I received my knife set for a Christmas gift.  I had a previous set that is over 25 years old.  I loved them and this is an even nicer more complete set.  I am excited to use all the knives, I have not used all of the different knives yet.  They self sharpen so I am anxious to see if they continue to retain their sharp edge.  I have no doubt these will prove to be an exceptional addition to my kitchen. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
