Bought this set at the Camping and Caravanning show last year. The knives have seen use almost everyday since and have only occasionally been sharpened to keep them at their best, with the blade being so thin it is so easily able to cut through tough veg like swede and is also one of the best bread knives I've used. It is also great for slicing meat very thin. Love the smaller knives for veg prep. My only criticism of these knives is the handle. For me it isn't the right shape or weight and would much prefer a more rounded and heavier handle which would give better control. Would still recommend these knives to anyone as I've seen nothing like this from another company.
MAGIC KNIFE 3 May 19. Hi Josh, many thanks for well thought out comments. We investigated various designs of handle when it was changed to the current design in August 2014. The problem with making the handle heavier is it affects the balance of the knife. You'll notice the point of balance is just where it should be. Increasing handle weight means increasing blade weight which then affects cutting action. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
I purchased my magic knives from the motorhome show in Birmingham and was pleasantly surprised to find that they actually work as well as they were demonstrated on the day. They are so much easier to use than the conventional knives and I no longer need 6 or 7 different knives in a block...the magic knives do everything.
These knives really live up to their name! At last I can chop vegetables, carve meat and slice tomatoes easily into any size at all. I also love the really sharp scissors which came with the box set and of course the peeler, which is light and easy to use. I am delighted with the variety of sizes and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for a set of kitchen knives.
The best kitchen knives I've ever owned - sharp, easy to use and effortless. It continues to amaze me how easy it is to cut swede!
Absolutely love these knives- the best ever. This is my second purchase- I originally bought the larger version and was so impressed that I bought the vegetable knife.
Great set of knives. Much better than everything we have had before. Worth the price. Would recommend to anyone.
Everything the friend who recommended them to me said they were. I use them daily and would not want my kitchen to be without thrm
this is the best knife I have ever used, I was so disappointed you were not at the SECC in March as I had planned to but some for family, hopefully you will be there in October
MAGIC KNIFE 27 April 2019. Hi Sandra, we will be at the SECC in October and November. There is a page on our website https://www.magic-knife.website/events.aspx which lists all the shows we are at as soon as they are booked. Don't forget that your Guarantee code is also gives a good discount code for online purchases. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
Great knives as long as you keep them sharp with the knife sharpener. It really is important to use the sharpener to use them with the best effect. Great product especially after using ordinary knives trying to cut through a swede. Will be buying some more for our holiday home.
6 months later still as sharp as the first day bought. Simply the best and sharpest set of knives I have ever owned. 3 swipes on the separate sharpener and back up to speed. Very little effort needed for excellent results.
I purchased the knife at the Camping and Caravanning show at the NEC last Summer and trust me this is by far the best knife we have ever owned and is the only knife we have and need in our utensil drawer.It does exactly what it says on the tin...it's "MAGIC" and as a regular bread machine user I find this really good to cut those slices even thinner than before subsequently getting more out of a loaf. I occasionally need to give the blade a couple of skims across the knife sharpener but that's it..once every 3 months ! I would recommend this knife to all ,infact I have several times and they have come back to me to say Thanks and thats what I say to you too "Thank You" Neil & Martha
I purchased these knives at a Caravan & Motorhome show in the NEC Birmingham 6 months ago. They are in daily use, very very sharp so keep them away from the kiddies but probably the best knives I have ever had .
Bought the set at the Caravan and Motorhome Show and have been so pleased with them. Best set of knives we have ever owned.They stay sharp for so long and when they need sharpening it is so simple. Would recommend them to anyone.
Not as sharp now I can’t. Use it for every preparation task disappointing
MAGIC KNIFE 19 April 19. Hi, after six months it is likely the knife simply needs a sharpening. Please try this and if you are still not satisfied email me on phil@magic-knife.website Cheeers, Phil & Lesley
After 6 months or so this seems to have stopped working. It was agreed to replace it but I needed at my own cost to return the one I bought. Not explained at time of purchase, Was also asked how I used the knives and what I was using the knives on (plastic cutting board) and how often I sharpened the knives, After all that interrogation I have decided not to send it back seems a lot of effort for such a small item. Had to get an order ref for the replacement also.
MAGIC KNIFE 18 April 2019. Hi, sorry to hear we have disappointed you. After six months we suspect the knife simply needs a sharpening. If this was not the case, it could have been returned to us at any show we are at, or posted back to us.The leaflet supplied with your purchase does state this, as is explained again when registering the guarantee. The "interrogation" was to help us solve the mystery of why they weren't holding their edge, using on glass/marble type choppping boards or putting in a dishwasher would cause this. If there were to be a problem with the knife, we supply an order ref which would enable you to order online at no cost. We are still happy to get this sorted for you, should you wish to email me. Cheers, Phil & Lesley
