Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
poor quality product
blades too thin
cheap plastic handles
easy for food and food juices to get under handles
fork tines not sharp enough.
This knife set definitely is not worth paying for. I received it as a free promotional item. The knives and forks are terribly flimsy -- so much so that they actually bend out of shape. I probably won't use them at all -- they don't feel sturdy enough to be safe. Not one of Staples more valuable promotional items. Perhaps useful if you have a youngster who is setting up a summer apartment, or if you have a summer cabin that needs cutlery, but not good for regular kitchen use.
This set is an overall disappointment.
[...] they are unquestionably terrible. The forks look neat but they are very weak. The teeth on the steak knives seem to tear rather than cut the meat and the chef's knife bends in the middle thereby making it impossible to slice anything evenly. Such flimsy and weak construction actually causes these knives to feel very unsafe.
extremely cheap, not worth having
The quality of this product is terrible. If you can get these knives sharp they will not maintain their edge. I would not recommend this set to anyone.
