This set features all the best of the Pro line. The high quality, laser finished steel. It holds an edge for a long time and takes an edge when you need to sharpen it. The comfortable angled bolster gives maximum control. It has a good, but not tiring, weight to it. And it comes with those beautiful steak knives in a dark wood block. This set will never disappoint. It has all you need. Make sure you hone as you go. And hand wash so they look like new in 20 years. Enjoy!
