Did my homework, and decided on purchasing the Four Star set and glad I did.  Love the assortment of knives in the collection.  Now have a knife for every task in the kitchen.  Love the prep knife, use it instead of the chef knife for smaller jobs.
The price is awesome for a German made knife with a lifetime warranty.  Love that there are additional knives I can purchase such as the boning and the fillet knives which I use occassionally but will be adding in the future.
The molded handle and the 3/4 tang makes the knife a little lighter than the rivited knives with full tang, but still just as durable.  The special formula steel they use keeps the knife really sharp and is easy to maintain.  Finally learned how to correctly use the included honing steel which really keeps the knife sharp.  Can't say enough about these knives!
