Very nice, very sharp knives.  So much easier to work with than my old knives. Handles are really easy to grip, even for my mother-in-law who has great difficulty cutting because of her rheumatoid arthritis. I like that the knives are full tang and that I don't have to worry about the blades coming out of the handles. I also love that each one has its own protective sheath so I can put them in the drawer without damaging them.
