OAKSWARE Steak Knives Set of 8, Non Serrated Steak Knives with Block, 5 inch German Stainless Steel Straight Edge Steak knife with Full Tang Handle, Rust Resistant ＆ Easy to Maintain

> nice quality: smooth finish, well constructed, interesting finish on blade, handle smooth and comfortable> heavy: I would prefer a lighter, smaller knife but it's not enormous like some steakhouse knives> decent edge: pretty sharp and smooth out of the box but I used a ceramic hone stick to better smooth it> surprising value: I've been kinda studying knives, and the difference between these and high $$$ brands are pretty hard to distinguish (other than by name - nobody ever heard of oaksware!). My conclusion is, you can go for super hard steel, which will last longer but then require professional sharpening, or do like most chefs and use softer steel and keep it honed and occasionally sharpened. I don't know the steel grade on these but I expect it's of the latter variety, not so hard. But fact is we won't use them all that often so I'm OK with a bit of quick maintenance with a hone. Besides it's kinda fun, makes you feel like a pro!> the block is nice but we won't use it, keep them in a drawer

I looked around quite a bit for quality at an affordable price. No reason to spend any more. These knives are high quality. Very sharp right out of the box. Great finish and cuts through meat like butter. Good weight too. Highly recommended.

They loved it. We did. They thanked us a lot bc they could tell it was high quality. It cuts so smoothly and so nicely. Worth it. Wouldnt have purchased unless it was on sale so thanks Oaksware for doing that once in a while.

Nice full tang knives with a compact storage block. They are not tiny knives. Just right for steaks and general food cutting. They are sharp right out of the box. Sturdy, but not too heavy for my family member with arthritis.Lucky find!

These are bigger than I thought they would be, so kinda disappointed they will not fit in my old knife block. But that does not detract from the quality of these knives. They feel nice and heavy, look well made, and came very sharp right out of the box.

These are good knives. Dont be fooled by the reasonable price. They are great for steak and hold an edge pretty well. Easy to sharpen razor sharp. No serrated edge, so the cut nicely.

I have to return these Oakswell knives, though they look great! The knives are simply too large for my current knife holder; I never intended to use the included steak knife holder, due to lack of counter space. These knives are well made, heavy, sharp, and I love the non-serrated feature. The steak knife area on my knife holder allows for handles that are no greater than 1/2" or so in width. These knives ar more like 3/4 to 7/8" wide. I wish Amazon would include the specific dimensions of a single knife in the description of these Oaksware knives

The knives are impressively sharp and have a great feel and weight. The knives are larger so smaller hands may feel they are slightly oversized, but this does not detract at all from hiw well they cut! I have made sure to wash and dry them by hand after each use and not to let them sit with water or food on them based on the comments of other users. I have not seen any rust or discoloration and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a great set at a tremendous value! Be careful though they are sharp!
