation box - Made in CHINA ! This is misleading and needs correcting.
