Chicago Cutlery Fusion Knife Set

So, what exactly do you get with this knife set? Besides a really great value, that is?

All the knives are made with high-carbon forged professional stainless steel. The handles are made from black comfort-grip polyurethane with contrasting stainless steel end caps. The block is bamboo hardwood in your choice of colors.

The knives included are:

- 7.75" chef knife
- 7" Santoku (slice, dice, chop and mince)
- 8" Slicer
- 3.5" Parer
- 3" Peeler
- 7.75" Bread
- 5" Partoku (smaller than the Santoku, combines the convenience of a paring knife with the versatility of the Santoku)
- 5" Utility
- 4.25" Steak (8 of these)

As well as a sharpening tool.

The Santoku and the Partoku knives come with oval indents that are meant to allow food to release from the blade. All the knives have bolsters to help balance to keep the fingers from touching the blade.

I've been looking for an awesome knife set at an affordable price. And according to the reviews on Amazon, the Chicago Cutlery Fusion set may be the one! It will be nice not to keep my knives in a box on the top of the refrigerator anymore :)

Here are what the reviews have to say about this knife set:

Well balanced, well weighted, and feel great in hand. C. Davis

. These are real nice and sharp! I especially like the santoku knives. They cut and chop tomatoes and onions awesomely. I wasn't too sure about the steak knives as they looked thin compared to the last set of steak knives I had, but after I used them they're are even better! Tanya

While clearly not 'high end', and no one should expect 'chef' knives at this price, they appear to be durable. The block is solid, heavy wood and there is also a sharpener. And this set comes with some of the sharpest steak knives I've seen. A. Dent
