The Evolution series of knives by the Schmidt Brothers is one of the best knives I have ever had. I got the 2Pc knife set that included the 8" chef knife and 6" prep knife that comes in a wooden storage box and also has individual sleeves for both knives. They are made of German forged steel that has grooved blades that aide in cutting things without having them stick to the blade such as cheese. The blade is very sharp and cuts so easily through even the most difficult items. I was able to slice up a melon that unfortunately wasn't very ripe but it was like cutting butter!!!!!
I am so impressed with the performance of this product that I plan on getting all of the knives in the Evolution Series.
