I loved the look of this set, but after a couple of uses, knives are beginning to rust and stainless steel is loosing its colour. They also barely cut food, you end up tearing the food rather than slicing it. I read other reviews saying they were not very sharp but I thought they would be okay for what I needed, they were not! Very disappointed, complete waste of money. Will now have to purchase a different set of knives. Would NOT recommend.
