Reviews
- JSJudy S. B. T. A. C.Verified ReviewerReviewingALPS Series 12-Piece Knife Block Set, Forged German SteelI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 starsYesterdayAbsolutely The Best knives on the world
I recently received this knife set from Cangshan and I am absolutely thrilled with these knives..I use the Come-apart Shears for e very meat I cut.. they cut thru bones on my wings just like it's cutting paper..no effort needed.. for cleaning they are the best.. just pull them apart and you can wash them,set them back together..the steak knives are perfect with every meal..The paring knife is lightweight and hold easily when peeling and vegetable especially potatoes..I love the Santoku knife and the Chef's knife for everything I cut ..onions,carrots.. it does a wonderful slicing job. Makes time cutting and skicing in half the time..They are both easy to hold..Best and highest quality knives!! Very well balanced..I’ve never had to sharpened them yet but there is a Honing sharpener and if needed I'll be using it.. they are washed in the dishwasher and so far there is no rust.. I would definitely recommend these knives to anyone. They come in white and black handles..very sleek and beautiful design..Than you Cangshan 😘
- RMRowan M.Verified BuyerReviewingALPS Series 3.5-Inch Paring Knife, Forged German SteelI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoGreat knife at low price.
Gave this knife to a woman I like and she cried. Tip cuts through kiwi skins like butter. Love the handle too.
- TCTracy C.ReviewingALPS Series 12-Piece Knife Block Set, Forged German SteelI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoBeautiful set
This is the first set of knives I have ever owned. After years of mismatched cheap knives, I finally found a set I was willing to spend the money on. The knives are shape and the weight is perfect. The handle design is comfortable and allows for ease of use.
I have only had them for a couple of weeks, even though they are white nothing I’ve chopped up has stained the handles. Only time will tell how well they hold up.

Best steak knifes! Sharp & well balanced

- CRCharla R.ReviewingALPS Series 2-Piece Starter Set, Forged German SteelI do not recommend this productRated 1 out of 5 stars3 years agoSmall knife review
I purchased this set plus another knife. I dropped the small knife, and the tip of it bent. I’ve never had this happen before, even with less expensive knives. I haven’t used the others, so I’m not able to provide a review for those.
