The durability and elegance for the price is unmatched. I use many other stainless steel products like celebrity cookware, so it fits right in with most of my kitchen things. My dad and sister got me hooked on these knives they stay sharp for long periods of times and are not so heavy it’s hard for me to hold, which is important for me because I have arthritis. I absolutely hate buying kitchen items that do not last and I can honestly say that this brand is one that does for a lifetime!
