Have only had it for a week but the quality seems very good. Knives are sharp and the metal is light but sturdy. I've never chopped food faster.. guess I needed good knives. For the price it was worth it. Happy I bought them. Knives are made in Germany however the block,scissors, and sharpener is from China. Scissors are the best I've had from a knife set.
