The appeal of the knives was what… The appeal of the knives was what caught our attention, and the price seemed good. I'm not someone that knows anything about knife weight and whatever other characteristics people care about, so I can't leave an educated review on the effectiveness of the knives; however, what they did do is make me want to cook more, and actually do it well, and those are two qualities of cooking I've never been inspired to improve at. I don't know why having a few of these knives in my kitchen would make such a difference, but it's gotten me reading books, which is a feat in itself. Thanks Forged Blade, you make awesome stuff!

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

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.

Best knives I bought for my wife… Best knives I bought for my wife unexpectedly she passed away three days before Christmas never got too enjoy her latest gifts! It all started with your kleever! They stay sharp are awesome for cutting vegetables and onions! Easy touch up good to go! The best nothing sticks to blade!

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.
