• 3-1/2-inch paring knife
• 4-inch fine edge utility knife
• 5-inch santoku knife
• Eight steak knives

There are some very positive, and very negative reviews on the website for this set. I checked the set out on amazon.com (which had it on for $90, but out of stock)  and 2/3 of the reviews on there were positive. The main consensus on Amazon seemed to be that you need to hand-wash these knives. We do that with our Henkels anyway, so I don’t see that being a huge problem. For the price though, this is a huge set – 19 pieces – and Cuisinart is generally a great brand.

Steak Knife

How do you butterfly a steak and what kind of knife do I use ?

I went to Ruth’s Criss Steakhouse and they butterflied my steak. How is this done and what kind of steak should I use and what kind of knife.

I usually use a small Paring Knife – they’re more flexible, so you can maneuver them much more easily. Start with a steak that is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Make a small slit down the center of the steak, probably 2/3 of the way deep. Then, slit open the inside of each side, so that it looks like two envelopes, with the open ends facing each other. That’ll be perfect!

I was afraid of knives for a long time; I would have someone else do all the cutting for me because I was really scared. I finally learned the proper way to use knives although I still will not peel anything where I have to hold it in my hand like an apple. I am left handed and well it scares me. I think that every chef or the occasional cook needs a great set of knives, so when I had the opportunity to review a cutlery set from Oneida, I was really excited. I had some knives but not a whole set, they were just random ones, I didn’t even have any steak knives. Oneida is a great company that makes all kinds of dishes and silverware and even cutlery sets. My silverware is Oneida so I am very familiar with and trust the brand.

I received Oneida Sure Grip 12 Piece Set w/Bamboo Block. I love my cutlery set. It is a 10 piece set with a gorgeous bamboo block. I love the way it looks in my kitchen, even if it is on top of the refrigerator. I don’t want any accidents with Noah, after seeing another child walking around with a butcher knife like it was a toy. I make sure he can’t reach anything dangerous. The set includes 8″ Chef Knife, 7″ Santoku Knife, 6″ Boning Knife, 5″ Utility Knife, 3″ Paring Knife, 6 – 4 1/2″ Steak Knives, Kitchen Shears, Sharpening Steel and Bamboo Block for storage. The knives are really easy to use. I love the Sure Grip handles, it helps me cut, chop and mince with ease and peace of mind. I use the shears all the time. I love that in the block I can just grab them and put them back with ease without having to search for them. I wouldn’t grab the knives like that though. I think that this set is a great set for the beginner cook or the most experienced chef because it has such a variety of knives. I know it would be a useful gift for anyone who loves to cook. I have gotten quite a few compliments about how pretty it looks. I really like the bamboo block because I know that it will last a very long time.

There are so many things I want from Oneida. I love it all. I am one of those people that would love to have a professional kitchen with all the bells and whistles and equipment. I have always been this way, from my first cooking equipment from my Cooking With Cricket spatula and toast cutters, which I still have by the way. I still have the cookbook too. I will be buying some more Oneida products in the future.

For more information and to order, please visit Oneida’s Website.

Thank you to Oneida for sending me a complimentary sample of the I received Oneida Sure Grip 12 Piece Set w/Bamboo Block. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you need a new set of knives for your kitchen, these could be ideal. I have a similar set of knives in a knife block at home, they’re used a lot. They’re indispensible in your kitchen really, in particular the bread knife and the kitchen scissors in my opinion.

Here is a description of this product:

Ginsu knives have commercial quality, high carbon, Japanese stainless steel blades. Impact resistant, full tang bakelite handles are triple riveted for strength and durability. Hardwood storage blocks keep your knives organized, safe and ready to use. This set includes a 8-inch Chef’s Knife, 8-inch Bread knife, 7-inch Santoku Knife, 5-inch Boning knife 4-1/2-inch Utility Knife, 3-1/2-inch Paring Knife, Shears and a Hardwood Black block.

Does anyone own these? What do you think?
