These knives are amazingly sharp. They are light and perfectly balanced. It’s like being in one of those commercials where they slice the skin off of a tomato. I was chopping vegetables and we had just gotten the set so my husband said use one of the new knives. I was like night and day. I’ve never used a better knife. The drudgery of cutting up food is now fun! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
