Knife Set - Swiss Army Field Dressing Kit, 7-Piece Kitchen Knife Set, Kitchen Knives for Butcher/BBQ with Fibrox Handles, 10" Honing Steel and Case - Black

Very nice quality knifes comes in a nice case with sheaths. Easy to use grab n go tool that works well. Great value. Easy to clean. Very sharp!

So I bought these for production in a meat department. This is the first new knife set I have bought, so take my review with a grain of salt. I will review each part of the set separately. I will not mention in each individual description that each knife is razor sharp, they sliced paper easily and also gave a great shave on my arm. Cimeter (Top knife pictured): This knife is useful only for large subprimals because of it's bulk. I have used it on top rounds, bottom rounds and top butts with absolutely no problem. Feels solid in the hand and the handle has a great grip. Breaking Knife, 8" Steak Knife (Second Knife pictured): This is the knife I have always favored, it's size is good all around for handling large subprimals and for cleaning up your smaller pieces. Feels like an easier-to-control cimeter. Boning Knife (Third knife pictured): This one is great, very useful for taking silver skin off smaller roasts and primals, and would probably be great for filleting smaller fish. This knife is semi-flexible though, so it's not something I prefer to use when cleaning up my mess into stew chunks or stir fry because the tip is constantly bending all over the place. I have not used this knife much at all, other than for removing the skin off some fish. I keep a second stiff boning knife that serves every other purpose, though. Paring Knife (Fourth knife pictured): This 3 inch blade is awesome, but it serves no purpose in my set. I keep it around the kitchen because it's much better for peeling fruit or opening tough packages than for use in a meat processing environment. A nice bonus that Victorinox probably threw in just so they could say that they're giving you five knives. Fillet Knife (Fifth knife pictured): Excellent for filleting salmon, which is the only use it has seen. It's a semi flex knife as well, so again I do not use it on the meat block. It's good to keep around just in case, but considering that this set is supposed to be a field dressing kit, it's good that it's included. Steel (Second to last item pictured): I will say that prior to purchasing this set that I figured that the included steel would probably be mediocre, so I purchased a separate ceramic steel at the same time that I bought this bundle. This steel is a medium grit, has a bit of heft to it, and nothing to call home about, but it does align your blade. It will do it's job but I suggest buying a better steel if you're going to be using this set for production. Bag (Last item pictured): I love the bag! The bag is basically one large knife holder that zips up once, and as you roll it up into a bundle you have one large and one small pocket, room enough for some small accessories like a steel, box opener, etc. I am able to fit my standard knife scabbard, the cimeter, breaking knife, boning knife, my other boning knife, ceramic steel, and box cutter snuggly into the bag. It also has a shoulder strap if you want to use it. Overall I am happy with this set. I have used Victorinox knives in the past though, and they are excellent production knives for the cost. Especially for the cost of this entire set, I feel that $100 and prime shipping makes this a no-brainer if you are looking for a starter set. If there was one thing I could change about this set, it would be to get rid of the steel, paring and fillet knives and give the remaining knives a granton edge. But then this set would no longer be a complete field dressing kit, and likely not cost $100. :) I have only owned this set for a week, but I will update this review in six months or so and give any additional details. If you're reading this Victorinox, release a specialty meat cutter's set, with granton edge knives, a scabbard and the bag, and you will make some money!

great set

Very sharp knives.

Highly recommend if you cut your own meat. These knives are incomparable to any others I've tried.

Great knife set I'm a butcher works great

I used to be professional meat cutter in high volume store and these are what I used every day. I am very pleased to have a full set again. I will eventually add the 10" Granton edged knife to this set, as well as the curved bonning knife and I will be set to take on any kind of cutting task there is. Once you've used the best ( and these are the best) it is frustrating to use anything else. If you are buing these i suggest that you spend $10 more and get a meat hook--it makes cutting so much easier and might even save a finger. If you truely want these to last a lifetime get a 3 block, oil bath sharpening stone. It's not that hard to learn to use it. Electric sharpeners eat knives--even the realy good ones like these. I see some of the negative reviews complain about the "sharpener" in this set...it is not a sharpener it is a smooth polished steel used to true up the edge after heavy use. I used these knives 8 hours a day 6 days a week for 10+ years and only wore out 2 or 3 of the boning knives. The big knives could go weeks with only few swipes on a superfine stone or steel.

Would buy agin

Love these knives. Great quality. They stay sharp, are comfortable to use, and are easy to handle.
