Five Star Reviews: | 71% There are no reviews yet | 79% She complained about not having a good chefs knife in the house January 7, 2017 Bought this as a Birthday present for my daughter who in her second semester in cooking school. She has been cooking for the family at home on break. She complained about not having a good chefs knife in the house. She has used it daily and is very pleased with it. And it was worth every penny for the great meals we have been treated too. ... assisted in a wedding one of them is an excellent cook and previously owned a restaurant she called me ... December 5, 2016 Purchased the knives for 3 people that assisted in a wedding one of them is an excellent cook and previously owned a restaurant she called me the day after and should use them to cut a prime rib roast and loved it I have seen such knives on TV at $100+ and I doubt that they would cut any better than this one November 16, 2016 I could not believe how sharp this knife is. I have seen such knives on TV at $100+ and I doubt that they would cut any better than this one. I tried it on tomatoes and was impressed by the ease with which it cut through them. Yeah~ This is the peeler y'want September 14, 2016 I'm telling everyone~ This little guy is the real deal. Period.The blade is super-sharp, and even *taro root* can be easily peeled with this thing.This, alone, makes the tool valuable to us!Hand grip is soft and secure; No issues with scary-slipping when peeling.As for the julienne-side of this hand-held unit:Yes, it does the task; Yes, it does julienne hard vegetables &such.It's not a priority for us, so all I can really say is it will do its stated task.But........ back to the PEELING: The blades are, indeed, sharp enough to power us through 1 pounds of potatoes5 pounds of sweet potatoes, and the de-skinning of tons of cucumbers.(In my opinion......... this is worth the price of admission)The same peeling blade will *effortlessly* peel paper-thing slices of cucumber and carrot for your next dinnerparte', or to stack on your next avocado sandwich.I believe *THIS* is the peeler for every kitchen~It has it all: Sharp blades, a solid secure 'feel', and easy clean-up (with the included little scrubbie-brush).Yeah, this is the one y'want, I think. Excellent tool! January 3, 2016 I love this little guy, it takes up very little space in a drawer and works great! So far I've used it to julienne carrots for the Korean carrots and potatoes for the Chinese-style potato salad, the blades are very sharp (almost julienned my hand, now I use fork to hold my veg on the cutting board!). I've also used it to make potato hash browns. I like the rubber handle, I get a decent grip with wet hands. Cleaning is easy, I use my regular dish brush. I am very happy with this kitchen tool. This tool may actually work for awhile..... July 14, 2015 So far so good with this tool. Life time guarantee and it seems to be made well. I'll see on that. I will give it a good work out since I like to julienne veggies for salads and other dishes. The peeler cuts a bit deep but does a great job. I have over the last few years purchased other tools like this at BB&B at about the same price and all are now in the trash. We'll see on the guarantee. I registered this product and if it breaks, I will find out if this company stands behind it's warranty. I purchase three, two to give to my daughters. |
Four Star Reviews: | 17% There are no reviews yet | 10% I like the knives, but like many knives they need to be sharpened when the get dull, which should not be a big deal. March 10, 2017 Nice heavy knives Nice March 6, 2017 It is a nice knife i just prefer a bigger around handle because the small handles hurt my hand when I use them These knives are great. They are sharp and have a nice weight March 3, 2017 These knives are great. They are sharp and have a nice weight. I found them to be a great improvement over my set of ceramic. Can't beat the price. very nice packaging, great for a gift December 1, 2016 very nice packaging, great for a gift. Knife is extremely light and not as sharp as I expected, butnothing that a honing stone can't correct. Saves time and works great! May 8, 2016 This is my first serrated edge peeler. For it's price, it's well worth it. Instead of taking the extra time required to julienne vegetables, this makes the work much faster! I love it! While I can't control the sizing like I would when I'm cutting julienne manually or for a speciality type dish, this is awesome for something quick, easy, low volume and no fuss. As for the regular peeler blade, is works well in that it can be used in both directions, making general peeling of skins much speedier. It doesn't leave a smooth surface, which is fine if you don't require it. It doesn't work as smoothly as some other higher end peelers I've tried, it's still great. I would recommend this product. Great peeler February 22, 2016 This peeler is awesome because I can make korean carrot salad using the Julienne peeler and also peel some potatoes. One issue with this peeler is that it's relatively large and extremely super sharp which can be dangerous if you're not carefully peeling, wish I didn't have to exercise that much caution, but still a great product. |
