I would have rated 5 stars if they had made a knife recommendation for the last empty slot in the block. Otherwise love these knives and highly recommend them. My parents have had their set for over 40 years and still going strong.
Bought this set a few months ago and added the Santou knife. I’ve used several of the knives and very impressed how well they cut .. whether it’s vegetables, meat, bread … have worked effortlessly and big change from my other knives. I like that the storage block is not huge and taking up a lot of my limited counter space. This set has everything one would need.
The knives are great but the block appears to be for a multitude of knive shapes and sizes. There was one extra slot making me think i was shorted one knife. The slots are cut too big, so the knives don’t sit firm in them. They flop all left to right and look sloppy in the block
