Customer Review: Sharp and to the point
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I like these knives quite a lot. They are sharp, and they have an edge that is not only scalloped, but closely serrated as well, and so they promise to keep their edge for some years. They might as well, because there is no way on earth that I would know to sharpen them. They might be honed a bit on the lowest setting of the Chef's Choice sharpener, but not really re-sharpened. But anyway, they should be good for years at the table before descending into the household task category; their ends have points, and they cut meat very neatly and efficiently.
Whenever I get something that looks reasonably sturdy but says it should not be put in the dishwasher, my first response is, "Oh, yeah?" and into the dishwasher it goes. Some things really should be hand washed to preserve their appearance; don't use the dishwasher on your hard-anodized aluminum cookware unless you want to end up with an aluminum pot that looks exactly like an aluminum pot (still works, though). If you have any old carbon-steel knives, they will rust if they sit in the dishwasher, but the newer ones will survive unscathed. I do always put the good knives lying singly in the top rack, so they won't be jostled by the other cutlery, being harmed or doing harm.
These knives come out of the dishwasher in fine shape. I had a bit of water spotting, which alerted me to my being out of rinse agent, but the spots wiped right off with a damp paper towel; and with the rinse agent in place, they washed beautifully. I think that sometimes the manufacturers think that if they recommend hand washing, it makes the product sound more elegant and somehow precious and deserving of special care. Maybe things that must be carefully hand washed seem worthy of a higher price. To me, it only makes them seem like work.
The box the knives come in is neat and clean-looking; the set would make a wonderful and good-looking gift for anyone setting up a household. Just as an aside, I remember that when I was a child I was told by an ancient aunt of the lavender variety that one should never give knives as a gift without being paid for them--I believe that a nickel was the amount she recommended. She repeated a superstition that the knives would sunder the friendship otherwise. I pass this on as a bit of tradition that I have never observed, but who can tell when someone might find a bit of folklore a handy thing to know?
