Chicago Cutlery Insignia Triple Rivet Kitchen Knives
Wanted to tell you about this 18-piece set of Kitchen Knives. I believe these to be a really good value if you are need of a variety of knife shapes and sizes. These are very sharp, so I always recommend treating your knives with care while using. Well, let’s get to it!
My home has had a serious lack of sharp knives for a while. It’s quite frustrating when the one and only thing you can do well with your knives is butter some toast. My husband is the chef in the family, and he truly needs to have knives to do the job. He is a cook from scratch chef, so all sorts of meats and veggies have crossed our cutting boards[BR1] . It was decided that this past Christmas we would purchase these knives as our home gift. We decided on the Black Handles with the 3 Rivets which look really nice.
They were packaged well, with an emphasis on safety which is important when these are the sharpest knives you’ve had in years. They feel a bit heavy, but are built solidly, a positive attribute. The wood block is very pretty with storage areas for all the knives (though my left-handed hubby did grumble a bit about the right-handed orientation of all the knife slots). There’s also a slot for sharpening the knives which is pretty handy.
The knives are sharp, really sharp. The product specs state these are dishwasher safe but honestly I hand-washed each knife and continue to do so. These knives deserve premium care plus the dishwasher can lead to not only damage of the knives over time but risk a slice of skin or plastic dishwasher parts.
Food prep has been a pleasure whether it’s vegetables or thick meats and we are happy with the construction and usability. The 8 knives seated in the top portion of the block are various sizes and have been given a name and use but I think you will find the correct knife for whatever your job is. The steak knives are non-serrated and quite the little workhorses on their own. There is also a pair of scissors which come apart for cleaning.
Pretty happy with the purchase and look forward to many years with these Chicago Cutlery knives. Take a look using the link provided. I think you’ll find the look, style and functionality to be of good value.
