This set has everything you need. The built in sharpener helps keep your blades cutting like champs. It helps that they are labeled so that you get the right sharpening on the right blade! My new fav is the 5.5 prep knife! That little guy does a lot for a small knife. I like that I don't have to use my parer too much for small jobs, it stays sharper for paring when I need it! the rest of the assortment covers all the bases and the scissors from Henckels are always awesome!
