These a really nice quality knives.  They come wrapped really well and are already nice and sharp.  I really like that the sharpener is so easy to use.  Place in the knife into the slit and push the lever up and down about 10 times.  The knives have a nice heft to them and the handles fit well in my hand.  The only reason I took a star off was because the knife holder is huge.  It takes up quite alot of counter space, which not everyone will have.
