I've had this product for about two months now and so far I like it. All of the knives came in sharp and were packaged with tip protectors and wrapped in paper and foam so I didn't see any cracks or other flaws in the knives or block. I would make a suggestion to Zwilling to label the knives so it's a little easier to tell which knife to use as three of them look about the same when they're in the block. 

I had a NY strip steak today and the steak knives were nice and sharp, (not that I overcooked it, as I had it medium) but they don't have a bolster like the four other knives otherwise the set would've probably been more expensive, but hardly anyone should have issues with their hand slipping while using the steak knives. Also, the steak knives have both a serrated and plain blade, both are equally sharp imo. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
