Solomon (5/5)

Very good set of

"Very good set of 12 knives really beautiful and have all needed knives !Straight from the box they are very sharp but i expect little bit sharper !About balance - i read somewhere they are very balanced but in reality they are not so balanced - yes they have good balance but not great !Knife holder from inside is very dirty all knives comes out white from dust and no idea i can wash it with water or not because i don't want damage it or paint !Overall look is very impressive and they are strong don't need worry about breaking knive when you cut something !About price for 12 knife set 600 pounds is a little bit too much if you look on all minuses what i call i think max price need be 500 !Can't give 5 stars because was too many minuses and giving 4 stars only because they are strong looks great and no need sharpening straight from box what saves my time !"

Reinis R. (4/5)

These look great and

"These look great and are sharp as hell. I have had numerous knife sets that were of higher dollar, but these are by far the best. I also purchased an additional steak knife set and 2 additional carving knives."

Tag C. (5/5)

Look wise the knives

"Look wise the knives look good. I opened them all up when I received them to wash and dry the. To my surprise I found one blade with about an inch of damage right in the middle of the blade. I also feel like the blades could be sharper for this price. Update the seller had reached out to me and were great at getting my issue dealt with."

Kyle (5/5)

We absolutely love these

"We absolutely love these knives! When we received them the block itself had a minor flaw and we emailed the company to ask for a replacement block, they couldn’t send us just a block but they offered a gift card for 20% of the cost of the entire set! There is nothing wrong with them just a cosmetic flaw but they wanted to make sure to make it right. They cut like butter, the grip is great! The customer service was absolutely amazing! We even bought some steak knife sets from them! Would highly recommend time and time again!"

Donald S. (5/5)

This is the best

"This is the best example of ""The Best for Your Buck"". If you purchase them separately, you would pay much more and everything you need is necessary in the kitchen. Thumbs up!!!"

BEST M. (5/5)

The wife and I

"The wife and I have used this knife block 2+ times per day since October 13, 2021 and the knives are still perfectly sharp and in perfect condition! The black DOES NOT wear off and the blades are razor-sharp! Plus the block looks original and awesome! Dalstrong has made a life-long customer out of me! Absolutely no regret with this purchase. I have 3 other individual Shadow Black Series Dalstrong knives that I've had longer than this block and they are still in amazing condition. This knife block is priced very reasonably for the quality you get! I waited so long to review this so I could give an honest rating, and I wish I could give more stars. Seriously, buy Dalstrong knives."

Gecko (5/5)

Best knife set ever.

"Best knife set ever. Handles fit in the hand like they belong there. Excellent balance. Easily sharp enough to do that paper thin tomato slice. Easy to clean."

JOSE M. (5/5)

Update: had an issue

"Update: had an issue and customer service quickly fixed the issue and went above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. THANK YOU!!!! Highly recommend to all!!!!Was really looking forward to get this knife set and already had plans to purchase additional knives, cleaver, etc. Unfortunately the block was damaged, scratched, and dented. I didn’t even bother to unwrap the knives as I knew I’d be returning the item. Already have a high end knife set, only wanted this one to match the black themed appliances it would sit next to."
