Excellent knife set! Quality

"Excellent knife set! Quality and craftsmanship are top notch. You can’t go wrong with Dalstrong knives."

John C. (5/5)

What a fantastic set.

"What a fantastic set. I've been wanting to get a new set and soon as I saw this go on special sale I acted quickly. VERY happy with the purchase along with the quality of the block and the angle for the knifes. This was my 3rd purchase and I'm not even done by a long shot. More to come."

Dave (5/5)

I have use Dalstrong

"I have use Dalstrong and I still have many knifes from them for work. It is a great brand. This set is amazing. Well packed, protected. This set is perfect for home use, would not recomend for work, for the house, yes, 100%Highly recomend. Get them, use them. Great brand, great set"

Sandra W. (5/5)

The media could not

"The media could not be loaded. Perfectly balanced, beautiful set of kitchen knives. These knives do not deserve dishwasher harsh treatment, hand wash with love! They feel great in my hand and very sharply cuts through anything in its path. I liked that this set came with six steak knives versus just four in many other sets. I think it's a great value for some top tier home chef knives."

Derek B. (5/5)

Had no idea what

"Had no idea what it felt like to have the knife do thr work for you. This block perfectly adds to what our collection was missing otherwise we would have gotten the 18 piece block. It looks amazing and the sharpness is unmatched. Cutting steak is like whipped butter. I cannot rave enough about these knives enough! Total game changer for all meal prep!"

Elena H. (5/5)

Only used them once

"Only used them once but so far very satisfied."
