Bought this set for my 35 yr. old daughter to replace a common block set she used for years.  She wanted a nicer set since she is an adventurous chef now and she is well pleased with her gift.  I also had opportunity at family gathering to use these tools and wow, what a difference from the everyday knives we are sold at our local stores.  These are top of the line knives and they perform so easily.  Don't get your fingers in there, very sharp and accurate to chop, slice, cut.  I can see these lasting for YEARS AND YEARS.

Pros: Extremely well made and very sharp.  Lots of sizes.  Last a lifetime.
Cons: None
