Very nice knives for the price, with additional options in the same pattern!
Size: Steel King 15Pcs 10.4"×7"×15.4"
It’s been 10 months, so I feel like I can finally give a decent opinion on this knife set. First of all, I really appreciate how sharp they are out of the box. The set of different blade shapes suits my needs quite well, with the exception of the bread knife, which I swapped in the block for Brodark’s deboning knife. I also added their breaking butcher knife, cleaver, and brisket slicer to my collection, all which match the handle style for this set. (I really liked that I could get the same pattern for some additional blades to expand my kitchen set without getting a different pattern.)
The knives should never go through the dishwasher - I tested with one of the steak knives and water spots rusted lightly. I was able to buff the stains out, but the “high carbon stainless steel” is definitely as described. When used normally I do soap and water cleanup, dry, then back in the block without issues. I have honed the chef and slicing knives so they glide through food more easily, but they retain their edges well enough I haven’t needed to repeat the process in normal use.
The block is quite heavy and very durable, but still has a rather compact space use as it stands pretty close to vertical. I have mine pulled forward on the counter as our cabinets are rather low, and there is no hint of instability when drawing or resheathing blades. The finish is quite nice, and no need for touchups or worry about the blades wearing in the slots like softer wood blocks can have happen. All the blades fit well in their respective slots. You do need to grip the handles by the ends to draw some of the blades as there are a lot of tools in close proximity, and my fingers and hands are large.
I got my set last Black Friday. With the prices and discounts that keep popping up, you could still get a pretty good price most of the year. If you want the option for additional knives of similar handle pattern, do a quick Amazon search for ‘Brodark knife’ and check their options. There have been a lot of good spot sales lately!
