As others mentioned, the provenance is questionable. However, these knives are razor sharp, visually sharp, and have full tang. The balance and hand-feel are beyond anything in my home cook collection. The presentation in the minimalist box almost makes me want to frame them.My goodness, these are some quality knives. I hope I can do them justice.
I must say I didn't know what to expect with this knife set give where the origin of manufacture was. At first glance, I was drawn to their attractive design—a true blend of style and function. They feel even better exuding a quality that you can immediately feel. Straight out of the box, it was evident that they were sharp.Their impressive sharpness does demand careful handling, but performance is outstanding. They have a full tang which provides extremely good balance in your hand.These knives are a top-notch choice for anyone who values precision in their kitchen tools. These should last a very long time given the German steel used. Care and handling a must here. I certainly can recommend these for any kitchen including a chefs kitchen!
Beautiful knife set with a solid weight and sharpness to it. Cuts like a dream with very thin slices and precision. I wish this set came with a sheath or something to protect the knives, but I’ve been storing them in its box & washing/drying them immediately after use. Very happy to have these 2 in my arsenal.
I have recently remodeled my home kitchen and now am starting the remodel of the kitchen in my Jewelry Design Studio. I ordered these knives and after using them for the last several weeks, I know they will be the foundation blades in the new kitchen. the blade geometry is great on both knives. the blades are ground and beveled to an intense sharpness and the slicing ability of both knives is superb. They are hair whittling sharp and hold the edge very well in sustained use. The knives clean up easily and I have not found a job in food preparation that they did not excel at.
Kalavinka knives; the knives came nice and sharp. So far, they are easy to clean and cut nicely. These two sizes are perfect for most things I cut. I have cut raw chicken, and tough, cooked chicken. Through vegetables; cauliflower, asparagus, avocados. They seem versatile. They have a good weight and feel durable. I like the sleek design, but I’m not sure yet if I like the smaller handles. So far so good.
