Pros -
My god don't cut yourself, these things are sharp. After cutting through the fatty end of a grilled strip steak like it wasn't even there. Seriously, they are sharp. Yes, we had a less than average set to begin with and that does affect the impression but these did not let my expectations down.

- Quality - You get what you pay for, simple as that. When I handled the three I used, vegetable utility knife, bread and Santoku, you can just feel how well they are put together. The handle was more comfortable than I thought it would be and nicer looking in hand. 

Small cons
-It would have been nice to have some variance in the block color. Sure, we can stain it something else but why not just offer it as an option?
