Bought as a gift for my son in chef school
After doing a lot of research on Amazon, I decided to buy this set of knives for my high school son who is studying to be a chef. I figured that for a first set, the price could not be beat. My son is quite happy with these knives.
I also bought my son the knife sharpener made by the same manufacturer for use with these knives, but he wanted a different kind of sharpener.
A great starter set
This is my first set of "real" knives, and they are great! Very comfortable to grip and use, and they are super sharp. When they first arrived, my roommate ran his thumb over the edge of the chef's knife and expressed skepticism about its sharpness. So he picked up a piece of paper and sliced at it. The cut was quick and smooth. He was impressed. My experience cutting tomatoes--often a good test--has been the same.

Excellent Product
I sent these knives to my son for a birthday gift and he says that he loves them!
Best knife ever
I just bought this set of knife for my girldfriend as an anniversary gift because she it's about to begin in Chef School next summer, the quality it's amazing, i would recommend this set to everyone.
Buy it with your eyes closed, you won't regret.

I didn't.
Obviously the most important trait of a knife is how sharp it is. These are simply the sharpest knives I have ever used. I've used cheap ones that cheat and use a serration to achieve sharpness, and I've used pricier Henkels and similar. A sharper knife is actually a safer knife, since your cuts will be precise. A duller knife won't cut where you expect and can cause injuries that way. To give an idea of how sharp these are, I was able to easily slice a bagel without using a saw motion at all. Not impressed? I did the same with a ripe tomato. ... Read More
