I’ve used them 4 times so far. Once for slicing up a brisket we smoked on Christmas Day. Twice for steak and once for prepping chicken. So far I’m very happy with the way they feel and cut. They have a nice weight to them. My concerns are how long the black will stay on the blades and how long they will hold an edge. They are very sharp out of the box. I will do an update to my review in a few months and let you know what I think of them at that time.
