Victorinox Swiss Classic Kitchen Knife Set, Cooking Knives, Set of 5, Extra Sharp Blades, Swiss Made, Black

Great knives

These knives are great. Super sharp, easy to hold and lightweight. Recommend

Unlike many knives with plastic handles these will withstand many years of use and washing in the dishwasher. The tomato knife is particularly useful - great as a table knife for steak, slicing fruit and vegetables especially those with shiny skin, slicing small salami / chorizo etc thinly.

I was excited to buy my first ‘proper’ knife set. I’ve bought cheap sets before from various shops and supermarkets but they’ve been cheap & cheerful - doing the job but blades get rust spots and get blunt quickly, in some cases the blades loosen from the handles. etc.This Victorinox knife set arrived in a nice box. Not too flashy, but simple and functional.Getting the first knife out I realised how lightweight these knives are. Almost too lightweight, I thought. This is due to the simple black plastic handles. They’re easy to hold and the blades as extremely sharp - the precision is incredible, but the cost of these knives has been kept (fairly) low by the handles, which do - if I’m being completely honest - do feel a little cheap.I have zero complaints with all of the blades, the comfort in using them, the lightness of wielding the knives when chopping or cutting, and the fact that I have every knife here for any culinary whim I may have.. I only mention the slight grumble with the handles as it’s my honest viewpoint. It really is quite minor as they’re comfortable and light.For the price (£72 at time of review) you’re getting some seriously good quality, dishwasher safe blades from a reputable brand and they will last several years

Plastic handles are a bit cheap but other than that, these knives are awesome. They stay sharp for a decent length of time & it's easy to get the edge back when they've blunted off.Every kitchen should have a decent set of knives & these fit that bill

Sharp and comfortable to use

I’ve been using them for over a year now and love them. They’re super sharp and are easy to use. The only thing I don’t love is the small serrated knife which I don’t use but other than that, they’re great

Excellent value for money/highly recommend this set of knives
