Beautiful knife set! They clean well, no rusting so far. I hand was & dry them to prevent any chance of rust to form. They are weighted very nicely and evenly which makes cutting effortless. Also, the pic shows how the handles have a textured finish to them. I didn’t know this before I bought them until my fiancé mentioned it after opening the set. The textures handle makes for a great grip especially if your hands are wet while cutting. Worth every penny!
