First gut reaction is no because you get what you pay for. On the other hand costco has good products and if they suck a even better return policy.

So might be worth trying

Spend the money on great blades and you'll not have to buy them over and over for life and have mediocre cutlery...

I bought a Cutco set cuz my mom was selling them when I was making great money and I've never been sorry or bought another kitchen knife. Life long warranty and sharpening - I had someone set a dish on a chefs knife and break the tip off and they replaced it for free.

There are other good brands but the whole buy once, cry once applies to all knives.

Lol when is the next Kershaw sale?

I second the "you get what you pay for". On the other hand, they will probably give you tremendous value at that price and last a couple years.Product description says wear resistant coating, which means they'll probably stay relatively sharp. What do you have to lose at that price?

I have a cuisineart bread knife that has lasted about 5 years and still going strong. Personally, I like high quality kitchen knives made of strong Japanese steel with a balance of good edge retention and ease of sharpening, but they can cost about $100-$180+ each.

Hard to tell from a pic but they look better than cheapo entry-level and they have been vetted by the Costco product evaluators.

Might be a good "stocking-stuffer" or party gift at Christmas, as well.

it looks like it would be a good beater set of knives, just dont expect to hand them over to the grand kids

 

[DirectDrive]

Doesn't look like anything one would see in Idaho.
OK to dream, though.

I've got a drawer full of kitchen knives. Cheap ones, and not so cheap ones. They all work the same in a kitchen atmosphere. Keep 'em sharp, and if they are not Dollar-Tree fall-aparts, they will likely last longer than you.

 

[Joe13]

Would be a good hunting/camping set for taking out to the boonies imo for a cheap General knife set for cooking.

Or maybe not... I carry enough knives on me to outfit a squad lol

 

[Ura-Ki]

My Dad got that set, seems to work fine and they can take an edge so thats good! My Baby Bro put a real edge on um and so far they have remained sharper then I would have thought!
I run H.K. Dick and Hinkel German Knives, they are unbeatable, but EXPENSIVE! Buy once Cry once!

I got the deluxe set with salt & pepper shakers

... I resisted and got a hot dog instead.

of course you did.. lol

Costco is taking Polish hot dogs off its food court menu. Fans are grieving - and angry.

Chinese food is known for being pre-cut up for you, everything being eaten with chopsticks.
America is known for Bowie knives.. be a good American.

 

[snarlingdog]

Awwww Crap!!!...I thought this was an entirely different thing.

We own 2 CutCo Knives. One was a gift: The Cleaver ( ducks/geese etc) and the Cheese Slicer.
I highly recommend the latter.

I have a couple of Twins - Zwillilng J.A. Henckels (Chef 8in & Slicer 8in )
One JA Henckels - 12 in slicer scalloped (great for the holiday bird / roast )
And, a couple Wusthof (Classic) (Chef 6in & santuko )
And some off-brand bread slicer which rarely gets used.
We have 4 pairing knives as they get used frequently.


I am in the market to replace a couple of ceramic knives (see other thread)

I think I would have bought the set if I wanted this size. I want 5in santuko & 5in chef-ish mostly for veggie prep
and since I have larger blade lengths already.

Isn't the sale in the Dec 1st time frame ? (was in 2015 )

 

[Hawaiian]

Usually the first weekend in Dec. They don't have a date published yet for 2018

I buy high quality knives. Same with firearms. Buy quality and only cry once.
When buying kitchen knives, you are better off buying individual knives that you will actually use. Buy a set of knives like the blocks, and you will end up using your favorites and others go unused.
My wife was not happy with what I spent on some custom kitchen knives. But I noticed that they are the ones she uses most. It took me awhile to break her from putting them in the dishwasher.
