This set is a little unique because it comes with a santoku.  This is the perfect knife for chopping fruits and vegetables.  It makes chopping an onion a piece of cake!  The serrrated utility is perfect for anything that's hard on the outside and soft on the inside; think oranges, tomatoes or a package of sausage.  And of course, the paring knife is key to any task you have to hold in your hand.

This is such a good value because the knives are forged from German steel.  You know they are going to be sharp and stay sharp.  The three rivet, curved handle is very comfortable and durable.
