Purchased for bachelor wanting to make a statement on his newly acquired apartment kitchen counter. Contemporary storage block and striking combination of black and silver.
Excellent assortment of blades, forged bolster and comfortable contoured handle.
Great set of knives for the price. Knives have a good grip when slicing. Very sharp!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This knife set came ready to use with an very sharp edge; they didn't require "touch-up" sharpening before first use. All of the knives slice and cut beautifully and are extremely well balanced; the unique bolster/tang and polished surfaces make for a very attractive set. One item of note - the handles are made of a synthetic slightly "grippy" surface that really helps prevent the knives from slipping, especially helpful when the handle or hand is wet. I was concerned that the heavy tang would affect balance but each knife is just about perfect; the tang and handle fit comfortably in my hand and the balance and overall weight make chopping especially effortless. One caution - the blades are made of forged stainless steel and are quite hard, probably around 60-62 HRC. This allows for a very sharp and long lasting knife edge but the blades are more brittle than low end knives. Do NOT use them to pry open a lid or twist a screw - the blade tip WILL break off - and be aware that that dropping the knife on a hard surface may break the blade. And, of course, never wash them in the dishwasher!!

We bought the knife set about a month ago. The set was a replacement of similar knifes. Be sure the handwash all knifes all of the time.
