Best sharp knife I've ever used. One must be careful it's so sharp.

My first set of presumably premium knives The knives straight out the box were great. However, after a year of use, I find the knives are still incredibly sharp, but they rust easily. Don't know if I'm supposed to oil them after each use and keep them wrapped up in cloth or what I should do. I use them but they're not my go-to because they still feel unbalanced and too light, like the tong isn't long enough for the handle, or the handle itself doesn't have enough bulk or mass. I have large hands but they're not that large. They're okay but fall short of my expectations of what a premium knife should be. Through this purchase I've learned sharpness isn't everything as all knives should be sharp by definition. Functionality means more. Again, they're sharp, but so is my Oneida and it fits perfectly in my hand, is perfectly balanced, doesn't rust, and can be put in a drawer naked not slathered in oil for pennies on the dollar. They're beautiful knives to look and guests marvel at their appearance when mounted. They look good and slice good, but they just don't feel good in my hand. Perhaps I should have gotten a different color?

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We truly value your honest feedback—it helps us improve and better serve our customers. You are correct that sharpness alone isn’t everything, and we’re sorry to hear the knives didn’t fully meet your expectations in terms of balance and handling. Regarding the rusting, our knives are made with high-carbon steel, which allows them to achieve and maintain exceptional sharpness, but it does mean they require a bit of extra care. We recommend handwashing, drying immediately after use, and lightly oiling the blade every so often to protect against moisture and prevent rust. It sounds like comfort and balance are especially important for you, and we completely understand. We have a variety of collections with different weights, handle designs, and balance points—some with more bulk in the handle—that may suit your preferences better. If you’d like, our team would be happy to recommend a line that might feel more natural in your hand. We’re glad to hear that your knives perform beautifully and are admired by guests, but we’d love for you to feel just as satisfied with their functionality as you are with their look. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly if you’d like guidance on care tips or alternative styles better tailored to your needs. – The Seido Knives Team ✨

I had purchased another brand of knife for a Christmas gift for a gentleman that worked for me. When they came in they were absolutely horrible quality I contacted the company and they said there was nothing they could do. So I ordered a set of these knives and the quality was 100% on point. I was shocked at how nice these knives were and how well made they were. I will order a set for me for Christmas this year and display them in my kitchen. If you're even thinking in about a set of knives this company is very stand up and they make a good product.
