I bought this set at my local Sam's Club. I never had a really good set of knives until I bought this set. It has two extra slots for if I buy extra knives. That's wonderful! I'm sure they won't match the set but I will buy the brand. These knives are very sharp. The weight is very nice. I really don't know why I struggled so long without a great set of knives. It is worth every penny to buy a great set. I'm glad I bought them
