Ich bin glcklich, das dieser Messer gekauft habe, hochwertige Qualitt, schn gemacht, scharf und angenehm in Benutzung, mir mach viel Spa mit diese Messer was zu kochen, kann nur weiter empfehlen, ist einfach klasse.
Very sharp knives, very sharp and amazing delivery next day after late in the day order.
Great knives, well designed & very nice to use. My only criticism is that the block is made out of wood, so when you are putting the knives back in to the block you will undoubtedly accidentally mark it, scratch it, stab it as you’ll not always get the blade in the slot first time. It would have been nice for that area to be protected from the blade.
Ottimi set di coltelli belle eleganti e funzionali.
rispetto ai concorrenti nel loro campo costano anche una cifra giusta e tagliano benissimo
First of all, the knives are ridiculously sharp, the steel is very hard and as such if you take care of them they should last a very long time… The grip is pleasant to look at and whilst the knives are quite heavy they’re a decent size grip and pretty good to hold…
The negatives… They’re essentially either etched, (ignore the pictures they used in the advertisement yours will not look anywhere near as good) or just got some damascus steel on the sides with a V10 core, they really are very disappointing in this regard…
The knife block is nice to look at, I bought the grey one, but the knives will hack away at the openings as they are not guarded at all and it will become very obvious once the paint is chipped away, even taking care you WILL stab the entrance holes.
Ignoring the fact that the steel is definitely not 100% damascus steel, (and I expect this will scratch or rub off) the underside of the knife block has 4 feet, one of mine is not the same colour as the others, and the nail that’s been used to fix it to the base is bent and actually scratches the surface of wherever you put it when it’s put down… This is definitely a QC issue, and yours will likely not have this issue.
So… despite this, I do think the knives are pretty well made, I like the steel that extends on the outside of the handles, they feel strong, none of them are flexible however, so filleting the bones out of a fish might need another solution, as would cutting jamon serrano directly from the leg… Not that these knives can’t cut a straight and super thin layer… I think they can… but whatever you’re cutting will end up conforming conform to the edge of the knife, not vice versa.
The demo cut was actually surprisingly difficult as it was a thin but quite tough piece of card, they can cut vegetables etc with absolute ease, and should hold that sharpness for some time… Care they’re sharp as hell, you won’t get second chances… =)
The knifes being all different shapes and sizes all feel comfortable and really give you that feel that your holding something of quality! Nice weight distribution which makes cutting effortless! If like me you like cooking at home but your not exactly a pro chef these knifes make you feel like you are a pro chef!
Beautiful knives, scarily sharp, just a shame the block had a couple of dings in it.
Il set di coltelli ottimo, il ceppo un po’ deluso.
A great set of real Damascus steel knives very sharp and looking forward to a lifetime’s use.
Quality set of knives. Super sharp with premium feel. Block is stylish and heavy. Definitely worth the price
Great quality and value for money, I’m happy with these knives so far and think they’ll continue to do well. Arrived quickly and packaged well, very happy
The knife block has some cheap shapes on it but the knifes looks grea
Bin sehr begeistert von denn Messern habe den Schneidetest mit einem Stck Papier getestet kann das ganze Blatt mit nur einem Schwung schn gerade in der Mitte durchschneiden in der Luft natrlich und das sagt mir aus das die Kante super Scharf sind aufpassen sollte man aber mit dem Schleifstab da der rein nur fr Damast ist und kaputt geht wenn man ihn bei einem Stahlmesser verwendet aber das sollte logisch sein.
These are great knives, they have a good selection, they come with a sharpener & a quality heavy wooden holder.
Nice thick metal, little chance of them bending or breaking, you can see the many layers of metal running through them.
These are so sharp my chopping speed has actually reduced (& I am a trained chef) because I’m worried about cutting myself, these would cut through your fingernails & maybe even bone especially the serrated ones.
Termingerechte Lieferung, hervorragende Qualitt, extrem scharf. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.
There is a few issues with quality… the carving knife, santoku and chef’s knives have a couple of dings in the edges that you can feel when you run a finger down the flat of the blade and can be seen easily… not sure how QA missed this. The Damascus pattern of one of the santoku knife indents seems much deeper than the rest and can be seen readily by the lack of Damascus in this area.
That said I’ve had them two days and used the paring, bread and santoku knife so far and they are a dream to use. They slice effortlessly and keep an edge remarkably well. The bread knife is shockingly good, slicing ciabatta in one slice.
