Review on πŸ”ͺ Optimized 5-Piece Old Hickory Knife Set 705 by Ontario Knife Co. by Lisa Charlton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If you expect fine cutlery in immaculate condition look elsewhere

These knives are exactly what they should be; primitive knives with a carbon steel wooden handle. If you want beautiful pieces of immaculate Expect cutlery look elsewhere I never write a review until I have had enough time to use the product and I absolutely love these knives I bought a set for my brother and he loves them too However these are require Knives need special care If you want your knives to be razor sharp they will need to be sharpened like most knives, however they are very easy to sharpen It is a good idea to lubricate the handles with food grade mineral oil from time to time and keep the blades dry. I constantly struggle with my teenagers to keep these knives pristine they like to use knives as they are very sharp throw them but then in the sink, where they rust very quickly due to moisture. I was able to easily remove any rust with Bar Keepers Friend, which is available at most grocery stores. My knives have started to develop a beautiful patina which only makes them more attractive to me. I live in an 1820's farmhouse and these knives suit me perfectly. They are essential tools in my kitchen and I find that the extra care they require is part of their charm. If you understand and accept the qualities of these knives before you buy them, you will not be disappointed. Five stars everywhere.

Pros
  • 3.25" paring knife
