We received our first set of Chicago Cutlery knifes (didnt include steak knifes) 30 years ago from my husbands aunt as a wedding gift. They had wooden handles. We still have them! Theyre still sharp and I still prefer the paring knife over every one Ive tried. In fact I even bought a second paring knife - just in case! On a lark when I saw this set, 18 piece Insignia Steel Knife Set, on the Deal of the Day (almost two years ago) I bought it for my husband for a Christmas gift. Hes gotten into cooking and I thought it would look nice setting out on the counter. I think it may have been his favorite gift and one we use constantly. The knifes stay very sharp - still havent needed sharpening two years later! We never put any of them in the dishwasher (per manufacturer instructions) and they have never needed polishing (other than hand drying) or any other care. Everytime we use the steak knifes with guests they are amazed at the sharpness of the blade. They dont need to be serated. They sliced through everything. My nephew is getting married in just a few weeks and Ive decided to ignore his wedding registers and buy him a set like ours. I know he and his new wife will use them for years! Somehow seems fitting to pass on the tradition.
