Joseph Joseph Elevate Knives Carousel Set with Rotating Knife Block, 6-Piece

Fabulous Joseph Joseph knives!
I bought this exact same set on Woot for half the price it is here when it was the home woot of the day, and I love them. First of all, these knives are super sharp. As I am a very clumsy cook, my hands can attest to their sharpness. :P Another nice thing is the coating which makes them VERY easy to wipe off. Nothing sticks to these suckers at all.

I was half expecting the carousel to be flimsy, so I was pleasantly surprised. It is put together well and holds the knives firmly in place. There is also a little lip on the outer edge that helps with that. If you're like me, clumsy, then you tend to cut yourself when you venture into the knife drawer. This keeps that from happening.

I threw away all of my mismatched knives a couple days after receiving this in the mail. I love them so much that if anything ever happens to them that I would gladly pay this price for them.

Clever solution - can function smoothly under upper cabinets
The design of the knife block works great for me. I had a traditional block, angled, but putting the knives back into the block 'sawed' the wood slots and dulled the knife edges constantly, inserting the knives with the back of the shank facing in didn't work either - it felt unsafe to pull knives up and out with the sharp edge facing up.

I like to cook, I use every knife in a block, but I am not a knife snob, honestly, knives that are too sharp are a hazard for me with phones ringing, tv on, hubby coming home etc (I have the scars to prove it). These knives might not stand up to the gold standard of super sharp knives, but for me to use domestically they are pretty darn good.

You know how an over-ripe tomato can get slightly squishy and the skin feels leathery and hard to slice? Not a problem with these knives, they just slice right through.

I love, love, love, the rotating aspect, I can turn the block to access a knife fast, and because the knives...

THANK YOU!!!!
These knives couldn't have come at a better time for my girlfriend and I. We like to cook a lot, and I've been using the same old knife I bought years ago. Without a proper set, I've been using it for everything (much to my displeasure), and now - being able to use this set - I'm able to use the right knife for a specific job. The knives are very well made, with an attractive dark metal, and the magnetic carousel makes me feel comfortable leaving it out on the countertop; I never have to worry about them. ...LOVE this product, and for the price, you get more value than you would elsewhere. I'll be back, Joseph Joseph line!!
