Good Value January 6, 2009
Darrel R. Gaskill (Iowa)
Very nice set of knives for the money. Sharp and ready to use right out of the box. Forget about the Omaha Steaks gift certificate though nothing with the shipment and nothing telling you how to get one.
 Very nice knife set January 6, 2009
J. Maldonado (NY, USA)
The knives are sharp and nice to use. I agree with the previous review that the set is not "pro" style, but nice enough for daily use at home. the only thing we were unhappy with is that the block looks cheap. The wood block slots where the knives can slide in for storage had little pieces of wood sticking out. I had to rinse the block, wash it down and then took a sandpaper wrapped around a stick to go in and smooth the slots.
Looks Great.. But where's my Omaha Rebate? January 3, 2009
Ms. Nancy L. Plemons
Just received my knife set and it looks great. I haven't used them yet. I was looking forward to Omaha Steaks but there was no information included in the shipment or on the order information. I won't be happy if I don't get my steaks.
Great value, seem to work well so far January 2, 2009
Kathryn Robertson Hammer (Iowa, USA)
I purchased these knives as a gift and the recipient is happy so far. The block looks nice and the knives are quite sharp. I have one Chicago Cutlery knife with the same type of handle and have been happy with how new it still looks even after a couple years of use. The mezzaluna and cheese knife trio are a nice bonus - haven't received any information about the Omaha Steaks gift certificate yet.
Complete for my family of five but not a pro set January 1, 2009

Can't really go wrong with this one.
These are heavy, well balanced, triple-riveted, forged knives with full tangs (metal fully extends into the handle) and black polymer handles. Besides the 8 steak knives, you get:
- 8" slicer
- 5.5" utility knife
- 7" bread knife
- 3.5" parer
- 5" boning knife
- 7.75" chef knife
- 6.75" Santoku
- 3" peeler
- kitchen shears (with bottle opener and... screwdriver?)
- a heavy solid wood block with sharpener
But... wait... there's more :). You get:
- 3 cheese knives
- Mezzaluna for chipping and mincing
And...
- and an $85 coupon that buys you Omaha steaks (I didn't get it and I'm still in conversations with the customer service)
And... if you're about to get married and you add Chicago Cutlery to your wedding registry they will send you a $10 paring knife.
This set is, of course, Made in China but it appears to be a good quality product. Clearly, it's not a 'pro' set but, for our family needs, it's probably the best price/quality combination - purchased as a Gold Box deal.
___________________________________________
Note: the $85 Omaha coupon was nowhere in the box and it's not clear what I need to do to get it. I contacted the Amazon customer service and, hopefully, I will able to post an update soon. Until then, the set gets 5 stars.
Update:
After some painful communications with Amazon's Cust. Service, I received the following a link to the gift certificate.

You can enlarge the image if you first SAVE the .PDF to your computer, load it back again, select EDIT, COPY FILE TO CLIPBOARD. You can then paste it on WRITE (it's much better than WORD) and then grab the lower corner of the picture and enlarge it. Then, you can print it. It's a pain.
Or, you can print the very small coupon directly off the PDF and maybe enlarge it on a copier.
You will need the usual: receipt, UPC bar code. Hopefully, Omaha will honor this offer. You have until early February to mail it to them.
