I am a Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen fan so that is where I first saw the knife brand. I really love it , they are a very great addition to my kitchen and nice on countertop. However, the metal handles got scratches when we had to move and I am a little sad about it. Vey good quality and I don’t remember having the need to sharpen them bec they seem to be always sharp and new everytime I pull them out of the block. Highly recommended.
