Love these! I have the red ones. They go through the dishwasher and we use them daily. They hold up well.I bought these after losing 2 knives from a more expensive set made in France. Looking at them, you cannot see a difference. The blade is very similar in sturdiness. However, it does NOT cut as well. There seems to only be a single edge on this set. The one from France was double edged. The one from France cost $100 so, comparatively speaking, this is a nice set for the money.Really liked these knifes more than the IKEA. I bought first the Ikea 6 piece Steak knife set which had good reviews, I should have read the bad ones too. Just like one other person said " The IKEA SHEDS THE STEAK" . I always try the peeling potato challenge and that way I know if they will be good steak knifes.As soon as I got the IKEA set I tried the potato and I told my husband I think this is not going to work. Then we had dinner and although they do cut steak it was not as suppose to. I then returned the IKEA and ordered these. As you can see on the picture, try to zoom the picture where the serrated part of this knife is, then go to the IKEA steak knife picture and zoom it too, compare and you will see what I am talking about.The serrated of IKEA has like a zig sag type of shape on the serrated part which makes the knife not good for cutting ( each line of the serrated blade is apart from each other), this one instead has a different style serrated style, it has one line next to each other and that is how it should be. I have had them for 2 months and there is no stains or rusting on them. I wash all my dishes by hand maybe that is why. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I overall give it 4 stars, but give it 5 comparing it with other of the cheaper brands. Before returning the IKEA set I had to return another set, so this was my 3rd and last. Finally got something I wanted.I used to find the 6 steak knife blocks all the time. Couldn't find in stores so thank goodness for Amazon. This set is cheerful and bright as well as useful and handy. Mom wanted to keep them so just ordered a 2nd set for myself.I am so incredibly happy I found these steak knives from Laguiole. I had been searching for a reasonably priced set of pearl-handled Cutco knives but couldn’t justify the cost. So, when the holidays rolled in, I bought two sets of these white-handled Laguiole knives to use for holiday dinners I hosted,As you can see in my photos, the quality is excellent and while they’re not the same size as my Cutco knives, they’re a tiny fraction of the cost and are much, much sharper. I know they’ll last me a long time if I take care of them.These Laguiole knives are beautiful and well-made. I got a few compliments on them at Christmas dinner because they really are striking to look at.I wouldn’t hesitate to buy these. Bonus: you get a cute little wooden knife block for these if you’d like to display them on your counter.After discovering this style and Laguiole brand of knives in a restaurant in France two years ago, I came home and searched them out on the internet and was excited to find these reasonably-priced ones on Amazon!! These Flying Colors knives are lightweight, which is so comfortable to use, and super-sharp with fine (not clunky) serrations that cut anything on your plate smoothly and easily. There's a little Laguiole honeybee logo 'platform' on the knife that you place your forefinger onto to put pressure when you cut instead of depending on heaviness of a knife. These are WONDERFUL. I've given the 'dressier' stainless ones to my friends who have a lot of stainless in their kitchens and the fun multicolor ones to my family and friends who like bright colors and more casual. Everyone raves about these! I don't put mine in the dishwasher, because you shouldn't anyway with knives since they would clank against other utensils and that could dull any knife. These even come in a compact wood block holder but instead I keep my knives in my silverware drawer. Love, love, love them!These are nice knives for the money, but the glowing reviews gave me unrealistic expectations. The reason why I reduce the rating is because the look and feel is a little cheap once you get your hands on them. I really don't see the point in having a knife block for plastic glossy handled knives. They would make more sense in a kitchen drawer. They really are not for show, and I would rather use higher quality knives for guests, although they are great for every day use. They are plastic and thus incredibly light, so do not expect a heavy sturdy feeling knife. Still, they are very sharp, they work well and have a decent handle. I wish they had used the wood from the block and made nicer handles, but the fact is that they are dishwasher safe and they come as advertised. I would never pay the list price of $45 for them, but at $15, this is a hard to beat deal. One reviewer says the blade had trouble with an apple. This didn't make any sense to me, but upon picking one up, I see that the blade is thin and flexible, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is subject to bend under pressure. As a true steak knife, I would rate these fairly low, but they are a great option if you want a knife that isn't as robust as a steak knife, but gets the job more than done when a butter knife just won't cut it.Coltelli taglienti, resistenti e belli da vedere. Il manico è in legno e per questo motivo troverete tante recensioni che criticano il prodotto per via dello scolorimento del manico di legno. Terrorizzati da quanto leggevamo abbiamo acquistato a più riprese il prodotto per verificarne la validità nel tempo ed oggi con un set di coltelli da 24 pezzi da circa 3 mesi, possiamo dire che lo scolorimento lamentato è un idiozia. E' legno pertanto con il tempo e i lavaggi cambia aspetto rimanendo bello, saldo alla lama ed efficiente. Per chi non dovesse tollerare le diverse sfumature dei manici dei coltelli (stante il materiale naturale utilizzato !! ) non è consigliato l'acquisto. Per chi invece ama il legno ed è cosciente che con il tempo, l'aria, l'acqua ed il tempo cambia le sue sfumature... è consigliatissimo!!!Fabulous
