Hearing about The Material Kitchen, I did some product research and, 4 months later, ordered the set for my birthday. It was well worth the wait. As a young home chef, I have used my fair share of cooking tools, and these are some of the best. The knives are well balanced and moderately heavy. They will not flex like others, for good or bad, but they are very damage resistant, I've already dropped the 8 inch, no damage. The six other tools are likewise great. The flat ended slotted spoon pairs well with the smaller full spoon for serving and cooking. The dual sided wooden spoon is excellent on stainless and cast iron alike. The spatula is sturdy and sizable and the tongs store as well as they work. I have not tried the whisk yet, but I can tell it will work, and clean, better then anything I have every used. There are some tools that could be offered to 'complete' the set more, but that a) goes against their business model b) is not terribly important as they are small, niche tools; grater, peeler, etc., c) doesn't matter because there is space in The Stand for those extra tools. On to the negatives. There is a small scratch on the 8 inch knife, I am fairly certain from sliding it in and out of the, extremely convenient, magnetic stand, though it could be from something else. Also, some personal notes: 1) I wish The Tongs opened a bit more and were a bit longer, 2) The Blue-Gray color is a more Pale-Blue than I thought, 3) I wish they offered genuine wood handles. Other than that, I am loving this set. It came in a big, well packaged box, made the environmentalist in me a little unhappy, but I quickly got over it. It may not be the MOST elegant or versatile, but it is a rugged, economic set that can do 80% of anything I, a fairly seasoned chef, haha, want to do in the kitchen. Full review, out of ten 10 - Value for the cost 8 - Versatility of the tools (Does 1 job great or 2 jobs well) 7 - Completeness of the set (ie. contains 70% of a full kitchen layout) 8 - Product Care (design, material selection, packaging) 8 - Elegance of the set (looks good and simple)

Bought it for our RV. Perfect size for limited counter space and to squirrel away when traveling.

Thrilled to be getting a stylish cutting board, in a great color, but most importantly made from recycled plastic! So important - and you would think easier to find than it is! Thank you Eunice and Dave for making this great product happen. Guilt-free plastic. :)

High quality knives at a much better price point than traditional brands

Got my parents these knvies for their 30th anniversary. It was an AMAZING gift! The Knives are top-grade for reasonable price. Can't wait to explore Matierals other offerings.

Love the aesthetic and quality of the pan. Nice and sturdy and feels like it’s good quality. Can’t wait for more pots and pans

Easy to use! I am super excited to do my food prep now

Blown away by the packaging at delivery. Makes it seem like a gift - even though I bought for myself. Will be an easy gift for all weddings/engagements, housewarmings, etc. I currently own the Iconics and one of the pans. I am very happy with both.

The attention to detail is very noticeable. When compared to some of my other high quality (expensive) pans I have - Material Wins!

My husband enjoys cooking and this year I had no clue what to buy him for our anniversary. After researching knives, I came across a lot of great reviews for Material. I ordered him the basic set and he absolutely loves it. I'll be ordering the third knife shortly to complete the trio. The customer service was excellent! I had sent a couple of emails and the response times were fast and professional!
