Calphalon Forged Steak Set - 4 PC  Product Reviews

"Despite my by-the-book care of these knives, I still get rust stains that are nearly impossible to get off. I do not have that problem with other knives in my collection, but these clean up like cheap steel. Not very attractive, and you don't want to eat with them."

"If you visit the Calphalon site (www.calphalon.com), you will see that the 'suggested retail' is $49.95! Thus, your 'real' savings are in free shipping. Also, these knives are manufactured in China, not in Germany or the USA. Despite this, they are, as another reviewer stated, superior to stamped blades."

"These knives are a pleasure to use. The have a nice heft and balance, classic look, single piece tang fabrication, and a very stiff blade. I also liked the price."

"I have had these knives for about 6 months now and could not be happier. They have excellent balance and feel. A major improvement to the stamped knives that comes with the Calphalon 15 piece set. The wood storage tray that comes with the knives is not very nice (light pine with no finish), but I don't use it anyway."
