We absolutely LOVE these knives! My hubby and friends are really into cooking and whenever they use them they are always so impressed. The next thing they are impressed with is the deal we got on them. Everytime my husband uses these he says that he cant believe how much better these are than the Cutco ones that he thought would outlast and out cut anything else we bought. Well, I proved him wrong and he thanks me for that every night when hes cooking dinner. These are a must have in any kitchen, especially because of the steak knives. They are the best too. Hope this helps get an idea on this set. And if youre sure not sure... just buy it!
