Upon ordering this set of knives it came with the knives, a microfiber cleaning tab, a potato peeler, sheaths for the knives, and a box to keep them stored in. These knives are more light weight then your typical stainless steel knives. All of these tools in this box that have an edge, has a really sharp edge.
The knives are:
3" Paring ceramic knife
4" Fruit ceramic knife
5" Santoku ceramic knife
6" Chef ceramic knife
multi-purpose cermic peeler
These knivess are amazingly sharp. My mother has used a dull knife for 20 years and tried one of these knives out. She was not used to a sharp knife and how easily it moves through while cutting so she ended up knicking her fingers like 4 times in the first minute. I was laughing at her because it was sharp enough that it was painless to the knicks to her fingers and this was mom who has prepared food for years looking like a rookie. If you are not used to sharp knives they take a little bit to get used to. Once you are used them you will never go back to using dull knives again because it is so much easier on the hands and to get things accomplished.
The knives do not have the old steel bolts through them that always hold germs. The handles are silicone so they are molded to the blades to there is no germs held under the handles either. With the handles being silicone and the blades being ceramic they are about 1/3 of the weight of the normal knives made with steel.
This knife set also comes with silicone sleeves to put each of the knives in. This works great for those that do not want to keep them in the box they were sent in. If they are put in the drawer with the sleeves on them you do not have to worry about losing a finger digging in the drawer. It is very easy to slide the knives in and out of these sleeves. You can put the knives in the sleeve with little danger to your hand if you hold the sleeve at the far pointed in opposite the knife entrance. The sleeve is firm enough that you can hold it there and insert the blade. The sleeves are also vented so if they knives are a little wet after washing they do not hold the moisture and cause mold.
Next is the peeler. This thing is a monster at peeling. Make sure to be careful and not catch your fingers with it as you are peeling. It is super easy to get small cuts from this if you are not careful with the blades on this peeler. I have used this to peel all kinds of things including potatoes, squash, and apples to name a few.
This set also comes with a micro fiber towel for cleaning the knives. This works great after you wash them for drying. It will remove almost all of the water if not all of it. This also helps prevent the chance of molding. Since these knives are ceramic and the handles are silicone they are most likely dishwasher safe as well.
If you are in the market for a great set of knives this is a collection you will need to consider. They are extremely sharp, come with protective sheaths, and help protect agains germs. I would like to thank Elegana and affiliates for sending me this GREAT set of knives to try out and share my opinion.
