For starters..this piece is beautiful and is a perfect addition to any kitchen. 
Secondly, the knives are great. They’re very sharp and make cutting and slicing effortless. 
The self sharpening block is an added bonus. I’ve had other knives in the past that just become dull overtime, but that is no longer a worry. Every time you put a knife back in it’s spot it take it out, the block sharpens it. It’s also got clear printed labels for each knives place. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
