Calphalon Cwc 2pc Fruit/veggie

We bought these knives for my mom for Christmas last year along with the 4.5" parer. She really likes them and uses them almost every day. It makes me happy that we were able to give her the same quality knives that me and my husband love to use every day. We hope to add to her set this Christmas.

I use the shorter knife a lot, and the longer one when I am cutting more items (entire onion instead of part, etc). These knives fit well in the hand and are easy to use safely. My only problem is that I cannot use more than half of the cutting surface before my knuckles hit the cutting board. I should probably use the Santoku for those jobs, but it seems larger than I need most of the time.

Since I've received the fruit and vegetable knife set I haven't been using any other tool in my kitchen. They have the perfect size and shape for the intended use, ergonomic handle and easy to use. The only drawback is that they are NOT machine wash safe. I forgot to tell this to my caregiver, and unfortunately the handle of the parer knife changed color after she washed it in the dishwasher. Other than that I highly recommend these products.

I'm a bit of a dunce in the kitchen, and I normally hate all the chopping and dicing that goes into cooking. These Calphalon knives, however, make those tedious tasks almost -- dare I say it -- pleasant! I've been using them regularly for several weeks, and they're still brilliantly sharp. I have tiny hands (my 12yo daughter's hands are larger than mine), and the shape of the handles on these knives make using them quite comfortable. The handles feel solid and blades good and heavy. They're sharp all the way to the tip. Having good quality knives has made my time in the kitchen much more enjoyable. These knives are a great value. In comparison to other Calphalon products, they're quite reasonably priced and a good value for the money. Thank you, Calphalon!

I have always heard a good knife makes all the difference in cooking and boy oh boy is that true! I never knew how bad my knives were until I got these. These two knives and a butcher knife and I'm set to go, get rid of the rest. They are the perfect weight and fit nicely in my hand. The steel is nice and thick and makes slicing and chopping anything a breeze. Love, love, love these knives!
