Get this set you won’t be disappointed. Stays sharp, well balanced, comfortable for pinch grip, and they look amazing. Zwilling continues to impress me with their amazing quality. The cutting board is surprisingly nice, I figured it was just to pad the amount pieces included but it’s also hefty and high quality! The self sharpening block is a huge time saver, every time you insert and remove the knives they are honed to a razor sharp edge. Even the scissors included feel great and are super sharp.
