This is a perfect set of knives for any home.  I have never been able to keep my knives sharp until I purchased this set.  I had a set pf J A Henckels but could never get them really sharp and it has been about 20 years.  I purchased these and realized how dull my other set really was.  The knife sharpener is very easy to use and works.  I highly recommend buying these knives and I don't think you will need to buy another set.  This has all that you need.
