I love using these knives because they are so comfortable in my hand because the handle feels like it was made for me and the curve where the handle and the blade meet makes it very easy to use. This set includes every knife I will ever need and I especially love the fact that it came with both a 7" santoku knife and a 5" santoku knife because I like using a longer knife because I am more comfortable cooking and my husband likes to use the shorter one because he doesn't cook very often. It is truly a great set for the whole family, especially since it includes steak knives.
