I would have given them a 5 star rating but they are not as heavy as the first set I've been having for several years now that I ordered off of a commercial, but I was very please with that set and over the years having three kids the knives have disappeared, I'm sure they have gotten thrown away so I was excited to order this set, They are very sharp like my first set so I do love that but they just feel so light weight but over all I really like these knives!!
