The knives came very quickly and were well packed in box. The plastic package that held knives was sooooo hard to open. I used heavy duty scissor and struggled. I also slightly cut my finger on the plastic but maybe it was just me ha. I don't know how else sharp knives would be packaged though, so no big deal. The knives are perfect for steak, chicken, etc. They are all black and have a nice feel in your hand. The price and quality were perfect! Highly recommend
