BGT Japanese 67 Layer High Grade VG-10 Super Damascus Steel Knives, Sharp, Teak Handle Professional Hammered Kitchen Knife Set with Knife Roll Bag 6Pcs Set (Silver Blade)

These are really great knives for the price, but you should know what you're getting. These knives are excellent quality steel, and they're very attractive with nice teak handles, but they're not perfect out of the box. If you want this set to be everything they can be it's going to be a little work. You should sand down a few rough edges on the handles. You're going to need to soak the handles in mineral oil (and occasionally reapply). And not every blade is razor sharp, so you're going to need to sharpen a few of them. Once they're sharp, they are excellent. And they stay sharp for a LONG time. I cook every day, multiple times a day, and it took about a month before I noticed the blade wasn't quite as sharp. It's still very sharp, but not the razor edge it was when I got it. Overall, if you can afford Shun knives or something similar, get those. If you love to cook, don't mind doing a little work, and are on a budget, these will be every bit as good as an expensive knife after a little work. For where I'm at, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

These knives are an absolute unit. Of course, material is the sole reason I got these since here in Texas it's pretty humid and knives rust. Out of the box, these are real sharp so no wet block is required quite yet and it's been able to cut through tomatoes, onions, chillis, chicken and other things very well. Also, does manage to cut through frozen breasts pretty well albeit with a bit of maneuvering, and with the help of the indentions of the knife's handle as well. Overall, solid knives, can't go wrong with these.

the only thing i have had to do is tighten a few of the screws holding the g10 scales, and round the edges on the back of the chef knife and santoku knife to not have a hot spot when i'm dicing. good edge retention and no rust present yet, and i work in a kitchen helping out with prep in the back, so these knives got put through the ringer and i would buy them again if i needed to.

Update: When I first received these knives, I was pretty hard on them as they were a fair bit more expensive when I purchased them.Price not factored in, these have lasted a lot better than i initially expected and I amVery happy with them.The handles are still in the exact same condition as they were when I bought them, and the blades have stayed rust free since.If you’re thinking a few hundred dollars will get you precision hand crafted knives, think again. I have always purchased kitchen knives from low rent stores and have been satisfied with the knives because I knew I was not getting anything special. I generally kept the $9.99 super store knife sharp using a diamond stone and I would sharpen it every time I knew it would matter.Upon opening the BGT knife set I was excited because they are very attractive and the roll case they come in is slightly more durable feeling than I though it would be. Once I started examining the blades and handles though, I realized why you can pick this set up for less then a single quality Dena. I uploaded a few pictures that show my gripes. One picture frames the blade of the santoku with glare running down the length of the blade, this picture will show the uneven grinding of the edge. An uneven edge like this would be a problem to anyone who is not familiar with knife sharpening. I do not consider myself any expert or professional, but I have been able to keep my $9.99 knives sharper than the factory edge of this BGT set.The majority of the handles are acceptable, though the tang of the blades are ground sloppy. One handle (pictured) had some white staining in the grain of the wood that will not rub off. I can only assume that the white build up is a result from off gassing of an expoxy used to glue the wood to the tang... although I'm not 100% sure.I gave these knives 3/5 stars because I really want these knives to last a long time and hold a solid edge. I will update this review after many months of using them.... 4/5 is the best they can do if my long term expectations are met.

The knife is beautiful, super sharp, and comfortable to hold. It is much lighter than our german knives.There is a small imperfection on the edge near the tip where it doesn't hold it's edge. Seems like the softer metal of the damascus is exposed there.

The other reviews were so complementary that I was convinced to give these a try (seemed too good to be true). Can't believe how great the knives are! I washed them and coated the wood handles in mineral oil... that was all that they needed. Can't believe how great these are! I've always been a bit of a knife snob and own two very expensive knives but I'd have to take a second mortgage out to get a whole set of those knives. These are comparable to the expensive knives I own. Don't hesitate to try them yourself! I feel so fortunate to have them in my kitchen...a matching set of GREAT knives. Wow!!!!UPDATE: I've had them for a year now and I still love them! They stay sharp and are a true pleasure to use. Best buy I've made on Amazon.

Hello, I personally love your knife but it chipped after using around 20 times cutting. I would like a replacement or offer for this since it didn't last long enough as a single knife should be for a resident usage.

Got this set of knives for our travel trailer. They are very sharp out of the box. I am hopeful that they can retain a sharp edge over time. The balance and handle feel great. My expectations weren't super high given the low price point but the knives seem worth the money. I'll post an update after a couple months of use.
