Mercer CulinaryZüm 6-Piece Forged Block Set, Stainless Steel/Glass

It's nice to have a knife set that doesn't take up s lot of counter space. It hugs the wall and is nice to look at. Knives are sharp, as they should be.

My kitchen is all stainless steel and the nice stainless and glass display case goes well with the overall design of the kitchen. The knives are quality Mercer knives but very reasonably priced. Extra razor sharp edge and excellent build quality.

The knives came razor sharp and the display case look great on my countertop. The only draw back is if you store it under your cabinets you might not be able to withdraw the knife without moving out on your countertop.Jeff

I now use these more than my Cutco knives as they are sharper and just as easy to clean after every use.A whole lot cheaper than Cutco as well. Wish I would have seen these first!!

Nice and sharp, but aren’t all new knives sharp? Attractive. Good price for the quality. Not wustoff quality, but not the price either. Biggest gripe is that I bought one of their better knives, but due to the shape, I couldn’t put it on the block. It wouldn’t stand up straight. Still, good value for the money.

I was looking for a good set of knives that were not overly priced and this set is perfect for that. They're good quality, extremely Sharp but perfect knives for all types of hands. Not to expensive but great quality

Excellent quality, super sharp knives. Beautiful! Can't say enough.

I was researching knives for my daughter and found these. There are several different models genesis, renaissance and zum, the Company mostly sells to culinary schools and I don't know why. I like them a lot, they feel good in my hand, are well balanced and EXTREMELY sharp. I have both wusthof and J.A henckels and i like these much better.The glass block is slim and is perfect for those with counter space issues. I will purchase again.

One of my best purchases. They are very sharp and require very little maintenance

Love these knives! Great value for the money. Amazing knives. Makes cooking so much easier when you have a good set of knives.

Great weight, quality and value. And sharp! Last set of knives that we will ever need.

My boyfriend loves them! Hopefully they last the test of time. The block isn't practical as the dividers are metal, so minus 1 star for that. But we're going to change it to wood, so it should be fine.

I read a lot of great reviews but honestly, these are not that great. They are hard to cut with and the glass container gets so dirty inside and it's a hassle to clean. I would not recommend.
