Review on Complete Your Kitchen With EatNeat'S 8-Piece Stainless Steel Chef Knife Set And Bamboo Block by Sameer Hilton

This is a nice, well conceived, budget knife set. This is a good option for a small kitchen with limited space and has a cutting board included that slides nicely into an integrated pocket that makes for overall compact and good use of space.The knives themselves are probably fine for someone that doesn't really care about knife quality which is most people, I think. They are light and seem decently balanced. The honing rod (incorrectly referred to as a sharpener) is terrible however. It has very aggressive grooves but mine is rife with imperfections that when attempting to use properly (I collect and restore knives and know how to use a honing rod), the knives bite in to the rod. It is completely unusable. If I were rating this just on the rod it would be a generous 1 star. So too bad that an otherwise thoughtfully designed set includes this piece of junk. But overall rating is based upon both the good (mostly) and this one major flaw and I can't deduct more than one star for this.
