Overall this set is a great addition to my kitchen. It has a great selection of knives for different uses and I love the scissors down below instead of sandwiched in between the knives. I also like the serration of the knives although some I don’t think need that serration, but a clean blade. The only thing I notice different than my older Henckels knife set is this new set doesn’t seem as sharp. And when I’m using the bigger knives to chop or cut the blade slips down and to the right, thus making my cuts thinner. Not a huge deal. Also another concern is the handle; these are harder to grip than my old set. My hand slides down towards the blade more often with this new set.
