Very good, but I have a design suggestion
ScouterPaul1 year ago
The knives are quite good. As a "foodie" I do like having a good set of knives, and this is about the highest level of quality that would want to take on a tpical camping trip. They feel good, cut nicely, and otherwise hold up well.
I doo like a wooden cutting board for a number of reasons--one, that's the best cutting surface long-term for the knives, and two, if there's ever a freakish emergency I can burn it for fuel (yeah, survival...).
A desiign suggestion for GSI is to consider the thickness of the set. With the knife sharpener and gear in the pockets at the bottom of the kit (see image) and the knife handles ALSO at that area, it creates a "bulkiness" in the kit that should be avoided. Strategically placing the bulk items at the top of the kit where the blades are thinner would yield a more uniform kit and be easier to pack and transport.
That detail is why it is four stars and not five. It really could be fixed and corrected easily--this should have been caught in the design phase.

So close

I love the idea of this, but for the price, there should be a solid wood cutting board. Bamboo is a grass and not a good material for cutting boards because it can and will mold relatively quickly. Please swap this cutting board out for wood GSI!

GSI Outdoor Rakau Knife set
2 years ago
This is an EXCELLENT knife set. These knives are very sharp, the case is holds the knives and all of my cooking utensils. I appreciate the blade covers and the sharpener. The bamboo cutting board is too small to be useful for me, so I leave it at home making more room in the case for all my eating and cooking utensils. We use the cleaning cloth but store it separately. I make our bread (at home before a trip) and the serrated blade is great for cutting the bread. This is a very well thought out and convenient set.

Finally a legit knife set that doesn't look/feel like a playschool toy set. Sharp! if you're into cooking and know how to properly work a knife this is the set for you. Their is always room for improvement in my eyes so my input should be a proper sleeve for the sharpener block so it doesn't create a bulge in the case and make the case waterproof for the kayak adventures.

Not just a good knife set for camping.
11 months ago
I bought these to use on a trip where I camp out close to a work area. They work great but we've been using them at home as well and they're perfect! I'm not saying they are the best knives ever but they are great for what you spend and even better than expected and they feel great and are decently balanced for what is needed. I'm not going to ding the packability of the package just because the handles are in the same place as the other utility items but it would be nice if they were flipped around to fit better.

Timeless set

This set is perfect. It has the only three knifes needed in a camping kitchen. Plus the cut board, the sharpener and the storage bag add to the value and convenience of the set. They’re beautiful too and of great quality. Look like the type of knives a chef would use (they’re really sharp!) Very worth its price.

The knife set is seriously sharp. The cutting board is the perfect balance between surface size and transportability. Handles on the knives are gorgeous and feel great in your palm. We love this addition to our car camping setup.

Great Knife Set

Great Knife Set - sturdy and sharp. Used them this weekend and they were a joy to prep meals with. My wife & I really like the set. We both commented how nice the set is and wish we'd picked something like this up years ago.

Beautiful Knives, Decent Cutting Board
2 months ago
This set gives you nearly everything you need to prep veggies and other items for camp meals. The blades feel great in hand and are as sharp as my Japanese kitchen knives at home. The cutting board is a bit small, so I use a folding one for larger prep, but it does the trick and keeps the profile small. Excellent quality and a real joy to use.
