My girlfriend and I cook probably 90% of the food we eat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was finally time to upgrade the knife set to allow us to cook more efficiently and quicker. These knives are amazing, whether it’s to cut the homemade sourdough, going through acorn squash, or a smashing and mincing of garlic, this set is the way to go. We went with the German made compared to China made. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
