i am disabled and shop online for everything!! but laws put in are stopping knife sales..and i have bought cheap sets and they are okish. Decided to treat myself as i wanted a decent knife set but one where it can help me not cut myself..these have a notch under the handle at base of blade..why dont all kives have this finger gap!! omg i cut the asda tiger bread without squashing it like i do using a cheap knife. fingers safe..yay!!! now for the dreaded carrots! ceramic coated no scratches or marks..totally recommended.
