We’ve had these knives for five years and two of them have broken. I dropped one on the floor and it broke completely in half. The other broke at the handle also. We only have hand washed these never in the dishwasher.

Dissatisfied
We got these to replace a cheaper set of knives and truely wish we just kept them. The blades have nicks in them and the blades have rust spots. They are always hand washed. The paring knife blade broke at the handle base. Overall dissatisfied with these knives. They are definitely not worth the money for the quality we have gotten.

Not holding up over time
I’ve had this set for about five years. Initially I really liked the knives, and it’s convenient to have the knife type stamped on the handle. But they are just not holding up. I had hoped that this brand would be one I would own for many years. But even with proper care, many of the knives have rust on them, and some of the larger knives have nicks in the blade. Very disappointing for a set of this price

Nice
Nice knife set. Needs sharpening quite often but comes with the sharpening tool. Steak knives are nice.
Nicks and chips in the blades
I have owned this set for almost 10 years and have been overall satisfied with the sharpness and durability of the knives!! However, there are nicks and chips in most of the knives in the set and I find that to be very uncharacteristic for a Calphalon product as the majority of products in our kitchen are Calphalon. I have never put them in the dishwasher and only hand wash them.

Great value!
I have had this knife set for 9 years and I still love it! A few of the knives have some rust spots but that could be from my husband who put them in the dishwasher once or twice. I feel terrible for those who have not had a good experience with this set because it has worked so well for me and I really enjoy them.

Don’t waste your money
I bought this set 2 years ago and much to my surprise, they are rusty and a couple of the blades actually have nicks in them from the rust. I have a 12 year old Kitchen Aid set that I use the same way and they haven’t started to rust at all! So disappointing. Never expected them to rust!

Love the knives after 8 years
We got these as a wedding gift 8 years ago and have never sharpened them (only honed). I never put them in the dishwasher either. They are still sharp and the handles are still in great condition. I use them daily! I don’t like the steak knives much, though. They are awful to hand clean.
