Was debating between this and the Opus sets and this won out based on design and how the handles were a bit wider and the knife stands up on it's edge. It's nice but can be a bit clumsy when cleaning up and it doesn't fit as well into cutlery organizers. The handles are a bit light so the balance is more forward into the heads...also a bit weird to wield but it's not the worst I've used. 

Its nice that this is a twins version, the polished Opus is a singles version so not as good quality. For some reason the matte finished Opus is a twins though, with the polished being hollow handle and matte being solid handle. If I were to do it over, I would probably go with the matte Opus ones. I didn't feel the matte Bellasera though so maybe that one is a bit heavier into the handle?

Would recommend feeling these in store if possible [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
