BRODARK Kitchen Knife Set: Full Tang 15 Pcs Professional Chef Knife Set with Sharpener, Razor-sharp Knives Set for Kitchen, German Stainless Steel Knife Block Set, Gift Box for Men Women

I never thought a knife set would make me happy, but this one does. I cannot stress enough how high quality this set is and how it has surpassed my expectations from the moment I took it out of the box. One of the best things I’ve ever bought off Amazon. The knife block is gorgeous and heavier because it’s substantial. The knives are just the right weight, balanced, sharp, feel good in your hand, and are easy to use. Everything about them screams quality. It’s an extremely good value for the money. Super impressed and I highly recommend.

I have had these knives for almost 18 months now and they have held up great Edge retention is fantastic, and as long as you treat them right and don't leave dried tomato sauce on them for 5 days, no rust to speak of or even any discoloring! The build is fantastic and they are well balanced. I still can't believe I got this set for the price I did.I have a collection of pocket knives, I own Japanese wet stones to sharpen and understand what 8cr13mov, s30V and 14c28n is in knife production. (It's metal alloys BTW.) Having said that, I was a bit picky in finding a knife set that was quality built, had good steel and didn't cost $800.I honestly don't know how they are producing this set and not losing their shirts. Full tang design (One piece of steel from tip through the handle to the butt), and has nice glass fiber reinforced polymer handle material. I can't find any reference to this set in particular for what steel is used, but based on using various steel through the years I have a pretty good idea what this probably is. (BTW, I hate to break to you. At this price, it's absolutely NOT German steel...and that's okay anyway.)Brodark references Japanese VG10 steel with their other stand alone chef knives. It is common in the Chinese knife industry to copy an alloy alloy and call it by it's original name. It's NOT Japanese steel. What is commonly referred to as VG10 is 10cr15mov or 8cr15mov. Both are fine steel to use for a "general purpose" knife and perform similar to Japanese VG10, or even US made 440c stainless...perhaps even a little better than 440c.The steel in these knives is pretty dang hard, which makes me think it is 10cr15mov. The 10 is the Chromium content in the alloy. More chromium, more hard, more hard ='s more brittle. There is a balance of how hard without being brittle. Some knife makers use super hard steel to get a wicked sharp edge that holds for a while...buuuut then after a year of use you see all the chips along the edge or perhaps even a tip has snapped off. That's hard, brittle steel. You can't fix chips unless you grind them down and create a totally new edge on the knife and start over.These Brodark knives find a nice balance of hardness for edge retention but enough give to not chip or break off under general use. Like I said, almost 1.5 years of use and no chips, bends, or scratches.I still can't believe I paid around $50 for them. Incredible.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Loved the look of the whole set as well as the assortment of knives included. Excellent quality and I'm sure will serve me well for years. Very good price in Prime Days.

I have been looking for a good quality knife set, these knives are perfect very sharp though. They look great, very adorable and cut very excellent. They were a little pricing but well worth the money great quality set of knives.

Look nice, lots of knives that work excellent when they are used 10 times or less, but become dull with the use and they do not, as claimed, sharpen themselves. Still I like the handles feel comfortable to the hand, they feel durable and strong, but you need to sharpen themselves.

I absolutely love these knives! They are made with quality materials and feel nice in the hand (got just enough weight to them to feel nice). I love the variety of the knives too - the bread knife was a great addition to my kitchen! The sharpeners are a nice feature too. I’ve had them for at least 6 months and there’s no rust whatsoever! Just follow the washing instructions and these knives will last forever!

I enjoy cooking quite a bit and this is my first decent quality kitchen cutlery said that I've owned. I've had a couple others in the past and if its one thing I've learned over the years is that cheap knives simply don't last. I wasn't willing to settle for another cheap set that would dull on me or break in a matter of months or at most a year. I've must've spent hours looking at all the various kitchen cutlery sets on Amazon and this particular one was recommended to me as it fit the price I was willing to pay as well as the features I wanted like the knives being full tang. I received this set a few days later after ordering them and I could immediately tell this is a quality set. These knives have some heft to them which make food preparation easier. I can let the weight of the knife to the work rather than strain myself trying to cut through thick meats and process several pounds of vegetables. I love the fact there is a built in sharpener on the knife block as well. For a sub 100 dollar set, this is good stuff! Thanks Brodark!

We ordered and love the BRODARK Kitchen Knife Set with Block, Full Tang 15 Pcs Professional Chef Knife Set with Knife Sharpener, Food Grade German Stainless Steel Knife Block Set Steel-king Series. This set is one of the best purchases we've ever made.We purchased 4 other brand sets and sent them back due to poor quality, etc. One set cost $299 and was not as sharp or solid as the Brodark, and had straight uncomfortable handles. Our new set is sharp, well-balanced, and the handles have a solid, comfortable feel and look great. The quality block looks very nice and has a sharpener to boot. The blades after washing look fantastic. For under $100 this is stupendous value and product (regardless of price). One set we ordered was from the famous German brand and it had knives missing and the steak knives had tiny handles; we sent it back.
