Are these uncomfortable to hold? They don't look sharp but some reviews said they are.

I love mine but if you have difficulty holding things or if you have the shakes then they may be too heavy for you. They are not sharp they have a good finish to them.

I find then comfy to hold. Only issue for me is that the metal handles bend easily.

I don't find them uncomfortable to hold. Some of the handle edges may rub you roughly if you rub your hand or fingers at precisely the right angle. It is extremely difficult to do unless you are actively trying to hurt yourself.

They don't seem sharp to me. They are very heavy duty and I feel they will last me a lifetime.

Some of these answers are clearly not answering about the HIC measuring cup set. The metal is absolutely not thin, and they aren't spot welded. I can send you pictures of my set if you want =)

I returned the HIC measuring cups; the set was not as shown on the Amazon site. The metal was thin and the handles were spot welded to the cups as opposed to being one piece. I replaced these with the 6 piece Bellemain set, much more substantial and each is one piece.

they are very comfortable in your hand. These are some REALLY nice inexpensive knives!! I love them. I do only handwash them, don't know if that is necessary but I do try to take good care of them. Very sharp!! I

not well. they are tight on my index finger to the point it starts to ache. the rest are all ok. they stop 2-3 inches past the wrist. well worth the money despite the discomfort.

You're right, they are kind of short -- only two fingers can wrap around -- but I haven't found them uncomfortable or difficult to use.

They are easy to squeeze. More on the softer side. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Good question! I think they are smooth not bumpy. But that's my perspective. Enjoy!

Hi Alan, These are quite lightweight, not the heavy type at all. The backs of the handles show the reverse 'press' of the front, which diminishes the looks a bit, in my opinion. I hope this helps -

I purchased them for a wedding gift. I also gave a set to my daughter & her husband, she said they are light weight but not awkward to hold, they love them!

I see that you have your very clear answers Susan, I tought I'd throw my 2 cents in, maybe it would help in the future.The first thing that came to mind for me was that they likely aren't balanced appropriately, ie; straight, nor made to actually KEEP that balance. I held the two round files up next to each other and turned them in my fingers, and the gap between the tips changed. That means that right out of the sleeve, they aren't straight. That has no bearing on my needs, and won't take away from my review of them. I guess just one more reason to validate your decision. : )

Yes, but not as well as the Sharp glasses. These glasses seemed to produce a ghost image so I returned them and purchased the Sharp glasses. They may work for you as you may not be as picky as I am.

They seem normal not either deep or shallow. I eat soup with them without issue!

I think they are. I haven't used them for that purpose, but they are tight enough to hurt if you pinch your little finger tip with them. (Other fingers were too big to test. Hope you appreciate my willingness to suffer!)

They are sharp - they are not rounded. But I should add - I got them for my daughter at 15/16 months. She's been playing with them without issue. They aren't needle point sharp. I don't see them 'stabbing' her or giving her splinters. They just aren't rounded.

I asked my daughter and she says that they don't bother her at all. I have used em a time or two and they were kinda uncomfortable at first but after a while they didn't bother me at all.

Yes they are sharp. I have had mine since may with no issues, a matter a fact I just used them before responding to this. Great product

I find them kind of hard to hold on to. I like them, but I think I'd prefer a stem to grip. The are very wide at the bottom and bottom heavy. I hope this helps.

I don't find them uncomfortable at all. You might initially be "aware" of them, but they aren't uncomfortable. After a few nights, you won't notice them at all.
