Received the 14 piece set off from my wedding registry, and by far this is one of the best and most useful gifts I have received to date. We use almost every single knife, and I’m looking to use some in more technical ways as I advance my cooking skill set. They are easy to clean, however I do recommend hand drying immediately after hand washing to avoid water spots. Looking forward to learning and using these more as they will last a long time with the convenient self sharpening block. Great investment piece! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
