Damascus Kitchen Knife Set, 15-Piece Kitchen Knife Set with Block, ABS Ergonomic Handle for Chef Knife Set and Serrated Steak Knives Knife Sharpener and Kitchen Shears, Beechwood Block

I bought these knives and they're very sharp and very distinctive. The Damascus is definitely unique and real. The quality is there and they're really nice in and out of the block. The block is also very nice and the set is beautiful. Sadly, I had to return them because the steak knives, the handles were just a smidge too short and it felt awkward and uncontrolled. ...nothing like holding a extremely sharp knife, cutting steak and it slips and accidentally cut yourself. Not a fan of the medical industry these days, so anything i can do to avoid thqt place/industry, i will. Anyway...So, these were returned, as hard as it was (like a bad breakup), and I'll be ordering another set from Nanfang, Damascus of course, except no steak knives in the set this time. Great knives - all of them. The larger handled knives were exceptional in both feel and performance, to include control. Now.. I just need to decide which set from Nanfang I'll replace this return with? Maybe the same one or perhaps the grey as that's quite sharp looking but im leaning towards the black block set, so we'll see..

Beautiful design and craftsmanship. Tang goes all the way through the handle. Incredibly sharp.

This is a quality set! Knives are razor sharp and feel great to work with. Butcher block stand is quality as well. Extremely happy with this purchase!

These knives seem to be well made, have and amazingly sharp blade and look great, I have been using them for weeks and there just as sharp as day one.

The media could not be loaded. Great sharp knives with a good weight. Easy to use. Don’t put in the dishwasher though. Hand wash to prevent any rusting. Good aesthetic and great variety for all types of cooking.

Wow. I’m a hard sell and usually don’t waste time writing reviews unless I’m totally impressed or unbelievably disappointed with a product.I started cooking when I was ten years old. I learned how to properly sharpen and hone a knife before I reached puberty. This is absolutely the most functionally amazing knife set I’ve used. Ever. Razor sharp when I received them and I’ve been using them regularly and haven’t needed to sharpen them in about two weeks. If you’re used to the crap they try to pawn off as “quality” in the big-box stores locally, do yourself a favor and look for a flash sale, invest the cost and I’d have to say that I’d guarantee that there is not a chance that you’ll feel any disappointment in these knives. Also, they are just freakin beautiful! I felt not one shred of buyers remorse in purchasing these knives when I opened the box and when I used them, and that’s pretty rare for me. I have high standards in the kitchen and these knives did not disappoint at all. 100% ecstatic with this purchase!

This knife set is fantastic! They are very sharp. They are real Japanese Damascus Steel Made. They cut very easily with little effort. The included sharping rod works well, I've used it on another older cheaper knife I have that was very dull. I spent maybe 20 mins sharpning. It wasn't completely sharp yet. But made improvement. I spent another 20 mins later on and it's like a new knife now. The other knives have been used a few times already and they hold a edge really well. Of course your need to clean these knives after use and dry fairly quickly to avoid rust. And put light oil on them. I would say one a week. I use flack seed oil just because that's what I use on my griddle gril. You can use veggie oil. or what you prefer. Taken care of properly this set will last as long time.

We've had these knives for a year in Feb 2025. I purchased them for my wife's birthday. Within the first month she had complained that they were 'cheap knives' and they were not holding up. (which I assured her they were not 'cheap' knives) Spots on the blades started to rust and corrode in small like holes. She threw out the pairing knife within that month. Several other knives have done the same since. Didn't think much about it. Now I', using the knives to entertain an event, and understand her 'complaints' of the knives. The scissors can't even cut paper at this point. I have 30 yr old Fiskars that work better. The scissors have rust/brown 'gunk' that appears every time they are washed and dried due to the poor hardware fastening them together. My wife is an avid cook, always takes good care of her 'kitchen tools'. (OCD) There is no 'must not be taking care of them' as a factor. I've had 10yr old Cuisinart block knives that haven't had these issues.The handles are nice, the large knifes are decent. However, still have the little notches of erosion rust spots starting on almost every blade. With the amount of money I paid for these knives, I'd expect much better. Or replacements of the knives that have failed.
