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!