All knives are nicely balanced with strong, thin blades and a comfortable full handle. They are lovely to hold.
Overall they are lovely knives but the company might need to check it’s quality control… these are expensive knives to buy as a set and customers deserve a better assurance their knives meet higher price demands.
I am very happy with the set, the scissors were a surprise. Each knife passes the sharpness test. I will update this review after using for a few months and finding out how well they perform after I’ve tried to sharpen them. Definitely worth the money. The knife stand is the current colour of grey.
So, I had to convince myself to spend the money on knives however after using them for a few weeks I am delighted I did. They are razor sharp and make food preparation enjoyable.
Since buying these I have found myself planning different dishes that involve larger preparation as I enjoy it now! This alone has saved me some cash as I’m not wanting to order take-away.
Read the reviews as I bought these as a present for my husbands birthday. I did warn him that they was extremely sharp.. ouch off with part of his finger nail however he loves them ..
Avendoli ordinati nel periodo natalizio, ai sono fatti un po’ attendere ma ne valsa la pena! Molto soddisfatta
Nice looking and comfortable to use. Use with care though they’re very sharp
Great to use, they glide through raw meat and everything I’ve tried
Have used all the knives, easy to handle. They are insanely sharp and make short work of anything
Lovely set of knives nice and sharp beautifully crafted . I ordered them on a Sunday they were delivered on Wednesday quick delivery can’t not fault the company or the knives great buy
Really good quality set, super sharp, good weight and comfortable to hold, if you’re looking for a good value set of knives look no further!
There is no doubt that these knives are superb. Very sharp and slice through meat fruit and veg with minimal effort. However, on the kitchen scissor’s the clasp that holds them shut fell off on the first day and the QC obviously didn’t pick it up- I now have to repair it, which, for a 200 knife set I should never have to do!
Absolutely perfect knife set. Real quality edge and lovely balanced knives. Everything feels quality. The knife block is solid with a good weight to it. The steel is much better than anything i have used before.
Well these knives are definitely very sharp. Cut my fingers with one of them and had to go to the hospital to get stitches, so I’d be very careful when handling them, and do not keep them where children can easily grab them.
Detto questo e aggiunto che smanetto in cucina da tanti anni, quindi di coltelli ne ho utilizzati, ricevuto il pacco ne son rimasto un po deluso relativamente alla percezione che deriva dal maneggiarli.
Tagliano bene ma sono leggeri, sono “piccoli” rispetto ai coltelli solitamente utilizzati in cucina. Il peso non una caratteristica di seconda importanza per un coltello, principalmente per quelli destinati a tagliare carne, prosciutti, guanciali, pezzi grossi di formaggi con crosta dura tipo parmigiano, perch il peso aiuta ad affondare e a far lavorare meno il braccio.
Non sono solito fare resi, ma non me la sentirei di consigliarli come spesso faccio “senza dubbio alcuno”: in questo caso i dubbi mi restano.
Inoltre occhio perch, a differenza di quanto si percepisce dalla descrizione “Giapponesi”… sono fatti in Cina.
Beautiful knives with an incredible looking finish and an exceptional sharpness, strength. Great feel in the hand and a versatile range. The block itself is a great piece too. Very glad with this purchase.
Very very sharp, glide through meat and vegetables like a hot knife through butter.
Look amazing.
OK, they’re not your average kitchen knives, but they preform like mini samurai swords, fantastic set of knives
Brilliant set of knives that are great to handle and cut through things with great ease
Great quality knives, absolutely worth the investment for people wanting a legit set.
I would say these are the best knives I’ve had at home, so far I’ve used all the knives and they are sharp and easy to use, they feel they could last for a long time, but as I have only had them for a month time will tell
It would be nice if the handles were dishwasher proof but otherwise they are excelle
offert pour un anniversaire, couteau avec des lgers dfauts sur le manche, mais vu le prix, ca fait son travail
Worth the cash. Elegant and well-crafted, will last us at least twenty years – a sound investment.
so not only the knives are of high quality, but also the customer service.
highly recommended!!
J’ai offert cet ensemble de couteaux mais je n’ai pas encore le retour de l’utilisateur. Trs beau produit et trs complet.
Livr dans les dlais, beau matriel avec une trs belle finition. C’est bien simple j’en ai command un deuxime pour les vacances
Really nice knives, and block, food prep so much easier with my old hands
These knives are truly a piece of art! Very sharp & easy to use well balanced and makes food preparation so much easier!!
