Nice set of knives with decent grade of steel but not quite as good as major high end brands
This Yatoshi knife set, which includes seven knives, covers most of the essential tools you’ll need in any kitchen. It features a chef's knife, bread knife, slicing knife, Santoku knife, utility knife, paring knife, and honing steel. The knives are made from 7Cr17 steel, which is considered a medium to low-grade steel. To get the best performance out of these knives, it’s important to care for them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For instance, putting them in the dishwasher will lead to deterioration of both the handles and the steel. This type of steel can rust if not properly dried, and using harsh chemicals to clean it can cause further damage. On the positive side, 7Cr17 steel is relatively easy to sharpen and holds a good edge when maintained properly.7Cr17 steel is popular in kitchen knives due to its combination of affordability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. It resists rust and staining, making it a good choice for high-moisture environments like kitchens. However, while it’s durable for everyday tasks, it doesn’t hold an edge as long as premium steels like VG-10 or S30V, meaning it may require more frequent honing or sharpening. Additionally, it can be more prone to chipping when used for heavy-duty tasks like cutting through bone or frozen foods. Overall, 7Cr17 steel is a solid choice for home cooks looking for an affordable, low-maintenance knife, though it may not satisfy those seeking top-tier performance or long-lasting edge retention.For the price, this knife set is not quite as good as brands like Henckels. When comparing them side by side with my Henckels knives, the Yatoshi knives feel lighter and less dense, primarily because the handles seem lighter. While they appear to have full tang blades, I suspect the metal inside the handles isn't as heavy as those found in other knives. Still, these knives perform well in the kitchen as long as you take care of them according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Also these knives don't come with a knife holder which would make it easier to use in the kitchen. Don't throw them in a drawer where they will rattle around and get dented.

Sharp!
Very very sharp. Hard good quality knives. It's a good big set. No negatives besides lacking a block to put them in.

Cheap material and dull extremely fast.
They are sharp out of the box but dull extremely fast. They also rust extremely easy. I would just save your money and spend it on another brand.

Great on first use - rusts easily
We were in desperate need for new knives, so I snatched these up. I was so excited to use these! They came in a really nice box and they were packaged well. The wood is very dark brown, almost black, which is what we would've wanted if it were an option, but if you wanted a true brown, this isn't it. We washed them before using (duh) and then sliced away. They cut beautifully! I was so excited to have a great set of knives. However, after we handwashed them, they already started developing rust spots. This makes me question the quality and how long the knives will last....I don't want to cut food with rusty knives.I gave 3 stars because they do work great and are probably a good set for someone on a budget, but overall, the quality seems lacking...definitely not worth 5 stars and if you have the budget, get something better.

Excellent
I still can’t believe I scored these. Absolutely gorgeous. These are sharp and easy to use. They have some weight to them but are easy to handle. They are so sharp. It’s quick and easy to chop and cut up food. I hand wash and they are good to go for the next time. Great gift for a cook. Highly recommend.Excellent value for the money.

Sharp Knives and Easy to Use
The kitchen knife set is well made and durable. The knife blades are made of high carbon steel. The good quality knives are sharp, work well, and easy to use. The handles are elegant, sturdy, and easy to grasp. The valuable knives are a nice weight and are dishwasher safe.
