I've been looking for the perfect kitchen knives for over a year now.  I am not a Chef BUT I do LOVE to cook and bake and wanted my cutting and chopping needs met with ease and precision. I didn't want the BIG block set with bunch of knives I don't use.  I also wanted a different look other than the standard wood block.  I also didn't want to spend 100's of dollars per knife.  And so far, I am extremely pleased with the look, feel and cutting precision of this set. The other wonderful perk about this set is that I can take it apart easily to clean the inside of the glass!  

Pros: VERY sharp
