I purchased this set because I wanted well priced German block set with steak knives.  This set fits the bill!  The assortment of knives was very important because I cook almost every night.  I also wanted a set that came with steak knives so everything can be stored in one spot.  This block is perfect!
The knives have a traditional look with 3 rivets and a full bolster.  They are made from high carbon stainless steel which makes them durable and high quality.  The edges stay sharp, and the block comes with a honing steel which is essential for good edge maintenance.  Saved a ton of money purchasing the block rather than buying the knives individually.  These knives will last a long time and worth the one time investment.
