Review on Calphalon 321 12 Piece Silver by Mary Crawford

This knife set looked good online. The claim to self-sharpening was great. When the knives arrived they were not pre-sharpened. When I buy a set of knives, I expect them to be perfectly sharp right away. Even when using sharpeners built into the shaft, these knives are not sharp. Auto-sharpening is a trick, not a feature. I was rather disappointed because I bought it as a Christmas present for my fiancee. A year later I use these knives, but I have to sharpen them with a knife and a steel sharpener before use. Save money and buy another set of knives as you will need to sharpen them anyway.
