Since I bought a new home I have been wanting to invest in a good set of knives. I have been using them for about a month now.  These knives are great! The knives and shear are sharp and remain sharp with plenty of use.  Nice selection of knives.  My only concern was that the steak knives are serrated.  But they actually cut beautifully.  I LOVE LOVE this set.  Highly recommend the investment.
