For the money you can't really go wrong ? Have only had these knife's for a week. Very sharp, 18 pcs, Even if you had these for two years and moved on to something else. You will get your money's worth and then some. They are much better then I expected. Look nice, block is great. I paid $ 46.00  with shipping. Take a chance for the money you will be impressed. Or you can spend $ 500 on a set that will be dull in no time. At $46.00 that is one night out to dinner. I'm a fan !! Thanks!!
