I bought these knives because I love anything to do with Calphalon, but you need to make the steak knives straight edge with self-sharpening, because the steak knives don’t cut very good. Other than that they are the best knives in the world.

This is my second set of Calphalon Cutlery. I happened to have bought this set because there was a recall on my previous set and I knew I could not go with my knives especially since I enjoy cooking.Calphalon is especially excellent in standing behind their products which is the main reason why I support this great Company and have purchased their cutlery, cookware, bakeware and other accessories.

We have owned a couple individual calphalon knives for several years, and loved them so much we decided to purchase the entire set. I gave them to my wife for our 11 anniversary ( I know that is like buying a vacuum cleaner) and she was so happy and thankful. She loves the set and how nice they look on the counter.

My husband and I have been in a good set of knives for awhile now and we tried the German knives that are supposed to be “tops”. Wrong, we took them back two days after trying them. This set is beyond the doubt, the best we could ever think of getting. Perfect and I love what they are printed on the end of them to keep from guessing which is which. I love this set and the self-sharpener is just great. No complaints what so ever, Hats off for a wonderful, beautiful, very well made set.

I bought this 8 months ago for a busy vacation rental house and am very happy with the quality and performance.

Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Knives are well sharpened, have excellent balance, and the self-sharpening feature seems to work just fine. Time will tell, of course, whether this feature can keep up with ordinary daily use, but my guess is it will keep the knives in tip top shape. Thanks Calphalon for your innovative approach to this set. Would recommend it to anyone.

This set is beautiful and looks impressive on the counter. Nice to have a sharp knife each and every time. One thing I wish was that the knives weren’t labeled. I don’t think it looks professional. A laminated cheat sheet to slip in a drawer or under a cutting board would work, and after a short while you would know where each knife went. Other than that they seem to be well worth the money.

I bought this set 7 or 8 yrs ago. I use the 8in chefs knife all the time. I had dropped it on the floor and it broke. I called Calphalon and they sent me a new one all I had to do was take a picture of it with my phone. A yr or so later I dropped one of the pairing knives and it broke. They checked the serial numbers on the others and I had to send 8 of the knives back because they were under a recall, they sent me brand new knives back. This knife set is fantastic, will not use anything else. Thank you for a great knife set and a fantastic warranty. After I use them, they are washed by hand, dried by hand and put back in the butcher block

I bought this around the beginning of the year, and they have made much kitchen work a joy instead of a chore. (I guess my previous motley collection was pretty much a disgrace!) LOVE the self-sharpening feature. The knives are well balanced and easy to use. Having the names of the knives on the ends of the handles eliminates some aggravation — a lot of visitors who notice that comment on how much they like that feature. Go for it!

I bought this set to replace an older set of Calphalon knives that we have had for years. We absolutely LOVE it. The block looks gorgeous and we are really pleased that the knives are always sharp now – no more manual sharpening.
