When they say hand wash only, believe them. Despite the price tag, dishwasher use destroys the handles. Handles are made of wood and don’t seem completely sealed nor treated. Once wood handle gets wet, it cracks and those cute metal caps pop right off. We messed up and are to blame for our own knives failure. Feels like there are options out there that can cut well and be dishwasher safe at this price point. If you buy, I wouldn’t let water touch these knives.

Do not buy!!! I used the chef knife a handful of times and hand washed it as directed. The knife now has several rust spots. I tried to remove the rust with Bartenders Friend, however now the product (which is safe to use on stainless steel) has left the knife looking distorted. Due to the price tag, I thought I was buying quality knives as I cook daily. However, these are not as good as advertised after using them for a few months.

Nice heavy weight and very sharp. Great large knife.

This knife is sharp cutting through tough vegetables like butter. It is easy to handle; fits my hands well!! Considering trashing my current set and getting couple more from this brand

When I opened the new box of the Chef's Knife we how well it cut and stayed sharp over the last month. Very happy with that decision and liked our Greenspan Standley Tucci Stainless Steel Frypan Set that we purchased earlier.
