When I originally bought this combo pack I thought it was just a couple knives and a Sharpener. In the process of opening the pack I realized there was cutting board included. This a great combination. I haven't seen a sharpener included with a knife set in a long time. This type of sharpener has to be my favorite. The knives included are the perfect size and weight. The sharpener has two sides to sharpen to get it extra sharp. Cant forget the scissors, everything you need to really replace the old set.
