Customer Reviews

OXO is our favorite brand of kitchen tools and when we found this wonderful collection of practical knives in a gift set we bought one for our house and one for a wedding gift.
There are more expensive knives available but these are well-designed and high quality and an absolute bargain for $100.
All knives are sharp when you buy them, but no knife stays sharp forever. In fact the measure of a good knife is its ability to take and hold an edge after resharpening. OXO PRO Series knives do indeed take and hold an edge after resharpening. The knives are based on OXO’s Universal Design concept and feature non-slip, comfort handles. I also like the fact that all OXO products have a no-nonsense satisfaction guarantee.
For the price of this handsome set you could go out and buy one overpriced German or French Knife, which will also need resharpening, or you could spend over $1,000 for some fancy knife sets that will not slice tomatoes or bread any better than OXO’s knives.
Just think of the $900 saved by going for OXO Pro Knives instead of inflated German cutlery, and use the savings for a ticket for yourself to Europe.

Comments

Ergo Chef, in conjunction with Guy Fieri, released the “Knuckle Sandwich” line of chef’s knives in August, 2009. Since that time, the knives have been reviewed dozens of times, always (and I mean always) with positive comments. Honestly, I’ve read every review posted online (yes, I have no life, tyvm).

The Food in my Beard wrote, perhaps, the most grudgingly positive review to date, saying,

“Well, I wanted to bash them, I really did, but other than the look (and the name), these knives are great. Let me reiterate, I really HATE the way they look. But yea, other than that, they work perfectly. …GET THIS: my mom actually LIKES the way they look! She says: ‘All knives look the same and are so boring, these have some style.’”The red & black handles, with star and Patriots / Texans swirl designs and the blades with “Guy Fieri Knuckle Sandwich” logo and series of flames, are subjectively decorative. Have I seen any other professional-quality knives with anything other than black handles and imageless blades? No. Have you?

EatnListen.com wrote the most recent review, singing the praises of the 5 1/2-inch “Dragon Dagger” utility knife and 8-inch “Big Stick” chef’s knife to easily and effectively trim a perfect heart of beef tenderloin.

To date, the knives have been sold through various online outlets and kitchen supply websites. Guy Fieri and Ergo Chef want to know in which retail stores should they market their knives?

We just got off the phone with Guy and he asked us to let you know he’s looking for your feedback on the stores where you’d like to see the Knuckle Sandwich knives. (We have two available now, and another two that you can pre-order now. Stay tuned for the official announcement on the release of the final pieces to the Knuckle Sandwich Series later this year.)

Until now we’ve been selling the knives directly through our site, but now it’s time to get them into the stores near you. If you have 20 seconds, please just head over to his site for the one-question survey. Seriously, 20 seconds.

So yes readers, by all means go answer the one-questions survey. However according to my own personal statistics adviser, an online survey will miss a huge mass of the population – namely, those people who might be interested in purchasing the knives who do NOT use the internet.

And after all, isn’t that the point of placing the knives in stores? To reach a market of people who do not shop online. So! Here are my suggestions:

1. The knives are VERY WELL priced – the “Big Stick” sells for $76 at ErgoChef. Consumers will truly get the best bang for their buck with these knives. On the other hand, they aren’t cheap either.

Target prices Giada’s chef knife at $18 to J.A. Henckels 2-knife set for $66. I think Guy’s knives would just sit there. Macy’s, on the other hand, sells the mid- to higher-end quality knives, with Tyler Florence’s priced at $40 to Zwilling J.A. Henckels at $163. Nice fit for Ergo, I should think. So if I were in charge of marketing, I’d stay away from the Targets, Shopkos and WalMarts and instead hit the mid- to higher-end department stores ubiquitously end-capping America’s malls.

2. There’s no denying (in spite of Food in my Beard’s mother), that the Knuckle Sandwich knife designs will appeal to men. Where do men shop?

Cabela’s! The pricing fits, and it’s a men’s shopping mecca. Moreover, the edge guard that comes with every Knuckle Sandwich knife is perfect for traveling, camping, etc., perfect for the consumer who cooks on-the-go. So if I were in charge of marketing, I’d hit outfitter and sporting supply stores.

Where else do men shop? Home Depot. They currently do not sell any cutlery (that I’m aware of), so placing these knives at the Home Depot would be opening a whole new category. Coup! (That’s a little play on words. Couper Diem!) Lowe’s, on the other hand, already sells knife sets priced from $32 to $119. It would be a nice fit also.

Of course, the Food Network already enjoys a healthy relationship with Kohl’s and Sur La Table – both good choices for the Guy Fieri Knuckle Sandwich Ergo knives.

Ok, that’s enough advice from me. For fun, here’s a darling video from Kristina Vanni of BetterRecipes.com, featuring Guy’s knives and a recipe for a Guy Fieri “Minute to Win It” juice smoothie (recipe).

If you are serious about cooking, or even if you are a professional chef, then chances are you have used a sharpener, in the past or maybe even very regularly. These sharpeners can take the form of a sharpening stone, a steel rod, sometimes even diamond coated to make it more effective, or an electric sharpener, which can do several knives at once and give great results in a matter of seconds. However, there are also professional knife sharpening services, which a number of professional chefs favor. So how do they line up against sharpening yourself? Read on to find out.

Is it necessary?

Many sharpening services claim that sharpening by yourself is good, but you can only get the best quality sharpening by using a professional service. Many of these services use sharpening stones, but can sometimes detemper the knife and reduce the quality of the blade if not done absolutely correctly.

Positives and negatives

A knife sharpening service with a good reputation and a long history is practically guaranteed to return your knives in a much better condition, with a properly honed blade making your cutting easier. However, even the best service can take a week on average to do the job and return your knives, with postage fees on top of that.

Local sharpeners

Many chefs use local independent knife sharpeners, which is often a noble act to give business to someone who needs it. While many of these can be professional quality sharpeners, it is also likely that many will be amateurs and can damage the knife.
