I purchased the Schmidt Brothers STRUT set the last time woot! ran this sale and I’m very disappointed with the bread knife. Anyone else?
Can I get some clarification between the pictured item and the description? I see 8 steak knives, 8" Chef’s Knife, 7.5" Santoku Knife, 8" Slicer, 8" Bread Knife, 5" Utility Knife, 4" Pairing Knife, Sharpener and a Knife Block.
Description says 6 steak knives and a 5.5" Tomato/Bagel Knife.
Which is correct, please.

The breadknife doesn’t cut the mustard, eh?
Also, 50 and 60 dollar breadknives? Sorry sandwich, you gotta wait.
That Zwilling Santoko is about the same price if you have mothership Prime and then you get it in two days, plus you can return it if needed.
Santoko showdown:
Zwilling VS $7 Rada (made in Iowa) verses “Farberware” branded Chinese knife (also found with other names) and super cheap Chinese no-name “as see on TV” type product.
Zwilling beats all for raw meat and really firm potatoes. Rada is close to Zwilling, but the handle is not as nice.
Farberware had much more resistance, almost as bad as the “as seen on TV” model.
Get the right tool for the job. You get what you pay for.
Stay away from cheap knives. I went with Shun and never looked back! Amazing, these are good for people getting their first place I suppose
I guess you have to have a lot of bread before you decide to by one.
I’m dissapointed in the whole schmidt set to be honest. I like the block, but my 15 year old analon set is better balanced and easier to work with than the Schmidts. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
anyone get the knife sharpeners yet? any good?
Could not agree more with the Shuns… SO couldn’t see my reasoning behind spending 600$ on a set of knives but I catch her trying to use them when shes cutting in the kitchen… Strict hands off policy tho. Have to use then wash, then dry them if you don’t want any rust…
