Ross Henery Eclipse 9-Piece Chef Knife Set – Stainless Steel Kitchen Knives with Travel Case

My husband loved the knifes

This is my first review so i will be very direct and brief. First yes the case holds the items via velcro straps which can lead to them being cut if handled roughly. This is not an issue for me as these knifes are for home use, and i will be getting a magnetic knife holder. However individuals complain that the knifes are not sharp and that the straps are cut on delivery. That being said, sharp knifes will do what they are supposed to do!! Also I think some individuals do not know what "sharp" means and why their knifes dull so quickly here is a link of myths please refer to 10 and 15 as to why your knifes dull so quickly http://www.edgecraft.com/tips_myth_all.html . Also there is a difference between honing (what comes in this pack) and sharpening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU2mbWwVSXU here is a video that does quick overview. Otherwise love the knifes/cleaver, in how they feel in my hands and the size of each. Cannot wait to get cooking.***Disclaimer: I am not a spokesperson for any knife or sales company nor am i employed by any kitchen nor do i receive endorsements for reviews just a unbiased reviewer, I am also not affiliated with the companies or spokespersons in the videos or on the sites i posted. They were found doing my own research on knifes***

I think this is a great knife set for the price. I bought these for $119 and it has all that I need as far as kitchen knives. The weight of them is great. They feel pretty heavy and balanced, as far as I could tell (I'm no professional chef, though). I've gotten complements on how great they look, too. I made the mistake of letting this sit in the dishwasher for hours after the cycle ended. The condensation that was left created small rust spots on them. I had run them through the dishwasher a number of times with no problem, but I was careful to dry them and put them away soon after the cycle ended. So, you definitely have to take care with these knives if you want to prevent rust. I did my research before I bought these, though, and found that it is a common problem with stainless steel knives, so I kind of expected that to happen. That's why I'm still rating them 5 stars. They look great, feel great, do the job well, and were a good price.

My husband and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen - we are very picky about the cooking tools we buy. Normally, a knife set would be something that we would want to see in person before purchasing, but after going from store to store, we couldn't find anything to suit us. We came upon this set online and because it had so many good reviews and the set was described well, we decided to take a chance. Glad we did, the knives perform well and they are just the right weight. We also like that they're forged one piece, so that the blade is unlikely to separate from the handle as we're cutting.

The most appealing feature about this set of knives is they are made of high carbon steel PLUS stainless. This gives the metal the advantage of holding a sharp edge for a longer period of time and looking great while doing it.This set is indeed beautiful and gleaming, but it's beauty can be deceptive. The balance on each knife is perfect. The fairly large cleaver included is also balanced well and looks great. It's actually the first cleaver I've used as much as I have. Very nice. In fact, the entire set looks great and functions as expected.Regardless of the task whether it's chopping or dicing veg's, milling a couple cloves of garlic or butchering a chicken or other meat product, the blades all perform perfectly while holding an edge time after time after time. Using the included steel will only prolong the edges of your blades, as well as utilizing the blade guards.The case in which they can be stored is clearly durable and quite convenient -- given the size of the set it's holding. I've learned which pieces I use most often and keep them in a cabinet drawer in front of my work table, each sheathed in their protective blade guards. The case will be perfect for transporting or long-term storage say, for a move for instance. But you'll find that you'll be using these knives every day. Literally! The case is beautiful, but not mandated.Except for the larger chef's knife which was significantly less sharp than the other blades -- and required greater attention to sharpening to produce the razor-sharp blade to which I'm accustomed -- all of the blades came with a very nice edge.I still worked each knife briefly on a sharpening stone to produce a fine, razored edge, however. It wasn't necessary, but since I just purchased them and was giving them their first good bath, I figured I'd hone 'em a bit.My only concern, and it's a small one, is that the logo of 'Ross Henery' has washed off of the blades I use most often. Odd. Very odd. This allowed me the thought that these knives may be knock-offs and not the real thing.I'm thinking the manufacturer of a knife as good as this would want its name to remain with its product for the lifetime of it.The disappearing brand name is the ONLY reason I've given the set 4 STARS. The blades work and they work well.I'm keeping my fingers crossed for longevity, which shouldn't be an issue unless of course they are not the real deal -- and god only knows where that could lead!

Love these! Great purchase

This is a very good set of knives packaged in an attractive case , making it a wonderful gift idea. The knives are good-looking, easy to hold, and sharp. I appreciate the knife sharpener piece that comes with the set. I used it on a few older knives of mine and it made them like new again. I do suggest that the knives be washed by hand and that they be dried right away. I am perfectly satisfied with the set. It's not easy to find a set that is relatively inexpensive that actually has sharp knives. A good addition to any kitchen.

Receiver has enjoyed them.
