I’m really impressed with this knife set! Every knife in the kit feels solid and well-balanced, and they come seriously sharp right out of the bag. The high carbon steel gives them that satisfying weight and durability you just don’t get with cheaper sets.I’ve used them for everything from trimming meat to chopping veggies, and they handle it all easily. The boning and cleaver knives are especially awesome for BBQ — they cut through tougher cuts like butter. The Santoku and Nakiri are great everyday kitchen knives too, so the set feels really versatile.The accessories are actually useful, and the carrying bag is a huge plus. It keeps everything organized and makes it super easy to take the knives camping or out to the grill without juggling loose pieces.If you cook a lot or just want a solid, affordable set that feels a step above the usual kitchen knives, this is a great buy. Totally worth it!
This knife set is razor sharp straight out of the roll. The six high-carbon steel knives — from Nakiri to cleaver — deliver precision and weight that feel right at home in a pro kitchen. The hammered finish adds style, and the pakkawood handles are ergonomic and well-balanced.At $169.99 (and time it right with a coupon to get even lower), it’s a phenomenal value for the blade quality alone. The accessories are a mixed bag — the scissors and opener are fine, but the included honing steel is a weak link. If you’re serious about edge retention, swap it for a ceramic rod and you’re golden.Five stars for craftsmanship, edge retention, and price-to-performance ratio. A chef-worthy set that doesn’t break the bank.
The XCHIEF PRO Chef Knife Set arrived professionally packaged and free of damaged.This set of knives is something the average aspiring home Chef/Cook will probably only have to buy once in a lifetime, providing they've been cared for properly. The set is well thought and more than satisfies most any cutting need.There're are two amazing Chef knives The 8" Chef Knife and a 6.7" Serbian Chef Knife.The 7" Japanese Nakiri knife, for chopping and mincing of fruits and vegetables.The 7" Japanese Santoku knife, designed to handle a variety of tasks like chopping, slicing, and dicing meat, fish, and vegetables.Then there's the 5.7" Boning Knife and the 5" Utility Knife.The Poultry Shears, (they work great on a turkey)Each knife is hand forged from a single piece of heat-treated/hardened High Carbon Steel and has a full single piece blade, bolster and tang with a quality hardwood handle. Right out of the box, as soon as you feel the weight of these knives and take one look at the edge, you'll have no doubt these are high quality cutlery.I used the Poultry Shears and the Chef's Knife earlier to spatchcock (butterfly) a Turkey for brining, The removal of the backbone and splitting the breastbone took all of five minutes. I admit this is normally an arduous task, but not this time.While I'm not a professional Chef, just a guy who really likes to cook. I really don't need nor care to spend hundreds of dollars on high end knives that most of the time will set unused as these will be my personal knives and will I'm sure will last me for year to come if not a lifetime.Why the product description is calling this set "Camping/BBQ Knives" is beyond me, this is not an outdoor set of knives, by any means. I presume it's a cultural (lack of understanding) issue on the part of the seller. It honestly does the set a disservice and cheapens an otherwise quality set of home cutlery. These are meant to be used hand washed and put away.While I do appreciate the nice storage case I wish the seller sold the Wooden Counter Block separately, it would be nice to have both.
This is a very nice set and is very sharp. The whole set in the leather bag was much larger than I was expecting! The sharpening stick is a must. That can greatly extend the use and sharpness of your knives for years! I was surprised to see a mosaic pin in the handle. It is a nice touch that you typically don't see on most commercial knife sets.My only complaint is the chef knife doesn't slide all the way down into its leather pocket and leaves a bit of the back of the blade exposed. The snaps are a little snug, but hopefully that will stretch a little over time.Really surprised by the size and quality of this set for this price!
First off, I have to tell you if there were more stars to give this Pro Knife set would get them all! I am so amazed at the workmanship that went into this Carbon Steel set of knives! Each one has a beautifully made handle, it is comfortable for even my small hands to hold and yet I am sure every hand would fit. Each knife is so well balanced! I comes with a beautiful cleaver and a set of boning sheers. They are so sharp, and you can tell each blade is thick and will be durable. To prevent rust, wash them and dry them and put them in the beautiful case provided.The case is made of a thick material and the workmanship is fine, the stitches are even and each knife is strapped in with a brass brad attaching strap. It rolls up nicely. It's a fabulous set of Pro Knives!
We are always looking for a really good set of knives, so I was curious when these popped up on the screen. XChief Pro, I’d never heard of them and the other styles under the same brand had good reviews, so I thought it was worth a try. At $169, I was unsure, tho I know really super branded knives come it a much higher price point. This will be a bonus if they stay sharp and stay sturdy.Out of the box, they are well packaged, a lot of care taken to make sure they arrive in good condition. Each wrapped in plastic, board, with point protections, and placed in molded foam.They start out very sharp. They are all well balanced at the hilt, which is heavy to help offset the weight of the blade. The hilt is also wider than most, which is great for larger hands like mine.Blades are super shiny, and they hold that shine as long as we wash and dry them as they should be, and not in a dishwasher.We just got these in house, it will take some usage before I can assess how long they stay sharp and hold their edge. I will update as needed. So far tho, very happy with this. Add some steak knives of the same quality and this would be a complete set in our opinion.
