Yatoshi 12 Piece White Knife Block Set – Pro Kitchen Knife Set Ultra Sharp High Carbon Stainless Steel with Ergonomic Handle

Had an issue out of return range, and customer service was stellar
I don’t generally leave reviews, but the seller and their customer service deserve recognition. I purchased this knife set and block as a gift. After over a year of careful use, I noticed a small crack developing in the handle material, and reached out to the seller to see about a replacement for that one knife (note, it was quite some time beyond when I’d purchased, and well out of any return window). Upon closer inspection I noticed several knives had developed this issue, and in working with customer service to determine the issue, it was a result of users allowing the knives to slide back unsupported into the block. We’d babied these knives, hand-washing and treating with the utmost respect, but apparently not when the knives were returned to the block, which resulted in small cracks in the handle material at the base developing over time. Again, being I was well beyond any return window, customer service could have been like “too bad,” but what did they do?? They offered my choice to refund in full or provide a replacement knife set. And not only that, when I asked if there was another storage solution available, they also offered to send me the magnetic block alternative from another set. I’ve since received the new knives and they are perfect, and the magnetic block on the counter allows for easy access and, most importantly, a gentler handling solution to keep these very sharp, beautiful knives pristine for many years to come. I’ve ordered from Amazon for a long time, and never have I encountered a seller who went that far out of their way to make sure I was a happy customer. If you are willing to take very special care of these knives they will last for a very long time, and if you are on the fence about buying these from Amazon, I strongly recommend you consider this seller, because they were stellar.

Sharp
They met my requirement but the blades started to have rust spots on them.

Damage
I’ve had this knife set for about four months, and overall, it’s been a disappointing experience. Right out of the box, one of the slots in the knife block was unusable due to a wood obstruction. The knives performed well for the first month or two, but they dulled quickly, even with regular sharpening.A bigger issue is the quality of the handles—several have started to break apart, causing splinters while cutting. Despite hand-washing them immediately after use and never putting them in the dishwasher, I’ve also noticed signs of rust.For the price, I expected much better durability and craftsmanship. I wouldn’t recommend this set.This keeps it professional and to the point while making sure your concerns come across clearly. Let me know if you want any tweaks!

Good set , with the exception of 1 damaged one.
I bought these knives to replace an expensive well known set bought 2 yrs ago (which is not that great ) . These knives are absolutely amazing! They look fantastic and perform well, except for one steak knife that arrived damaged. I’m not sure if the company can replace just the damaged knife, as I’d prefer not to return the entire set it would be too much hassle. Aside from that, it’s a great set!

Bought the set of 5 knives and scissors with the block for Christmas, now as of January 9th they have already started to rust. They don’t get washed right away but they do get rinsed and they don’t sit in water.

It’s just a pattern on the stainless. Pretty generic knife set otherwise.
