Just received this beautiful knife set, and am extremely impressed with the quality and style of the knives. Can't wait to use them!

The box, on the other hand, was less impressive than I had been anticipating. It came with some chipped wood along the knife blade slots, and is not a secure fit, so that if you turn the box upside down you can here the knives slide around. I'll be putting them into my knife block anyways, so not too broken up about it, but if you are planning to keep them in the box it's worth noting.
