It looks beautiful on our countertop. It’s an up grade on our old  Henckle set, but the knives are not as heavy. Not sure if that’s good or bad. They’re easier to handle, but wonder if the quality is the same. 
I like the look of the black block, with the silver plate on top, it looks elegant. 

We thought we had an issue with the kitchen shears, missing a bumper button on one side. A new one arrived in two days! Turns out it was made that way. Years ago it was on both sides. I love the self- sharpening feature. Would recommend.
