I've had two sets of four (eight total) of these Avanta steak knives with the pakkawood handles for almost five years now. My regular kitchen knifes are a mix of Messermeister Meridian and San Moritz elite, Wusthof Classic, and Zwilling Pro, but I just couldn't bring myself to drop the dime on such expensive steak knives. I wanted something I didn't have to cringe every time a dinner guest scraped a plate, or my son dropped on the tile floor. These seemed to fit the bill. Still forged. still a generally decent German steel. Heavy in the hand but not too big. A good name. I liked them when I got them and I still like them.I've yet to have them professionally sharpened, but I'm sure they'd be more than happy to have it done when I get around to it. They still cut great, despite them not being terribly babied. I do hand wash and dry, and would never recommend putting them in the dishwasher, though I imagine you could if you were really that desperate. Some of the comments mention ill-fitting handles or sharper edges on the tangs. I've not experienced that at all. 8/8 knives all feel very premium and well made. I imagine if you start comparing them to $50 a piece steak knives they're not going to stack up all that well, but when does stuff like that ever work?I know it's far from Messermeister's premium offerings, but at the price, it still feels like a very nice steak knife. I recommend them and I'd buy them again.Oh. And how can anyone possibly imagine a knife costing less than $15 each is being made in Solingen? Especially when it says right in the description they're made in China. Come on people. Use some common sense. You can't not read the item description and then leave a bad review because you thought you were getting the bargain of a lifetime on something that isn't what this is. If you want the steak knife hand-forged in Germany, that's fine, but expect to pay a LOT more for them.These are good knives. They're made in China. Like just about everything else that you aren't paying a huge premium on. Get a grip.
