High-quality knives I'm absolutely thrilled with the Explorer set! The santoku knife and chef's knife are both fantastic and allow me to slice through meats and veggies like butter. The bread knife is also excellent and slices through everything from crusty bread to juicy tomatoes. The wooden handles are beautiful and comfortable to grip, and the set comes in a sleek and stylish package that really impresses. The only downside is that I wish the explorer collection included steak knives as well. Overall, I highly recommend this set to anyone looking for high-quality knives that will elevate their cooking game.

Highly disappointed. I ordered my knives at the beginning of December as a gift. 3 of 5 were shipped and I was told then that the other two and knife block were out of stock. It would be 1-2 weeks. That was on the 13th. Then I was told "after January 2" but that I should have the knife block before Christmas still... Now we are on the 26th of December, still no more knives and the block came in today broken in half. I message and they said "we dont typically have customer service through Christmas" well thats wonderful because today is the 26th so whats the excuse now? These are not cheap. The quality of knife is actually really good... but customer service is absolutely terrible. I was told "can you actually check your emails" when I HAVE been checking my emails. NONE of them make sense or line up. So frustrating. ** UPDATE ** While I stand by my frustration for the way that my order was handled, I would like to update that the customer service team did reach out after my review and my complaints and they sent out a new knife block that arrive unbroken and an additional knife for the trouble I had. I finally received all of my knife set mid January. We are happy with the quality of the knives. It was just a disaster when ordering.

Ordered 2 knives to try something… Ordered 2 knives to try something different because I love cooking. The 1st one is the santoku explorer series, I love the shape, the weight, the look , the handle is comfortable and it is very sharp. The 2nd one I purchased was the 8" chef knife explorer series also. Also very nice and and sharp. Both knives came individually in a nice box and shopping was very fast considering that I'm on the opposite coast. Cost was very affordable.I recommend this product

I bought a few different knife sets… I bought a few different knife sets from the Forged Blade and these are incredible. The style, quality and sharpness are second to none. Katie Smith from customer service was extremely helpful in making sure I was totally satisfied with my purchases and I will be buying more. Job well done!

Excellent quality and top notch… Excellent quality and top notch customer service. I am a repeat customer and recently ordered the 3 Piece Chef Knives set.The cleaver was a bit loose at the handle. When I reached out, Katie responded back in less than 24 hours and shipped out a replacement cleaver within 48 hours of my original email! If you’re in the market for quality cutlery, Forged Blade is the only place to shop.
