The box is elegant looking, sturdy, and all 8 knives fit in it perfectly.  The knives have a sharp edge and cut through steak like butter.  I really like the solid stainless steel feature look as well as the weighted feel to them.  Makes you feel like your dining at a high end steak house.  I hand washed the knives and immediately dried them (as recommended to prevent possible water stains, rusting, or getting nicked while in the dishwasher).  So far they have been excellent.  This would be a beautiful gift for someone who enjoys steak.
