We just got this as a gift from our wedding registry. My sister recommended the brand, since she has loved her set for years. I am so impressed with these knives! They are well-balanced, and they feel expensive. They slice through things so smoothly and I cannot believe the quality as compared to my old knives. With the knife block and the chic white handles, they look great on my kitchen counter as well. We are very happy with these and would definitely recommend them!
