This Farberware set is priced well.  The steak knives themselves are very serrated, which is exactly what I’d hoped.  In the last set I had, the steak knives were not serrated and their blades dulled easily.  The only disappointing thing is that the handles appear to be plastic, which I’m afraid will scratch easily and start to dull in the dishwasher.  The color of the handles is a very light gray, but it almost looks like a soft prussion blue in the right light. Each blade is stamped with the mark FARBERWARE and a small model number.  The knife block itself is not bulky at all and not heavy—I’m happy that the set is large but does not take up much room on my counter.  It’s an added bonus that the set not only comes with kitchen scissors (the most versatile kitchen tool in my experience), but it also comes with a space for them in the block for easy access.  The chef’s knife cuts well, but if you like a lot of weight in your chef’s knife, this probably isn’t the set for you.
