About Amazon Basics Color-Coded Kitchen 12-Piece Knife Set
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
82% appreciated the sharpness longetivity, but 18% didn't
I have been using the knife set for 3 years and they are still as sharp as ever.
The knife set is not as sharp as claimed.
81% found it rust resistant, but 19% noticed rusting
After using and washing them well, the knives are still cutting well.
The knives rusted when left in water for rinsing, indicating that they are not rust-resistant.
83% appreciated the handle comfort, yet 17% found it uncomfortable
The knives have a smooth plastic handle with no grip, making them slippery to hold.
The handle is made of slippery plastic and could be dangerous if it gets wet.
82% were impressed with the blade quality, but 18% weren't
The space between the blade edge and handle on the red and blue knives in this set is dangerously sharp, causing injuries to three people, including one professional food-preparer.
In just 11 months, the blades have gone from not so sharp to dull and rusty.
When I accidentally dropped it on a carpeted floor, the tip of the blade bent and there were 3 knicks along the blade.
I find the knife to be unbalanced, with dull blades and lightweight.
82% liked the balance, whereas 18% found it too heavy
I returned the knife set because the handles were too slim for my arthritic hands and felt slippery when wet.
