Ordered this JA HENCKELS carving set to complete my knife set. I love this brand of knife, especially after fighting several diferent "cheap" brands for years and always pulling several out of the drawer before I could find one sharp enough or not chipped. These knives seem to stay sharp a very long time and I've never had one chip. Wayfair has some great knife prices occasionally, so watch for their next sale. You won't ever be disappointed in JA HENCKELS knives!