Highly recommended!!!
Nanfang brothers you’ve excelled with these knives.
Looks lovely on the countertop. Knives so sharp and easy to use. Would recommend
I really like this knife block set and it definitely looks expensive and fancy in my kitchen. The block itself is wooden and it does take up quite a bit of room so if you are short on worktop space then maybe this is something you need to think about.
The knives are exceptional quality very sharp. I have been putting them in my dishwasher and they’ve been coming out fine.
It comes beautifully packaged would also make a lovely housewarming gift or for gift for a wedding et cetera.
Although this is very good Quality I’m not quite sure it’s worth nearly 200. This is the reason I didn’t give it five stars just because of the pricetag at the current selling price at the moment.
The best knives I’ve ever owned. They are aesthetically lovely to look at. Easy to hold, weighted perfectly, they just feel right. Extremely sharp. Whether you’re carving meat, dicing raw chicken, cutting bread or preparing vegetables they cut through everything like butter. I’m so happy with these. You get what you pay for. Fabulous!
when i first bought these knives the wife was wary as they are not cheap -when they arrived and she first used them she understood that using these knives is a totally different experince .They are extremely sharp making carving and slicing so easy and very easy to hold
They are not cheap but they are worth every penny .
Incredibly sharp, nice solid heavy block, great to hold, I love these knives!
These Knives are everything we wanted we have spent lots of money on inferior knives these are worth every penny
These arrived in a Nanfang Brothers branded box with details on the box covering the knife set sizes along with intended use, details on the crafting of the steel used in manufacturing and additional information on knife care and guarantee. All the knives are inside their own internal box very well protected with card sleeves, tip protectors and separated by plastic covers; the main block for the knives is in its own internal box.
First impressions: the main block that holds the knives is made of wood and coated in a matt grey/black finish with the Nanfang Brothers embossed black and silver logo plate on the front, on the bottom it has four small rubber feet and it sits nice and stable on a flat surface, I do like the slimmer design of this taking up a reasonably small footprint, some other knife blocks are way too big if you have a small kitchen where space is at a premium. After unpacking the knives, kitchen scissors and sharpening steel I gave each one a really close look over to inspect the finishing for any flaws or defects and didn’t find any, the attention to detail seems immaculate and I like how the steel intertwines into the back matt finish of the handles. Each knife is razor sharp as you would and should expect and fits precisely into its designated slot in the block.
I have been using these since they arrived and am extremely happy with the quality, the set has a very good variety of knives and I have not found any need to reach for an alternative knife to perform any cutting as there seems to be a suitable knife for every task, the kitchen scissors are a useful and very handy addition being extremely sharp and able to tackle heavy duty tasks with ease.
Overall I think these are an exceptionally good set of knives, I like the block design being as compact as possible with a good tilt angle making removing and replacing the knives simple and safe, the quality and finishing of the knives is flawless and design very nice. I have a few other Japanese steel knives and the difference between a basic steel knife and a Japanese steel knife is huge, and in my opinion a justified and sensible investment due to their quality and longevity. I have given this set top marks as I really can’t find anything not to like about it.
NANFANG BROTHERS Damascus Steel Knife Set are a good-looking set of knives that are nicely presented in a heavy knife block. The knife block is heavy and the one thing I do like about it is the fact the holes which are sectioned to hold the knives safely are not closed in the bottom which allows air to flow through the knife block which helps prevent bacteria from growing in the block also prevent moisture causing damage to the block which can happen mainly because knives are placed in the block damp and therefore residue can lead to bacteria growth.
Regarding the actual knives, they are extremely sharp and each one glides through the food they are designed for.
I like the feel of each knife as they are amazingly comfortable to hold and do not take much force to cut through the toughest of food.
These are professional knives that are a pleasure to use in the preparation of food. They simply make food preparation a quicker and more pleasurable experience as they work so well and are so comfortable to hold. I like everything about them even the badge of honour which is placed in the front of the knife block, as it shows the quality and the fact that I am lucky enough to own a set of NANFANG BROTHERS Damascus Steel Knives.
Happy to recommend.
So far, so good. All knives very sharp – time will tell how easy that are to keep that way. Only niggle is the knife block which has a badge ‘Nanfang Brothers’ poorly placed on the front of it in a one sided wonky angle. Looks quite unprofessional hence the 4 star rating.
