SENKEN Damascus Steel Kitchen Knife Set - Umi Collection - 67-Layer Japanese VG10 Steel, Real Deep-Sea Abalone Shell Handle, Chef's Knife, Santoku, Paring, Fillet, Utility (5-Piece Damascus Knife Set)

Absolutely gorgeous knives razor sharp edges when they arrived. I bought this set for my daughter and she loves them. For those reviews talking about quality of the steel, these are NOT cheap stainless...mass marketing has fooled you into thinking that's a good knife steel and it isn't. High carbon steel will sharpen better and maintain the edge better but still needs care. Wash and dry the knives after use, don't leave food residue on them...in short, take care of them and they'll last a lifetime. I hand wash my carbon steel knives and immediately dry them. I'd also suggest getting a good sharpening system so you can keep the blades sharp and make sure its set to the correct angle.

Excellent - left a lengthy review with the accompanying steak knives, but these are the real deal. Great looking, very well made, excellent blade, sharpness, durability yet flexible. And the hand-feel is great. I am a chef and tried many others and these work very nice. Hand sharpen on a wet stone to be sure of angle and edge - excellent results. Very pleased.

These are just beautiful and cut through foods like butter. I get so many compliments about them. This is one purchase I am not sorry about, and feel they are well worth the money spent.

Very poor quality of steel. It got rasted after 10 minutes under the water.

Very sharp and beautiful in kitchen

I was a little apprehensive to order these since I didn't recognize the brand but saw them on etsy, wayfair and Instagram. They are so beautiful and so sharp. They cut everything effortlessly. I just sliced a few cherry tomatoes for an example. I tried ordering a block from the same brand and they definitely don't fit but Amazon took the block back no problem. The seller was weird about it though and sent an email saying they wish I would have contacted them first as they would have stated they don't sell a block for these. I ended up getting a universal block and they fit just fine. Overall I'm super happy with these and they are just so unique! I've been hand washing and drying and have had no issues either.

Knives were not sharp when they arrived. I don't expect to have to sharpen blades when they are brand new

Beautiful and Amazing best purchase ever
