The block is very attractive and substantial. The scissors come apart for cleaning and they are substantial enough for chicken wings. I like the serrated blades on the steak knives because I would otherwise have to sharpen them frequently. The knives are sized well for most uses and the handles are more comfortable than I thought they might be.The knife edges needed to be steeled out of the box. If you don't know how to steel a blade, instructions are included with the set. After steeling, the knives cut well. I don't remove review stars for this kind of initial setup maintenance because it ought be be done with any knife set out of the box like this.The handles are hollow and the blades are thinner than some other quality brands I've worked with, so the knifes are quite light in the hand. This concerned me at first. But the balance of the chef's knife is right were the blade meets the handle, making the knife easy to use. There is more deflection when using the chef's knife than with some other knife sets, but it is very minor. The deflection in the carving and boning knives actually increases their useability. So the lightness of the handle is offset by the lightness of the blade for balance and speed in making cuts. I will continue to keep a couple knifes around for tougher chopping chores, but these will serve quite well for most prep in my kitchen.","image_urls":["https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71FOKew9ApL.jpg","https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71M0xR2-1wL.jpg","https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71OLHOPjRuL.jpg","https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71cYl3g-ivL.jpg","https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71mRmcXVtXL.jpg"],"show_image":true,"star_rating":5,"verified_review":false,"by_shop_owner":false,"created_ts":"2022-11-18 00:28:13+00:00","video":null,"user_name":"C.

They have a teethed section and a non teethed section, so you can control how you want to cut the meat. If its a tough cut, use the riveted section, and for melt-in-your-mouth or softer cuts, use the non riveted portion of the knives.I have been using iMarku knives for a while and I will say that they are definitely a great value. I\u2019m also impressed they offer a 1 year warranty.

This knife set is great value compared to buying individual knifes. The knifes are very sharp and the quality is great. It comes with a variety of knifes that will cover every need in your kitchen.The wooden block looks great on your countertop and provides good storage for your knifes. It comes neatly packaged and has a one year warranty. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a good quality knife set for a very good price.","image_urls":["https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/B1eaguZ5J9S.jpg","https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/B1g+qeD6Z+S.jpg","https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/B1ulfg5sGgS.jpg","https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/C1BCODuZAvS.jpg","https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/C1XBLoweWfS.jpg","https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/C1ykQGQnY7S.jpg"],"show_image":true,"star_rating":5,"verified_review":true,"by_shop_owner":false,"created_ts":"2021-04-27 00:55:16+00:00","video":null,"user_name":"Vara G.","user_image_url":null,"comment":null,"resolved_message":null,"custom_fields":[],"region":null,"language":null,"is_foreign":false,"source":"Amazon","image_urls_optimised":["https:\/\/opinew.imgix.net\/https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2FB1eaguZ5J9S.jpg?fit=max\u0026h=450\u0026orient=0\u0026s=5b9e00aea5ad1cf0b2c8ad6b82ccc2e4","https:\/\/opinew.imgix.net\/https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2FB1g%2BqeD6Z%2BS.jpg?fit=max\u0026h=450\u0026orient=0\u0026s=680655701009031624a01d5fe7996658","https:\/\/opinew.imgix.net\/https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2FB1ulfg5sGgS.jpg?fit=max\u0026h=450\u0026orient=0\u0026s=abc585f6b1d63b0eb4fadc439e6b4782","https:\/\/opinew.imgix.net\/https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2FC1BCODuZAvS.jpg?fit=max\u0026h=450\u0026orient=0\u0026s=2c390847d7500a9682e55e651680efb8","https:\/\/opinew.imgix.net\/https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2FC1XBLoweWfS.jpg?fit=max\u0026h=450\u0026orient=0\u0026s=88c037938d8194622ea1cfc0219361d7","https:\/\/opinew.imgix.net\/https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2FC1ykQGQnY7S.jpg?fit=max\u0026h=450\u0026orient=0\u0026s=4055eb48781ace0473c18ea417884951"],"product_name":"16-Piece Japanese Knife Set with Block | Best Knife Set 2022 | imarku","product_url":"https:\/\/imarku-us.myshopify.com\/products\/16-piece-japanese-knife-block-set"},{"id":9595190,"body":"This knife has been my \u201cdaily driver\u201d for almost 4 years now. For less than $20, I definitely feel like I got my money\u2019s worth. I am nowhere near a professional but definitely a higher-level home cook and I think a good chef knife in this size range is the #1 most important tool to have. If you are looking for something much better than you can get off the shelf at Walmart or Target, but can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to spend 5-10x as much on a high-end brand, I would definitely recommend this one. So...why a review after 4 years? Well to be honest, I\u2019m retiring this guy and splurging on something new and fancier but I feel like he deserves recognition for serving me well for all this time. I would always reach for this one over another my husband gave me as a gift that was around $100. This is a Japanese-style knife which is thinner and lighter, and I\u2019ve come to determine I prefer a heavier \u0026 beefier Western knife with a little more curve to the blade. Also, I\u2019ve been bringing this one to a cutlery shop to have it professionally sharpened every 2-3 months which isn\u2019t a huge deal, but I\u2019m just ready for a higher quality steel that will hopefully hold an edge a bit longer. In closing, if you are someone looking for an entry-level \u201creal\u201d knife, this may very well be the best bang for the buck out there.","image_urls":[],"show_image":true,"star_rating":4,"verified_review":false,"by_shop_owner":false,"created_ts":"2021-04-12 00:50:51+00:00","video":null,"user_name":"Christina","user_image_url":null,"comment":null,"resolved_message":null,"custom_fields":[],"region":null,"language":null,"is_foreign":false,"source":"Amazon","product_name":"Best Japanese Knife Set 2022 | 16-Piece Knife Sets with Removable Block | imarku","product_url":"https:\/\/imarku-us.myshopify.com\/products\/16-piece-japanese-knife-set-removable"},{"id":9595669,"body":"Advertised as sharp, durable and well-balanced; pretty much a true statement.
