My chef's knife broke right at the handle after 6 months of regular use. The finish rubs off on the knives I've used daily and they require a quick sharpening every few weeks if you use them on the regular. The small knife on the end can easily be knocked out of its slot, be careful not to put it where it will get bumped and possibly fall off the counter or where kids can reach!

If you don't use knives a lot, they will probably be fine, because they look pretty. If you cook daily, do yourself a solid and PASS on these cheapies.
