Skandia – Talvi – 13 Piece Block Knife Set

Update:I have now used all the knives multiple times, and I haven’t had any issues at all. Still sharp, still sturdy. Excellent buy.This is a stunning knife set. I decided to go ahead and buy it even though reviews (on other sites) said they weren’t well-made, and I am so happy I did. I haven’t used the bird’s beak, slicing, or bread knife yet, but I will update this review when I do.

So far I replaced twice came defective and seems poorly made. I have not tried them or washed them yet so I cannot comment on the rusting. I will be updating this.

I do love these knives and bought them bc they were on Oprah's favorite things last Christmas. However, I did not begin using them until September. Though they look sleek and take up little counter space, the wood block has cracked where the slots are for the knives. It is not falling apart or broken, but the crack down the top does not look good. Though the knives are good quality the rest is lacking

This is the second set I bought that the block for the knives was cracked. I let the first one go, but this one is a gift, so I am sending it back. They do make it easy to return though. UPS will come pick it up. Hopefully the next one will be better. It is a beautiful set.

Nice knives! Good weight.

Love the look of the set and the knives are great to use, well worth the $$. Very happy customer

Plastic handles, very poor quality. Was embarrassed to give as a gift. Had to return

Great weight and sharpness.
