At this point I just need to have all my kitchen appliances (and cleaning products) by Ninja/Shark. I will volunteer as tribute if you ever release a full size oven range (preferably gas). But that's besides the point. These knives are great. I have been needing an upgrade from my knife block set I've had since college. I love that it comes with a knife sharpener that's easy to use and helps to keep your knives from dulling. With any set of knives the key to longevity is always the care for them, washing and drying immediately as well as sharpening - this knife block makes it so easy to keep up with the last step, I even love that the sharpening tool is stone (my favorite sharpening tool of choice). The selection of prep knives and steak knives are perfect. Overall if you're looking for a new set of knives go with Ninja, they never cease to amaze with their quality of products.
