Today is my first time using them as I just bought them. Right away I noticed how light they are which can be a good or bad thing just depends on personal preference. They are SHARP. Made preparing vegetables a breeze and actually fun again. My household has had numerous “high end” knives that seem great at first but lost their edge or had bent tips within 2 years. Perhaps my family just doesn’t know how to care for them but I’m keeping this set to myself! Looking forward to cooking with this set for years to come.
