The knives are shaped differently than the rest of the pieces and it adds a distinctive pattern to a table setting.We love our set of Bellasara as it is somewhat unusual.

I think you got a bad one....mine were beautiful and I have been complimented on them. Only complaint is it takes a while to figure out how to set the knife on he plate without it sliding out. Best

They look the same....although they are obviously not sharp and have 3/4 blunt serrations, a tad more aggressive than your typical butter knife. Although they will tear up a tender steak very well. As long as your Bellasera set came with eight butter knives that have the stand up design as to help keep the majority of the spreading surface off the table you received the proper set. The older sets were made in Vietnam.....newer sets are stamped China...It's not a very good picture.

I don't think they are the same, bit I don't know what the differences are. I have had these knives for years and they a still perfectly sharp. I don't see why they wouldn't suit a professional kitchen. I prefer these over my wusthof knives I paid triple for.

There is an 8 inch Chef's knife #31071, a 5 inch serrated utility knife #31070, and a 4 inch paring/utility knife #31070. I know the last two numbers are the same but it is exactly what is printed on the blade. The paring/utility knife is a bit larger than our other two paring knives which we prefer. These are the Zwilling JA Henckels made in Germany and are awesome. They are NOT the cheaper J.A. Henckels International ones. If you have never owned knives such as these I strongly suggest you buy a sharping steel to keep the edges straight. They stay sharp for a LONG time and are hard to sharpen because of the steel so we don't even bother with it anymore. Once every year or so we take them all and have them sharpened and at $2 per knife.

The are not authentic Laguiole, they are made by a company in the town of Laguiole and are of a similar style to the Laguiole. Therefore, they do not come with a certificate of authenticity (presumably "authentic LeBrun" isn't really what anyone would recognize or want).However, they are very nice for the price. Certainly not as good as Laguiole, but these have a nice heft to them, look very similar to Laguioles, have good cutting edges, etc. and at a substantially lesser price than authentic Laguioles.If money is no object whatsoever and you want the best, get Laguiole. If you want a nice-quality set at an affordable price, then these are a good option.

I just pulled my set out of the cupboard just to check, and no the four pictured is totally different than the one actually in the set. It looks much different (better in my opinion) in person :)

My steak knifes started to form rust the first day they were used. I guess if you wash and dry them completely by hand the minute you are done using them, they won't form rust (and it is more than surface rust). I sure hope they sell for 10 bucks at a garage sale. I will be ordering better knives in a few days. To the company...get real, people can't wash and clean them that quick.And they are not as sharp as advertised. I had a 10 year old set of knives from another company, they still don't have rust, but the handles started to break.

You can return if you want to but I wouldn't. I have two sets and both are the same way! Knives are the ones stated and are super sharp ceramic. The good ones!

They do not say stainless anywhere on them. I can't believe I didn't check that when I bought them. They are not the fantastic steak knives I thought I was purchasing.

We got fake knives. I saw the same kind of knives in Home Goods for 20 dollar!!! :-(

Same thing happened to me. I called Victorinox and they unconvincingly told me it is the same knife just with a different SKU#. I am a little upset because I bought the 47520 because it had German Forschner blade and here it shows up with a Swiss blade and no Forschner logo. Not sure how I am going to proceed. Have you used yours yet? What do you think?Victorinox 47520 Fibrox 8-Inch Chef's Knife

At the gilt web site (once you have an account, search "gourmet fork" or "gourmet knife"), but the knife looks rusted in the picture. I have not ordered. Also, an Internet search for "replacements boda nova gourmet": over there they sell at an exorbitant price, and the measurements for most flatware doesn't match with what Amazon sells and the pictures are a lot less shiny, so may not be identical.

I would say it's the way the photo was taken. The spoons are shiny and it could be a reflection of something.My spoons have a nice feel to them, are shiny and are heftier than my old spoons. I would highly recommend these spoons and the price is right.

Hi Donald, I personally have not had this issue. The knives are actually not narrow. If you look at other pictures, it's easier to see. They are basically designed so they can rest on the edge of the plate with the knife blade facing down. Bellasera 4 Piece Steak Knives Set Thanks, Catherine

I have no idea because mine match perfectly. I noticed the same thing also when I purchased and took a chance and got them anyway. When they arrived they were beautiful and all the same color. I don't know if I just got lucky because they sure do look different on the website. Maybe if you call customer service (866-216-1072) they could explain why this is happening. Hope this helps.

Hello Consumer, That red is a slighly different red. The cookware to me appears a bit brighter. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

The steak knives are not serrated. Actually I am not find of their ergonomics. The rest of the set is fine.

I just had eye surgery and am not at home. But as I recall, the backs of the forks are plain (there may be a border that carries over from the side for a fraction of an inch). I don't remember about the backs of the knives, but I think again it may be that they are bordered, but not as chased as the fronts. The bowls of the spoons and forks have tiny, unobtrusive butterflies and another figure lightly carved into them. Again, this is from memory; I hope it is correct enough.
