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
Small Knives I have a large set w block of Chicago knives. They are good quality and have lasted for many years. This is a small block with a bunch of small knives. They all have their uses and I am getting a lot of use from these knives. I got them for a steal in a goldbox offer, or I probably wouldnt have bothered. but I use them frequently and am satisfied.
Very basic, but they work. For Cutlery purposes, Chicago is now found in mainland China. For what they cost ($20 Gold Box) they're great. I think they're going to give my made-in-Chicago brand Chicago knives a run for the money!
Not that great I bought these knives for $20 when they were on the Gold Box sale (at Amazon). I have purchased Chicago Cutlery's "Walnut Traditions" knives in the past and found them to be of decent quality. These knives are of substantially lower quality than the old "Walnut Traditions" knives. While $20 is not a bad price for a complete set of knives, I wouldn't be happy if I had paid more. The steel is much flimsier (is that a word?) and the handles are not as nice as the old version. The wooden storage block seemed... more info
Handles are junk, split and 'threading' slivers of wood Junk. I was amazed, as I have a GREAT set of Chicago Cutlery (440A Fine series). You just cant make them better than that set...but they proved they can do the opposite. This isnt even good as a starter set, as you're never going to use them without kevlar gloves, unless you like splinters and cutting yourself from using more force to slice from the dull unsharpable blades.
