These knives are well balanced and easy to use. I especially like the Chef's and Sankou knives. There is nothing like a balance and sharp knife to ease meal preparation.
This set has all I need in one spot. From the chefs knife to the pairing knife i am happy with each and every piece. The full steel construction with the riveted handles gives me the confidence I'm looking for in a knife set. The matching steak knives are a bonus for me as well. You really do get everything in this set but the block is laid out well so it isn't too cumbersome.
Great value for this block and the knives included, which are some of the most used knives in the kitchen. Added bonus are the steak knives, if you have some, great addition when you need extra, and if you don't have steak knives, they are great to have!
This set includes all of the basic knife blades and is accompanied with matching steak knives. I like the darker and updated block as well as the traditional 3 riveted handles. Even though the knives are stamped, they still have a nice balance while chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing. The high carbon stainless steel ensures it will hold it's edge nicely.
