    well given the reviews they're clearly not worth £125, so it looks as though the business is trying to mislead people about their quality. on that basis I wouldn't touch them on principle despite them being an ok set for less than £10.
    :D

    They are ALWAYS advertising them at this price, and other stuff on special offer too (eg saucepans sets). They always have special offer brochures going out in magazines etc - I don't know if anyone actually pays what they claim is full price!

    I've a set of JP knives that have been going strong for around 5 years now. G sharpened them for me at Easter and that was the first time they needed it. IIRC the offer I took up was the set of 5 knives for P&P only, and I added the knife block for £not very much.

    A couple of friends went for the same offer at the same time and all orders were delivered quickly. Although, as I said this was a few years back so things may have changed since.

    We are pleased to offer you the products in your basket at this special price, but we do request a small delivery charge (as indicated above) for each promotional set. If you order any other items there may be an additional charge for each item to help cover administration, fulfilment, packaging, handling, and insured courier costs

    When I bought them they came by second class Royal Mail - hardly a insured courier and didn't cost them £10!!

    We had a set and confirm they are rubbish. A tip broke off one of the knives and the others just look cheap.

    You tend to get what you pay for with knives..
  • I have a set of these knives and I really like them - yes they need sharpening regularly but so do all knives. I'm really fussy about the sharpness of knives and I find these ones sharpen easily.
    Don't judge people on they way they look, the way they speak or what they're called because they can't help that.

    Only judge people on what they say and what they do.
