The Ex 5-Piece Stainless-Steel Knife Set with Unique Holder, Chrome

Just the concept makes me sick to my stomach. Is violence something something to joke about? Aren’t enough violence perpetrated by spouses and ex-spouses already?? Amazon should pull this off their shelves since this is a tasteless poor stab at humor. Pun intended
Yes… marketing can and should be fun, but I’m not finding any humor in the way this product is marketed. Quite simply, it makes light of domestic violence. I am disgusted…
Amazon should take this one off of their site.
I saw the knife block in a local store, however I liked this one because it is stainless steel. I looks great on my counter, and the knives cut well.
This was a graduation gift and she loved it. Right away we knew she shouldn’t be handling knives but it was a special occasion. Delivery was prompt and the product was in great condition. Great gift idea.
I had admired this for a long time prior to purchasing it. It may be because of all the build-up that the end result it such a let down.
To be fair, the knives are of good quality; not the best, but by no means are they a total waste of time.
The construction does leave much to be desired though. The base is rather cheap feeling, light-weight plastic, and the chrome paint/layer they put on should be a bit more durable considering this model costs $30 more than the others.
It IS nifty, and it IS attractive (for now…..) but I could not recommend this purchase to anyone else….. As a matter of fact, I’ll probably give it to the first person who comes to visit and seems truely taken with it.
