Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart 21-Piece Knife Set with Block and Bonus Poly Cutting Board
Customer Review: not such a slick deal after all...
Summary: 1 Stars
Just got item, two knives had cracked handles and no cutting board came with it. I called cuisinart and instead of just returning the two broken knives to them (they would charge me shipping both ways even defective) they said it was best to send back to amazon. It seems like a great set for the price assuming nothing is cracked out of the box so I will be getting a replacement set and we'll see how it goes. Based on other reviews it seems like a roll of the dice as to if your set will come in one piece.Customer Review: not worth the risk
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this set on the day after Thanksgiving sale for about 34 dollars. I wished I had read the review, but with the great price and a brand like Cuisinart I thought it was a good buy. But as other reviewers have said, this set is prone to cracks in the handles near the rivets and mine were no exceptions. I thought about keeping them since they were cheap, but decided it wasn't worth the risk and that the cracks would eventually become bad enough that the parts of the handle would would fall off.Customer Review: Cuisinart knife set
Summary: 4 Stars
The purpose of this review is to tell you that the knives are a good investment. When I bought them the reason was the color and the price reduction at Christmas, I like red. But when I started using them I found them to be sharp and able to keep an edge. The only drawback is that you cannot leave them in the sink damp they will stain and tarnish. This is the way with any good carbon steel knife. All in all I would buy another set when the price gets to the one that I bought at just for spares.Customer Review: Overall Poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed in these knives. While quite sharp, the steel was *very* thin. They don't have enough weight to be a good chopper, plus chopping anything makes me nervous that the blade will shatter. Every single one of them rusted after being run through the dishwasher. It did come right off with a couple swipes of an abrasive pad, but had I left the dishwasher full while on vacation I'd have had to use a lot more elbow grease. I would definitely not buy these knives a second time.Customer Review: Must have lucked out
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these knives without reading the reviews. I became concerned after reading them, second guessing myself for ordering what I expected to be rusty, defective knives.
What a great surprise when they came. They are the best knives I've owned and no problem with rust (my daughter even left a used knife in the sink overnight and it was as good as new - no rust)
With a name like Cuisanart, I figured it was worth the chance at $39.99 - glad I ordered them.
