Product Description
Featuring full-tang construction, these substantial well-balanced steak knives feel great in your hand and look beautiful on your table. The semi-serrated knife edge offers both precision cutting and smooth slicing action, for best-of-both-worlds performance. The slotted wood tray stores knives conveniently and safely between meals.
Amazon.com Review
The semiserrated edges on these four knives make precise cuts or long slices and are ideal for steak, roast chicken, pork chops, or whatever meat you're serving. For durability, the knives are fully forged of one piece of rust- and stain-resistant, high-carbon stainless steel that runs through blade, bolster, and tang. The full tang offers balance and strength when slicing and is triple-riveted to the poly resin handle. The handle is reinforced with fiberglass to prevent moisture from getting between the rivets. These traditional-style steak knives come in a slotted wooden tray for safe storage in a drawer when not in use. Calphalon knives are covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Consistent Rust Stains November 16, 2006
One Real Picky Consumer (Texas)

Despite my by-the-book care of these knives, I still get rust stains that are nearly impossible to get off. I do not have that problem with other knives in my collection, but these clean up like cheap steel. Not very attractive, and you don't want to eat with them.
I do wish Amazon would be a little more honest with Calphalon 'savings'.... August 22, 2006

If you visit the Calphalon site (www.calphalon.com), you will see that the 'suggested retail' is $49.95! Thus, your 'real' savings are in free shipping.
Also, these knives are manufactured in China, not in Germany or the USA. Despite this, they are, as another reviewer stated, superior to stamped blades.
 We're really pleased with these knives November 3, 2005

These knives are a pleasure to use. The have a nice heft and balance, classic look, single piece tang fabrication, and a very stiff blade. I also liked the price.
Excellent set of forged steak knives October 14, 2003

I have had these knives for about 6 months now and could not be happier. They have excellent balance and feel. A major improvement to the stamped knives that comes with the Calphalon 15 piece set. The wood storage tray that comes with the knives is not very nice (light pine with no finish), but I don't use it anyway.
Almost a hit. January 11, 2003

I was a little surprised with this set. Don't get me wrong, you should buy it, but the edge lacked a little of the visual refinement of the rest of the line. Also, the block of wood shipped with the knives is made of pine, or some other very soft wood. It would be nice if it was a Maple match to the block that shipped with the 15 piece set. This is a very good set, but it could use a little help upon arrival with a very fine whetstone, and a proper hardwood block. If you don't mind 2 minutes per blade with an ultra fine stone, this set compares well with the best of the two big homegrown German brands. Don't get me wrong, this set is far above any stamped steel set (even the stamped offerings from the big German brands). Buy it and enjoy!
