Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pinzon 8-Piece Stainless-Steel Steak Knives in Wooden Gift Box
Customer Review: Light & inexpensive
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered these because they looked like a great deal ($20 for 8 knives) & they received good customer reviews. However, I am disappointed, but shouldn't be now that I look at this objectively. The case is beautiful, slim & flat. However, the knives are very lightweight & feel somewhat cheap. They are made in China & that's what they feel like. The look is nice, but they don't feel quite right in my hand. The edge has huge serrations which make me think they could rip a piece of meat apart rather than slice through it--I could be wrong on that guess. But I am not going to use these to find out. I will donate them to a charity auction & open the box of Henckel Eversharp steak knives that I bought 8 months ago & never used because I was thinking I would not like them (These Pinzon knives were to replace those). AFter comparing the 2 sets side by side, the Henckels easily win in weight & feel. I only paid $10 more for the Henckels so suddenly they look like a bargain, especially when I compare their retail price or $130 to the retail price of these at $46. I guess retail prices might be a better indicator of quality than I sometimes give them credit for. All in all, these knives might not be that bad, but "China" is imprinted in big letters at the base of the blade & that's the quality I'm reminded of everytime I pick them up.
Description of Pinzon 8-Piece Stainless-Steel Steak Knives in Wooden Gift Box
Add a stylish accent to dinner parties with this affordably priced set of 8 stainless steel steak knives, which comes with an attractive black gift box--perfect for table presentation. They feature a sleek, one-piece construction that's both stylish and practical, and there's no attached wooden handle to wiggle loose. The serrated edge never needs sharpening, and it will ably handle both the juiciest steaks and the most tender tomatoes. They're stamped rather than forged, and made from somewhat thinner metal.Gorgeously shiny, these corrosion-resistant knives are made from 18/10 stainless steel. The "18/10" designation refers to the proportion of chromium to nickel found in the stainless steel alloy. The 18 percent chromium enables the steel to form an invisible layer of oxide that protects it against corrosion, while the 10 percent nickel gives the knives the classic silvery sheen.
The black wooden gift box features individual slots for each of the knives and includes a silver latched closure.
