6 month review
One of my passions is cooking, I have owned and managed several restaurants over the last 20 years never did I think I could or would use a knife in this price range. With that being said one of my employees mentioned they used Misen knives at home and was surprised by the quality. I went to their website and scoured the web for real reviews (if I could find a knife at this price point that actually was as good as the reviews I was willing to put in the time to research). I ultimately ended up buying the entire set on Amazon due to the easy return policy and of course the 2% back). Here's my impressions from day one to almost 7 months.
Day 1 arrival and unboxing - All the knives arrived in premium packaging. I washed and sanitized them all preparing to use them for dinner. The knives themselves wereuch lighter than I expected and felt perfect in the hand. The material the handles are made of felt perfect . I would compare it to a ceramic with a matte textured finish. Blades were shard as they should be and ready to quarter some Cornish hens. All of the blades cut just as well as my much more expensive set. Vegetables diced perfectly. One of my favorite features about these knives it the angle at which the blades are forged. For instance the chef knife angle is different than the paring knife angle allowing each knife to perform individually perfect at the task it's supposed to do.
One month in and all the blades are still Sharp. Edges are clean and no honing or sharpening needed. Although I don't use every knife every day I do use at least one or two of the set daily.
3 months in and knives are still holding an edge and I decided not to sharpen them to see exactly how long I could go before needing to sharpen them. This gives me a good idea of the quality of the steel used to make these knives
6 months in and all of the knives still have an edge but starting to dull. I sharpened the entire set and they were like new. I specifically used an inexpensive wet Stone to sharpen these knives instead of a honing tool so that way I could see if the average user would be able to sharpen easily.
7 months since I first received this set and I'm happy to say it is now on my countertop for use as my daily knife. Since then I have ordered several different Misen products and hope they all are as good as this knife set. I'll continue to update this review .
Bottom line is the quality versus value of this set is unbeatable. I purchased two more sets as gifts. You can't go wrong

Not the most comfortable with a choked-up grip
I do have large-ish hands, but I hold my knife like professionals do; choked-up with thumb and index on either side of the base of the blade. After a few cuts it gets a bit uncomfortable at the base of my index finger, I wish that edge had a more gentle radius or chamfer. Other than that the size if perfect, and the blade has been cutting great after a few months of moderate use

One of my passions is cooking, I have owned and managed several restaurants over the last 20 years never did I think I could or would use a knife in this price range. With that being said one of my employees mentioned they used Misen knives at home and was surprised by the quality. I went to their website and scoured the web for real reviews (if I could find a knife at this price point that actually was as good as the reviews I was willing to put in the time to research). I ultimately ended up buying the entire set on Amazon due to the easy return policy and of course the 2% back). Here's my impressions from day one to almost 7 months.
Day 1 arrival and unboxing - All the knives arrived in premium packaging. I washed and sanitized them all preparing to use them for dinner. The knives themselves wereuch lighter than I expected and felt perfect in the hand. The material the handles are made of felt perfect . I would compare it to a ceramic with a matte textured finish. Blades were shard as they should be and ready to quarter some Cornish hens. All of the blades cut just as well as my much more expensive set. Vegetables diced perfectly. One of my favorite features about these knives it the angle at which the blades are forged. For instance the chef knife angle is different than the paring knife angle allowing each knife to perform individually perfect at the task it's supposed to do.
One month in and all the blades are still Sharp. Edges are clean and no honing or sharpening needed. Although I don't use every knife every day I do use at least one or two of the set daily.
3 months in and knives are still holding an edge and I decided not to sharpen them to see exactly how long I could go before needing to sharpen them. This gives me a good idea of the quality of the steel used to make these knives
6 months in and all of the knives still have an edge but starting to dull. I sharpened the entire set and they were like new. I specifically used an inexpensive wet Stone to sharpen these knives instead of a honing tool so that way I could see if the average user would be able to sharpen easily.
7 months since I first received this set and I'm happy to say it is now on my countertop for use as my daily knife. Since then I have ordered several different Misen products and hope they all are as good as this knife set. I'll continue to update this review .
Bottom line is the quality versus value of this set is unbeatable. I purchased two more sets as gifts. You can't go wrong
