I've seen people complain about the tendency for this set to rust.  Well, if they bothered to read the directions, you're supposed to wash AND dry them after use... hand wash, mind you, like most good knife sets ask you to do!  I've not chopped my finger off yet, but it slices through even ripe tomatoes with little crushing, and onion ends with little effort!  I wish I had purchased the set with the steak knives now....

Consumer reports was right on recommending this set, especially at this price!
