Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description:
Pinzons santoku and cutting board set offers quality performance and sleek construction. The set includes 5-inch and 7-inch santoku knives, a bamboo storage drawer, and a 12-3/4-by-15-3/4-inch bamboo cutting board. The santoku knives, Japanese-style cook's knives designed for chopping, feature a low-tip style with broad blades. The cutting edge of a santoku is minimally curved, providing less rocking action than typical European-style cook's knives. Alternating hollows on each side of the santoku blades create air pockets, allowing slices to fall away.
The knives in this set are constructed of high-carbon, stainless-steel and have been stamped and double welded to create sharp edges. Half tangs extend to the hollow stainless-steel handles, which are ergonomically designed and contoured for everyday use. The knives in this set are imported and should be washed by hand. The bamboo storage drawer features one slot for each knife, and slides smoothly in and out of the bottom of the cutting board for convenience. The matching bamboo cutting board is 1-3/4 inches thick and easy to cleanjust rinse with warm water and dry immediately.

 Very good quality December 18, 2009
H. J. CHEN (Baltimore, MD USA)
I didn't expect the quality than it is! This set have three major components:
The knives are very good, sharp, light, and easy to handle. They maybe are not the superb, but I didn't expect to get knives in this fine quality with this price. You need at least 30 bucks to buy a pair of knives with this quality from supermarket.
The cutting board is very good, polished well that I don't worry that it could absorb the fluid or water and then harbor mold on the surface. The large area and thick board is another wonderful feature. I will use it as a base and cut food with plastic board on this cutting board.
The drawer is good. The two knives sleep well in the tray because there are magnet to keep them there graceful. The magnets surprised me.
Two problems with this design: 1. The drawer is hard to draw. But the good thing for this inconvenience is, it will be safer that the drawer and knives won't drop off incautiously. 2. I still have a little concern that fluid and water may flow into the drawer and then possibly invite mold.
But overall, this is a good thing for students or newly-wed who want to start their journey in kitchen.
Nice set February 20, 2009
*rose* (USA)
I really love this set. When I saw it on Amazon, I instantly put it on my wish list and received it as a gift from my sister. She's amazed at all the fun stuff I locate on Amazon.
This set works very well. I never had knives like this before and they are very easy to cut with. Because they fit my hand so nicely, I can hold on to them for a long time and don't have a problem chopping up a lot of vegetables. My hand doesn't get tired using these knives.
The drawer is a bit tight to open and close, but I'd rather have it a little tight than too loose. It's probably something my brother can sand down for me to make it a little easier to open and close, but it's not really a big deal.
Over all, I would recommend this as an easy to use and fun set. Really, the last thing anyone expects when they use the cutting board is to have a set of knives in a drawer that you can so easily use! It's really great.
Excellent Choice October 30, 2008
Adam C. Gilmore (Asheboro, NC USA)
This was a great purchase for Christmas! We have used the knives for about a year now and they are doing great. Very good product for the price. The slide out drawer tends to get stuck and needs WD-40 to keep it loose. That's my only complaint. But other than that, I would recommend this product to anyone.
Great knives March 1, 2008

My wife loves this set.Knives are very sharp and you know where there at.
Super gold box buy.
My Favorite Knives February 17, 2008
Erica Anderson (Red Bank, TN)
I love these knives. They are very sharp and a good size. I had been worried that they would be too slick, too hard to grip if my hands were wet, but this hasn't been a problem at all. I don't really care for the board itself; I have another bamboo board that is much better. This one is more of a laminate feel than "real" material. The nice thing about the board is the storage drawer for the knives. Each cut-out has a magnet inside to keep the knives from rattling around. Overall I am pleased with this purchase. I picked it up from the gold box one day for about $15, but I would still be happy had I paid Amazon's regular price of $30.
