My husband and I registered for the item for our wedding, although we didn't get it we used our registry close out coupon for it and are so glad we did. The set includes all the knives we need and the block even has some extra slots to include some other knives we had/purchased to add it it (i.e. a bread knife, a cheese knife that came with a different gift). The knives are sturdy and cut cleanly and smoothly through anything we've used them for. I liked that it included scissors, a sharpener, and 2 more steak knives than we noticed with other sets. A definite worthwhile buy!

Never, never never have I been so dissapointed with a product, much less one with such a solid reputation as Calphalon. I have several of their pots and pans from my wedding registry, and was so pleased with them, that I figured their knives would have the same quality. Not the case at all. When I first bought them, they were wonderful. The honeymoon lasted about a month, and they started dulling. I sharpened them using the knife sharpener included in the kit, and it barely made a difference. I then used an electronic sharpener I had, and that worked just the same. At this point, I can't even cut a tomato or a pepper. It's pretty frustrating considering what I paid. In addition, I used the shears, and washed them a few times, and they are so rusted, that they don't even pry open any more. Maybe Claphalon offers better knives, but stay far away from these.

We just got this knife set as a wedding registry gift and we are very happy with it so far. The Santoku knife is the one we use daily. [...] the Santoku goes in the opposite way of all the other knives so that the writing appears upside down. It doesn't really bother me, but my husband thought it was a defect and wanted to return it. It looks like it is made that way so unless you are bothered by this slight anomaly I would highly suggest this knife set!

Unlike many other reviewers, I did not receive these as a gift, I had to fork out my own cash to get them. I did do some research before purchasing. Great set for under [$]. Full tang, triple rivited. Having 8 steak knives is a plus. Block has extra slots to add more knives. My knives slice through a sheet of paper without any difficulty. These knives are weighted well and feel great in my hand. I gave four stars for quality because they are made in [...]. I hope this review helps you in your knive shopping experience.

I just recently received the Calphalon 16pc Cutlery set as a gift and I really like how the set looks on my countertop. The knives are all very sharp and cut well. They fit well in any size hand.I would definitely recommend this item to others or even purchase this as a gift!

This was a gift for my cousin's wedding. It was so easy to find my cousin's selections & to place my order. I always feel good about ordering Taget items--the process is easy and there have never been any problems with delivery.
