The first thing I really like is that wooden block holds the knives with the blades horizontally so they don't rest on the cutting edge firing storage. The knives have good balance between the the blade and the handle and they look great too. The wood block is stained a dark brown and the stainless steel finish of the knives is accented with a black ergonomic material that improves your grip. The price point is a great value too.
