Hopeful but disappointed. I picked up the Lotus set hopeful that it would perform how it looks. I was skeptical of the source of the steel for the knives and you tend to get what you pay for. Out of the packaging one of the six knives was actually sharp, disappointing since all of these are supposed to be inspected by hand before they are shipped to a customer. However I was able to put an edge on them and put them through some testing. I immediately noticed that only one of the knives had a smooth finished handle. The rest the wood was rough and there was a slight edge between the wood and the tang. Who's to say how these would perform long-term but I still did not like the feel in my hand. The handles were also thin and lighter in weight to other chef knives. Knives are a very personal choice in cooking and I am not a professional but a home cook. The lack of attention to detail did not inspire confidence in me that these knives could go the distance. I gave it two stars because the customer service was pretty decent and within a week of receiving my return knives granted my refund.

They arrived well packaged in a timely… They arrived well packaged in a timely manner. I have to say they are some serious eye candy! Just gorgeous! I would have given 4.5 stars, but that’s not an option. My only deduction would be for sharpness. While they are certainly sharp enough to use for ordinary kitchen use right out of the box I expected them to be just a bit more sharp. It didn’t take much to get them up to where I thought they ought to be though. Overall I love them!

Customer service was great Customer service was great, super responsive and quick. Got the 8" Lotus, the blade itself was very nice although thickness of the main body is thicker than I expected so I'll be using it for jobs that require less precision. Also there was a C.O.D. that I needed to complete before I could receive my knife. It was the first time I've encountered that so I was just surprised.

We absolutely love our knife set from… We absolutely love our knife set from Folded Steel! I use the knives almost daily. They perform great, and it just feels good to be using such quality tools when my wife and I cook. We also have the magnetic wood stand, and receive quite a few compliments because they are beautiful (we have the Dahlia set). A recommended companion re a knife sharpener - I love the Lansky system. Thank you Folded Steel - we are fans!

Amazing knives and even more impressive customer service I ordered a set of knives from my granddaughters wedding gift wish list. For some reason USPS said they were undeliverable. I contacted the company by email and told them what was happening and within a very short period they told me they would be able to resend the knives again. Not only were they fast to reply, they were fast on resending the knives once they received them. She is extremely happy and sent me a picture. They are beautiful knives.
