A great gift for the newlywed or college graduate setting up their first apartment, especially if they're lovers of steak or grilled meats, this 14-piece set contains the blades most commonly used in the everyday kitchen. It includes two three-inch paring knives for trimming, peeling, and dicing fruits and vegetables; a five-inch utility knife for cutting sandwiches and slicing meats; and a six-inch chef's knife for all-purpose tasks from mincing garlic to chopping vegetables and herbs. Rounding out the set are eight 4-1/2-inch steak knives, indispensable for slicing and properly presenting everyone's favorite cut of meat. Also included are an eight-inch sharpening steel and an attractive hardwood storage block to store and protect knives. Chicago Cutlery's Walnut Tradition line of cutlery combines high performance with excellent value. Stamped rather than forged for lighter weight and a more reasonable price, the blades are made from high-carbon, 420 stainless steel with carbon to keep edges sharper longer and chromium to resist rust and stains, while Chicago's exclusive Taper Grind edge produces impressively precise slices and retains its sharpness well over time. A full tang extends from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle for improved balance and strength. Comfortable walnut handles offer the rich warmth of wood and a classic look; they're securely held to the blade with triple-compression brass rivets for added safety and stability. Chicago Cutlery covers their knives with a lifetime guarantee; they recommend hand-washing and drying for best results. --Mary Park What's in the Box

 Once great Cutlery gone down hill July 7, 2008
The Wood (Arizona)
I am in the food industry and have some great "old" Chicago knives. Some of my knives are over 50 years old and still going strong. They have great blades that sharpen easily and wear well.
I bought a vacation home recently and one of the first thing I bought for the kitchen was this set of Chicago Cutlery. I was angry when I saw what Chicago Cutlery has done to the quality of their product. Poor grade thin steel blades that feel like toy knives with handles of cheap poor quality wood.
Stay away from these knives...do not reward them for destroying a great American Tradition.
They should be forced to give up the Name......

When I read reviews about being knives of low quality I was worried. However they seem to meet my expectations so far.
I'm not a cook, but for a regular kitchen this knife set are more than enough.

I'm normally good about reading descriptions... but somehow I missed that the large chef knife was just a litte biddy thing... Luckily for me, this happens to be my preference in knife sizes. The wood handles do need occasional oiling, no biggie there. I mainly bought the set for the 8 steak knives and am very pleased... and since was a sale item, it was defiantely cheap enough to be worth it.
