Very pleased with this purchase.  Forged Premio is an entry level block set, with an affordable price, and all the qualities that higher priced sets have.  the knives are made with German steel, and have a forged bolster which adds weight and balance to the knife.  I love the comfort in the rounded styling, as well as the well thought out assortment of knives.  Happy that this set includes a carving knife which was not included in my previous set.  The steak knives are a great addition and make this one purchase complete.
