This is an amazing knife set for home cooks! I will say if you cook occasionally or once in awhile, this product may not be fore you because there are a few knives that have a specific purpose in the kitchen. But for those who cook often or just enjoy cooking these knives are amazing. The quality of the blade and the handle is very distinct once you pick it up. I only wish the knife block was slightly smaller, but it doesn't diminish from the quality of the knives. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
