I was extra excited to get this set. The set I previously had (wink wink) has been in use for over 10 years. Notice I said previously had because let me tell you something.  As soon as I cut my first red pepper it was love at first slice. It glided through that pepper so effortlessly.  I had a favorite knife in my old set that I used for everything,  even things I shouldn't have used it on. I can gladly say that knife has been retired.  This never dull set feels good in your hand and is easy on the eyes. I have cut so many things with this set in the past few days that I have nowhere to store the stuff. I help friends with meal prep and wished I had a carrying case for my set to travel with me. Believe me they really are that good.  Easy choice hands down!
