What a wonderful kitchen knife set. It arrived carefully packed and in pristine condition.The handles are very comfortable to hold and fit my small hands comfortably and securely without slipping. The blades are all very sharp, and the collection contains everything you need without excess knives that you won't use. They look, feel, and perform like higher priced knives. They slice through a wide variety of meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables with little effort. The knife block is also great quality and, with its slim profile, can fit anywhere. I would highly recommend this set.
