The handles on these look really cheap. I've read some other reviews claiming they are pretty light and unbalanced.
Can anyone who owns these confirm of deny that?

dontreallycare2I didn’t buy this set but I have the 8 inch chefs knife and I love the grip and balance. Not the prettiest kife but the feel and edge retention is excellent for me.

dontreallycare2We have acquired our Victorinox Fibrox knives individually and love them all. The handles are excellent and are NSF approved. You would be surprised at how many butcher's shops use these knives. The price is excellent but I think you might like the longer 12" bread knife better and I don't know how much use you will have for the long carving knife. They stay sharp and are reasonably easy to hone and sharpen as needed.

Someone mentioned below that these shears may not be Victorinox made. Zooming in, they do not seem to have the same branding, and I can't tell what brand they are. Can anyone who's bought this set confirm the quality of the shears?

I'm a pit-master in training. After entering a couple of KCBS competitions, and learning from official pit-masters I realized I needed to start to invest in good knives. I had previously purchased the similar by victorinox boning and paring knives separately and they have been excellent. I needed a better chef's knife, but have wanted the Vic granton slicing knife. It was recently available on a different drop so I joined that, but I've used the one from this set on various meets and I couldn't be more pleased. I expect that the Granton will give me better slices when cutting very tender shoulders and brisket, but even this one produces great results.
If you're considering a new set or just a couple I highly recommend this set.
Keep in mind however your cutting board is crucial for the longevity of your knife. Go with hard wood (end grain if you can afford it) like maple and walnut, bamboo for affordability and evo friendly (I prefer those verified to be formaldehyde free), and lastly plastic (I use one plastic for raw poultry and one for other raw meets).

Does anyone know what the warranty on these knives are? Trying to figure out how long it lasts for/ if there is one.

Bwrtb17I'm a retired meat cutter, did that to put myself through college. I still own and use one of the Fibrox knives in this kit alongside a boning knife I bought during my apprenticeship - bought in 1985, alongside a couple of Forschner knives with Granton edges (years before they were called Granton edges...).
I earned my engineering degrees and still use my Fibrox knives daily. No-brainer purchase. I wouldn't worry about a warranty outside of defects with these blades.

Ditto. My Dad, also retired meat cutter, looks for these used to save a few bucks and then rehones them at home. He has been using Victorinox fibrox since before I was born.

Wow, there's a whole lot of mental masturbation by self-proclaimed internet experts over the use of a word.
But hey, I'll play along. So, if I rub my knife against this "honing steel" an infinite number of times, my knife will not have any metal removed? Yeah, sure. Now, stop fighting over whose wanker is smaller. You're both tiny.

Sir-whackenheimerIt's not about whether metal is removed or not. It's about being a sufficient tool to "sharpen" a knife, which a honing steel wont do. You can't get a completely even stroke each time, you can't feel for a burr, you can't tell which grit you are working with... it just doesn't make sense to call it a sharpening steel when that's not what it is.

I own this knife set and picked it up from eBay for $110 using a 20% discount code. This Isn't a bad deal and for everyday workhorse knives these are wonderful. Relatively low maintenance, dish washer safe, and they hold their edge ok. If taken care of properly these will last you a lifetime.
Now pertaining to my comment on the edge if you compare edge retention to any knife set in this price range it wins. If anyone is curious forschner uses a proprietary Steel blend of stainless steel that makes the chromium much smaller than most stainless steel mixtures which increases Edge retention. Unfortunately adding chromium to steel makes the steel soft but is what gives steel it's stainless properties. Removing the chromium yields much harder steels which will sharpen to a Razors Edge and will retain that edge for longer but you then run the risk of oxidation/rust.
I highly recommend these as everyday work horses but if you work in a commercial kitchen or are in a position where you're constantly using a knife I highly suggest investing in a carbon steel knife. As long as you clean and dry the knife and aren't abusing it and using it like its something from your toolbox you will love it and it will last you a lifetime. Keep in mind these knives are an investment and one good knife will cost you the price of this entire set so when I say its an investment I literally do mean it.
I use this along with my Victorinox Knives at home. I purchased this as my workhorse when working in a commercial kitchen having to hand slice fruits and vegetables for a sandwich line and salad bar for a restaurant seating 160ish people. I used this thing 6 days a week for 3 years and the stainless cladding gives you the best of both worlds so I can't recommend this enough if your wanting the sharpness of a carbon steel knife while having the rust protection of a stainless. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/kohetsublue1.html

$165 on Amazon, so a decent deal. Granted, I do have the chef's knife already, but there are ways that having two would be handy.
