Amazon.com Review: You won't be missing a single cutting tool with this 14-piece cutlery block set from Sabatier. It contains a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, an 8-inch chef knife, an 8-inch slicer, an 8-inch bread knife, a 6-inch boning knife, six 5-inch steak knives, a pair of kitchen shears, a sharpening steel, and a 14-slot block to keep them in. The knives are made from high-carbon stainless steel, which is the industry standard, and have full tangs, meaning that the steel goes all the way through the handle. These knives feel a little lighter than professional quality sets, and won't hold the same razor-sharp edge, but for those looking for a complete starter set these will work just fine. The shears are a nice bonus when cutting through bones or joints, and they'll cut through bags and boxes and do a fine job of snipping herbs into a sauce. The sharpening steel helps to keep the blade true, and the block keeps tools handy and protected. --Maria Dolan

Thought I'd get a deal on good knives, I got what I paid for and was not impressed.
Rating: - Been Using Them for Years
I 've had these knives for years... and although not the highest quality, the price was right and they usually get the job done...only problem is I do find rust on steak knives sometimes, which I have to use soap pad to remove.
Rating: - OK knives, not great...
I bought these for $9 or something stupid like that 3 years ago because I needed a filler. I knew full well I wasn't getting the high-quality, high-price Sabatier knives made in France, so I had no illusions about that.
I've been very impressed with these knives to this point, and have been very pleasantly surprised.
Like others, I had to sharpen them before using them. The secret here is to use a Lanskey or similar sharpening system to develop and set a proper angle and edge.
Once that is done, regular dressing with a honing steel is all that is needed ... Read More
Rating: - not sure
Read the label it says made in china! If it was a real sabatier knife then if would be forged in france. It says so on sabatiers site. The name is not protected so people and companies can make fake sabatiers and sell them under that name. I would never buy a knife off the internet! Goto germany or france and pick up a real forged set
