These were purchased as a gift. I personally think they look very nice and if they are as good as my other knives. They will be great. I have several Rafa knives and love them. They are really sharp, and do a wonderful job.
This item was purchased as a gift, so haven't used the item myself. The one concern I felt in handling them before sending them on was that the brushed handle was rather harsh feeling -- I expected a slightly more satiny brushed finish. The blades themselves seem very good.
