Great knives that won't break the bank April 3, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I've had Chicago Cutlery walnut tradition knives for 10 years. They are not what you would call "status knives"...but then, I am not out to impress anyone with my kitchen utensils. These are very functional, very sharp, and take an edge well. I use the steel frequently, and occasionally a sharpening stone, and this works very well for me. As a test, I usually go by Julia Child's advice that the weight of the knife itself (with no pressure) should cut through the skin of a tomato when drawn over it. These knives always pass the test (after using the steel, that is).

I have considered purchasing more expensive knives for comparison, or just for the heck of it, but I just can't bring myself to do it...these work so well. I cook a lot, and they have been used extensively. Yes, they have been put in the dishwasher (horrors!) but it hasn't killed them (just lightened the wood). I do oil the handles occasionally when I think about it, though.

All in all, a good value, a knife you can sharpen easily that works great...what more do you need?

A good selection/variety of knives of good quality. Handles are not terribly smooth (sanded!), but not to the extent that they cause a problem when they are held.

This is an excellent excellent product. I have been using Chicago Cutlery for many years and decided to give them as a gift this Christmas to my oldest daughter. She is delighted with the knives and expects to receive as many years use as I already have. Proper care for any knife is extremely important and if you desire for your knives to last a lifetime then you must care for them properly. Do not put them in a dishwasher and keep them sharp.

Review of Chicago Cultery Tradition 10-Piece Block set January 10, 2007

This product purchased as a XMas gift. The recipient used it on Xmas day and just loved it. Their previous set came from a "box Store" and would not hold an edge. As usual the Amaxon web site was user friendly and delivery was timely

I purchased my set to replace a mixed mess of plastic handled serrated blades and some old Chicago's that I had mooched from my parents 20 years ago. Of the two types, I much prefer the straight blade, and to sharpen them myself. Despite what another review suggests, this is very easy to learn to do even for "people like us". My old Chicago's are still in good condition ever after repeated trips through the dishwasher (this set will stay out however), even the walnut is only slightly faded. Consider buying a sharpening stone which allows you to put a finer edge on them than the steel, and sharpen less often.
