I’ve always liked the Four Star, but it was just a little too light. Since this is practically the same knife, but has added weight, it’s perfect! The stainless steel is super durable and these knives can last forever. The assortment is great too, getting a Chef and Santoku in the same set is not always something you get in all block sets. I also like that it has additional slots in the block for other knives like steak knives.
