Classic 7-Piece Nonstick Cutlery Knife Set w/ Stand

I bought this knife set because I wanted something more compact and slim for my counter than the traditional bulky knife block. While it is very slender, sleek and takes up less space on my counter, these knives are NOT good quality. I’ve barely had them for more than a month and several are dull already. I use them all frequently and I’ve had Cuisinart knives for years. My old set of Cuisinart in the knife block and several years old and just starting to get a little dull but still cut well. This set is already losing its sharpness in just a month of regular use. I know how to care for knives and I ALWAYS hand wash them immediately after use and dry them. I use a mild natural soap, never the dishwasher or harsh chemicals. I don’t have bag of the issues others wrote about with scratches or peeling coating but I can tell these knives won’t last. They were very sharp when I first got them. But they lose their edge quickly and I’m nervous to use a sharpener on them with the problems others reported about peeling. This set isn’t to the same quality as my other Cuisinart knives and I wouldn’t purchase it again. They won’t last long. It’s a shame because their holder solves my counter soave problem.
