LOVE this set.  It is aesthetically pleasing with its slim profile and a perfect addition to the kitchen, even though I have two other sets of knives, this is the one I choose to leave on the counter.  It has everything I need for daily use and allows me to leave the other knives in my drawers to free up some counter space....always a good thing.  Love the even weight of these knives and couldn't be more please.  Thank you!