These knives are dangerously sharp. I’m a self-confessed klutz and actually hesitated before my first cut! From the hefty cleaver for breaking down chicken to the precise Nakiri for veggies, every blade feels heavy but perfectly balanced and ready for serious work. The set includes everything: Santoku, boning, carving, shears, and even a honing rod, all tucked into a gorgeous leather-and-canvas roll that’s perfect for storage or taking to BBQs and camping trips. Yes, it’s an investment, but the quality screams “worth every penny.” Pro tip: Keep these locked away from kids , they’re no joke! If you cook often or love outdoor grilling, this set will elevate your game. Highly recommend!
My husband was so thrilled to open this set up. He already tried out 2 of the knives and was very happy with them. These feel lighter than the santoku chef's knife we currently have but these feel great in hand and well balanced. I was most excited by the set of super functional kitchen shears. The carrying case is very helpful for storage, protects the blades. As far as care, carbon steel requires extra maintenance, so never put in the dishwasher, always hand wash & dry immediately and oil occasionally to prevent rust. I'll update my review as we use all of the knives - but so far, so good!
These knives are amazing. They are professional grade, and are very sharp. Each knife is full tang and they are balanced in the hand. This set includes a cleaver, as well as every other knife that could be needed for food preparation:: 8" Chef Knife, 7" Santoku Knife, 7" Nakiri Knife, 6.7" Serbian Chef Knife, 5.7" Boning Knife, and 5" Utility Knife. The set also includes poultry shears and a honing tool. They are made of highest quality high carbon steel (which means they stay sharp longer, but take a bit more work to keep from corrosion). The set also includes a leather case so the knives can be transported if necessary, and to keep them safe. They are reasonably priced for the quality and the fact that these are knives that can last a lifetime.
This set is amazing. Handles are sturdy and well made. Each nice has significant weight and a sharp edge. The cleaver in particular has a balanced grip. Sometimes cleavers are too heavy for me to use for a long time.I particularly appreciate the carrying case. The material feels like leather and it buckled on the outside as opposed to some cheap Velcro. Each space has a nice flap covering it and a snap to secure the handle. I do wish the snap was a little easier to fasten. Solid value for the money and a great gift for up and coming chefs!
Superior quality reliable chef knife set. These are heavy high carbon steel knives that are beautifully designed and useful. The handles are sturdy and durable and these work flawlessly in my kitchen. The clever innovative bag is an added bonus to this excellent value set. The convenient bag keeps everything in one place and safely secured. These knives are easy to use and have a comfortable robust grip. The blades are sharp and balanced well within the handles and exemplify beautiful workmanship. This set will make a fabulous gift.
This will outlive me. This is a very quality set of knives. I have never owned a set of knives this nice in my lifetime. Since I've had some very bad health issues and I need to start cooking on my own food I needed something like this to help make it go easier for me.I tried it on a couple things I had a laying around and it seemed to go through it like butter but I did not want to play with it and doll the edge.
This knife set delivers outstanding value for money, excelling in daily use with its perfect balance—substantial yet not fatiguing for prolonged tasks. The blades are incredibly sharp, making routine use like slicing tomatoes effortless; the knife's own weight allows for smooth cuts with a gentle pull. The larger cleaver is particularly noteworthy, handling challenging jobs like cutting through chicken bones with ease. This versatility for a wide range of uses underscores its great value. The included storage bag, with its premium leather-like feel, adds to the overall value by ensuring easy organization and protection. Storing the knives inside, I feel equipped like a professional chef, confident that this set is a worthwhile investment for both its quality and practical use in any kitchen.
I’ve been using many different brands of knives but this knives are far better than any of knives I’ve been using. And can’t beat the price.
It is a heavy knife and is sharp. Cuts through veggies or through meat without issue. Has remained sharp with use since purchase. Would recommend.
These are an absolute yes in my book. You do have to maintain them and I did have to sharpen them some more to my liking when they came in, but they keep a great edge. Nice feel and good control. Not too heavy but also don’t have that hollow feeling.
These are really nice knives. Great balance and weight too! Almost too fancy and professional looking for my kitchen…but I’ll definitely adjust! 🙂
Seller was responsive and dealt in an appropriate time. The knives and shears, from initial use, very nice to use.
I recently purchased the **XCHIEF PRO 7-inch Knife** and it has exceeded all expectations. The **high-carbon steel blade** is incredibly sharp, gliding effortlessly through meats and vegetables without any resistance. It holds its edge impressively well, even after extensive use. The **plain edge** is perfect for clean, precise cuts, making meal prep a breeze.
What truly stands out is the **ergonomic handle**, crafted from a beautiful combination of **ebony** and **red sandalwood**. It feels solid and comfortable in my hand, offering excellent control and reducing hand fatigue. The sleek **black-silver blade** adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen, and the overall craftsmanship is top-notch.
After years of using average knives, this was a well-deserved upgrade. If you're looking for a durable, high-performance knife that combines beauty, comfort, and precision, I highly recommend the **XCHIEF PRO 7-inch knife**. It’s a fantastic investment for both home chefs and professionals.
The media could not be loaded.
Just got them today. They are lite and super sharp. I update when I actually use them.
These knives work great! They're sharp and so far have not lost their sharpness, the grip is comfortable and the patterning on the knives looks nice. No problems with them.
Nice set of knives for the price. I did find the handle a bit small for my hand. Came sharp out of the box.
I LOVE THIS SET! We use pairing knives for a lot around our house, so i got these to use for that reason. They hold their edge for a long time, even with extensive use. They are just as easy to sharpen as any other knife ive had, and they look great as well. They are a great value for the price in my opinion. I havent had any issues with rust or anything on the steel. The steel and wood on the handles is easy to clean . I highly recommend this knife set.