Three Star Reviews: | 3% There are no reviews yet | 6% I like everything about it except the sharpness July 21, 2017 Not to impressed with the quality of the knife. I like everything about it except the sharpness. Both myself and coworkers have 'sharpened' it several times and it's still no closer to being sharp enough to cut much of anything....like a tomato or lemon. It's a real shame but I haven't given up hope to actually get it sharp like it needs to be so its use can be justified. I already bought a new paring knife to replace this one. Dull blade May 10, 2017 Not as sharp as it should be, I use it for things that don't require sharp blade. Would not buy again Need pinch grip for the 5" utility knife - short handle April 24, 2017 I bought the knife set and have been using them for close to a month now. They all arrive very sharp but I am sure no matter how good the knifes are, if you actually use them, they all eventually need sharpening. Here is my impression - the chef knife is great. On the other hand, the 5" utility knife (the one I used most), I would have preferred it to come with a slightly longer handle - another inch would be perfect. I have medium size women hand, and often my pinky feels like it's hanging out there somewhere. The curved knife is good for things like...trimming off strawberry stems. Personally I find a straight knife more versatile, but I don't mind having a curved knife either.Since the seller reached out asking for review, I emailed and let them know that I found the 5" utility knife handle being a little short. And here is the reply from Max at Velesco - "Those knives mainly designed for a pro line cooks to be used in a pinch grip. Hence no bolsters and ultra light construction and the shorter handle on a smaller knives so it does not interfere with the movement. Curved knife is best used under 25-30% angle on a board or as a carving tool off the board."So I suppose if you are used to the pinch grip, the 5" utility knife could be perfect for you. Afraid I am just a home cook and is not a pro. Well, I guess I should learn how to hold a knife next! LOL Quality is good but not the sharpness fades in some time January 30, 2017 Quality is good but not the sharpness fades in some time, I have a knife sharpener so not an issue. Not what I Needed for Slicing Cheese October 6, 2015 I purchased this primarily as a cheese slicer. I was bedazzled by all the features, however in hindsight, it is just an OK cheese slicer with a bunch of other features that I don't use and that get in my way and make it harder to clean.I don't blame the tool, it appears to do what it claims, it's just not the easiest or best solution for what I need.I'm placing it in the drawer of the "maybe I shouldn't have", and have ordered a regular wire cheese slicer along with a cheese planer for my daily use. |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% There are no reviews yet | 2% Dulles knife I ever owned August 18, 2017 Must have been not sharpened at the factory, as much as we try to sharpen it it will not sharpen. Seems like a nice knife but if you can't be sharpen why bother Less than purported to be November 3, 2015 I find it to be a less than an optimum peeler. OXO makes great ergonomic peelers.It does julienne carrots nicely, however it was promoted as so much more.Sixty years in the kitchen qualifies me to be vocal about my disappointment in performance hence it's not useful for me October 25, 2015 I got it mainly to slice cheeze blocks for my toddler as I didn't want to feed him the processed cheeze slices...but the slices / strips that I get from this peeler are so thin that my son has to eat 10 times for the same amount of cheese that he would eat in max 3-4 times if I slice thicker pieces with a traditional knife..hence it's not useful for me.But the product itself is ok.it maybe good for someone who likes to have real thin slices/ strips. |
One Star Reviews: | 5% There are no reviews yet | 3% Too dull to use! August 23, 2017 This is the dullest knife I have ever owned. It cannot even handle fruits and veggies as it bruises the outside. Awful product and maybe zero stars is better. |
