The wood block set looks good on my counter. Color of wood block is little darker than pictured. The knives are weighted properly so they're balanced in my hand. Doesn't tire my hands. Knives are not heavy.. The knife edges are sharp and last a long time before needing sharpening. The 8 steak knives have the everidge, can't sharpen them when dull. Good set for beginner cooks. 
Wood block still has 3 empty slots to expand the set.
Have photos, for some reason can't upload to this site.
