I bought these knives intending to give them as a gift because they are so unique.  I thought they might be a touch on the cheap side because of the low price, but they were such a good surprise!  So cool looking with the holographic motif - and very very sharp.  I ended up keeping them for myself and I use them every day.  They make cooking a little more fun. They each have their own substantial plastic sleeve, so they can be stored safely in a drawer or travel with them if you need to.
