This Block set is a bit pricey but you will have it forever and a few years longer! You will also find tons of choices of other knives, (that you didn't know you needed yet) and there will be space for them and they can match your set. I love the angle of this block it really showcases the knives and allows that perfect curved bolster to rest comfortably in its spot. Quality knives aren't cheap but these are a great deal for the quality that you get.
