These are probably the best knives I have ever used for cooking. However, the knives don’t fit very well in the knife block in some spots. Some of the spots for knives are much too large for the knives provided. Also the addition of a 9th steak knife does not make much sense. All that said, these knives really are superior to others and I will definitely make another purchase from the company. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
