Chicago Cutlery Cabrera 12-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought this yesterday. I love the look of this knife set.I got a fantastic deal at an outlet store.I would have liked the knife set in black or even red but it was only available in white.I bought it since it was a steal at $24.99 and Chicago cutlery has a great reputation yeah I know what a deal.It has a great pair of scissors that are well made and will be very useful with twine and cutting chives and scallions and a large sturdy knife sharpener that resembles a spit stick. It gives directions on the proper technique for using the sharpener so I am optimistic I will do this well.I love being able to put a nice edge on the knife.

The knives seem to be very light and my boyfriend commented "flimsy", but I don't think that is always an indication that the knives are of poor quality.The knife block is solid and sturdy, but I am not very fond of the aluminum piece that is placed over the top of the knife block as I feel this will require time to polish and keep it clean and shiney, it already shows some finger prints.Although the concept of aluminum or chrome on top helps to guide the knives into the slot and seems more compartmentalized, it will probably also get scratched alot and look ugly.

I used the paring knife to slice a tomato and it was nice and sharp.I see a few problems in the future with this set, 1) the white color handles will be hard to keep clean and I can see myself getting creative with keeping them clean, 2) the knives will also be hard to keep a nice shine on them since I saw watermarks on the knife after I cleaned it and had to buff it a bit before I returned it to the knife block 3) Since the metal is thin you must be gentle when sharpening or you could damage the blade.

Overall if you take good care of these knives and keep them clean and refrain from putting them in the dishwasher this could remain a great knife set for about 5 years.
