Review on 🔪 Optimized 5-Piece Old Hickory Knife Set 705 by Ontario Knife Co. by Heidi Thompson

The only problem I had is the paring knife which I can't seem to get the right sharpness no matter how hard I try. I'm not a newbie to knife sharpening and tools and managed to put a razor blade on all the other blades in this set This is the best set of knives you will find for under $100 Rust on these knives is NOT a defect For those new to carbon knives , they will rust easily if not cared for properly. They must be washed immediately after each use. Don't even wait until dinner is served. Clean them with hot soapy water, then wipe dry immediately and store dry .Do not store with dishes that are semi-damp.Even this small amount of moisture will stain rust.I soaked mine in apple cider vinegar overnight and removed the lid cut off tall, narrow, cheap plastic water bottle. Carefully insert the knife into the bottle, point down. Fill the bottle to the handle of each blade, you can reuse the same bottle, and start with the shortest blade and remove it after soaking for 6 or more hours. Then insert the next longest knife and fill again up to the handle. If you overfill the handle, the handle will absorb the vinegar and become discolored. Once these blades are taken out of the soak, they turn almost black. Clean with soap and a sponge you don't plan to reuse, rubbing until the color stops changing. Apply a generous coat of olive oil to the wooden handles after they have dried from washing. If you need extra protection for your blades after a particularly thorough use, clean and take some warm and soft coconut oil and rub it into your blades. Coconut oil hardly spoils, and the thin coating prevents moisture from building up if you hang your knives on a wall-mounted magnetic stick like I did.
