Quality made…very sharp

These Cangshan OLIV Series knives are easy to hold/grasp and balance. Despite their look, they are lightweight. And they are definitely very sharp. Be careful when unpacking the knives, there are protective card stock sleeves covering the knives, plus the plastic protectors on some of the edges…all are not covered. I barely hit one end of the bread knife, which did not have a plastic cover…and got a small cut. So be CAREFUL!They are made of a more economical steel (Swedish 14C28N Steel) that’s both very durable and corrosion proof. Plus, making the knives more affordable for home chefs and cooks. The online description states that these knives are partially-tang, but the box indicates that they are full-tang (meaning that the steel is in one continuous piece, extending throughout the entire length of the handle…an important trait of top-quality and professional knives). Full tang knives are safer…and least likely to break apart. No worries of the blade popping or flying off.The olive wood handles are simple, buy beautifully executed and ergonomic…the grain is unique and very distinctive of olive wood, which is less susceptible to bacteria and stains. The handles are very smooth and free of any imperfections.The maple knife block is sturdy, despite the tipping warning…and smooth on the outside. Plus, maple is known as a very durable hardwood, so it should hold up time for years. But, I can actually see the glue and rough areas/splinters inside of the knife slots, so be aware of that when removing the knives from their respective slots…it may be a good idea to rinse them after removal and before use/prepping.This knife block set would be a perfect gift for newlyweds, new homeowners or an inspiring chef. The plain side of the knife block can be personalized by engraving or burning (pyrography) a family name, initials or design onto it.Overall, this is a wonderful knife block set that will become the main go-to set for my kitchen. Quality product. I recommend it.

Spectacular - Great Edge Holding

I love this knife set. They arrive scary sharp as you would expect.I really like the look and feel of the olive wood handles and they provide a secure, comfortable grip. The weight and balance of the knives seems just right to me.Cangshan claims these knives hold their edge up to five times longer than German steel. I decided to put that to the test. In my video I show a sharpness test of a knife I have been using almost daily for two months. The only care I gave that knife was washing and drying after each use. Nothing was done to touch up the edge, but after two months it is still very sharp. It's not scary sharp like it was new, but it is still plenty sharp enough to slice through paper and shave the hairs on my arm.

Needs a nicer block.

The knives are nice but the block just makes the whole thing feel “meh.” I returned it.

Love them

I’m a huge fan of a good quality knife that feels good in the hands and cuts very easily. These knives are very sharp and I really like the wooden design that’s mixed in with the steel. They have good weight to them, and the knife block is very easy to keep everything organized. The nice light brown color of all of the wood looks fantastic. I love quality knives, and these are quality.

These are amazing. Balance is perfect. Solid and sturdy.

I can’t say enough good things about these knives. They are high quality materials. The balance is perfect. You can balance a knife on one finger. I have to admit I had goose bumps when I unpacked them. They slice like a razor blade. These are just amazing. The shears can snip through a chicken thigh bone with little effort. Usually I would balk at such an expensive set. But, I can say if you need quality knives, these are worth every penny.
