This was a knife set I got on clearance. The block is a nice size and has all of the knives I need. I've used the small knives in the bottom of the set for most of my basic fresh veggie plate chopping. I'm a purist and tear baguettes so I haven't used the bread knife yet, but the set is great for what I paid for it. I was in Target the other day and similar sets were twice the price.
