Kai Pro 3 Piece Knife Set, Kitchen Essential Cutlery Set with Chef, Utility, and Paring Knives, From the Makers of Shun

We like them. They feel like quality. Nice feel.

These are an exceptional value, as all of KAI's mid-priced products are. They come extremely sharp out of the box, and are reasonably easy to maintain compared to harder stainless options or rust-prone carbon steels. They are reasonably stain/rust resistant, though I would advise against putting them through the dishwasher or leaving them to sit after cutting acidic fruits. These knives compare favorably against offerings from other companies that cost twice as much.

They came very sharp, well balanced and have been using them in a commercial kitchen off an on for a few months now and they're still sharp as the day they arrived. I will be buying adding more to complete the whole set

I use these knives for everything from cutting up fruits and vegetables to cutting up steak. I like that they’re nice and light also. Because I have small hands.

By all means not a professional set. Even under ideal cleaning/maintenance they show rust rather quickly and easily, which you can usually scrub off if you catch it quickly. Came out of the box extremely sharp and seem to be holding up pretty well. I like Kai Knives as a company so if these are up to par with their other products I don't expect to have to sharpen them often and they should last a long time so long as I can stay on top of keeping them dry directly after washing.
