Chicago Cutlery Cabrera 12-Piece Knife Block Set
from: Chicago Cutlery
Amazon.com Review:
The Carbera line from Chicago Cutlery features traditional three-rivet styling, yet the handles are made of white polymer for a clean, bright, contemporary look. Even the slots in the hardwood storage block are lined with the white polymer, while the top is surfaced with stainless steel. A chrome bar supports the block in front. Each knife features a forged, high-carbon stainless-steel blade that has been honed with the company's exclusive Taper Grind technology for optimum sharpness. The full-tang construction adds weight and strength for good balance and stability.
Along with the hardwood block, this 12-piece set includes the following 11 utensils: four steak knives; 3-1/2-inch paring knife; 5-inch utility knife; 5-inch partoku; 7-inch santoku; 8-inch serrated bread knife; kitchen shears; and 8-inch sharpening steel. A partoku, for those unfamiliar with the term, is a combination paring knife and santoku, the Asian-style, thin-slicing chef's knife that has become a staple of American kitchens in recent years. Chicago Cutlery recommends hand-washing its knives, and covers them with a limited lifetime warranty. With the utensils placed in the block, the set measures 13 by 4-1/2 by 12 inches. --Ann Bieri

- Great knives
My wife talked me into getting these knives since I do all the cooking in the family.She wanted them because they looked better on our counters than my old set but they are the best set I have ever bought.Sharp edges, wonderful weight, easy to clean, and they do look good on the counter.

In the final analysis, my wife likes it and that is about all that really mattered to me on this purchase!

- Complete Set, but knife handles lacking
This block of knives is pretty complete.It has all the knives a typical kitchen would need.Notably, it has a 7" santoku and kitchen shears (scissors).The block is also a nice touch.However, the knife handles are a little too short to be holding it comfortably.The material of the plastic white handles have a brushed finish, rather than a polished finish--raising concerns of whether they can stay clean and white over the long run.It was recently on sale for a very low price of $20, so any ...
