I love the standing glass display case, its easy to see which knife you're grabbing before you grab it, the blade doesn't get dulled on wood, and it looks beautiful. If I had to complain I'd make the complaints that it doesn't come with a knife sharpener and that the case is way heavier than I expected it to be, which is actually a bonus if you're worried about it tipping over.
Due to their delicate nature in terms of corrosion resistance, it is essential that you clean these knives shortly after use and then hand-dry them as soon as you are able. DO NOT leave them out to dry as you will drastically reduce the lifespan, and DO NOT put them in the dishwasher as you will ruin them. You're probably wondering what you're paying for then, if these are so susceptible to corrosion. You're paying for a sharper edge than your average knife with greater retention. These things are SHARP, you will cut yourself if you're not careful.
Regarding the build quality, these things are very well-built. The handles are full-tang with rivets which is important for longevity. Their other set claims to have an adhesive that is resistant to blunt and heat trauma but I don't mess with anything besides full tang when it comes to heavy-use knives. The handles are filed to be completely flush, and compared to brands like Cuisinart or even Henckels, they are a bit thin. However, they are easy to hold and feel very good in the hand. There is a reason these knives are the primary choice for most culinary schools in the nation. My only regret is this set neither contains a Santoku, nor does it contain a place to hold one. I feel like it would have been smarter to include a Santoku over a bread knife, or even over the boning knife. The chef's knife is awesome though, and the paring and utility knives are extremely useful. This is a great set that will serve you for many years if you treat them right.
If you don't know Mercer is big in the Culinary circuit, especially in the culinary schools. I figured if our future chefs are learning on Mercer quality then why not give them a shot. After all the case is about as good looking as any I have ever seen, and the knife set got really high review.
On un-boxing you notice the knives are really good looking, with a great shine and attractive black handle. You have to put together the holder but that took only a minute or two. I have to say they nailed the presentation, and these things shine on the counter unlike any wooden block could do.
On use I was amazed. These things are sharp, heavy, and balanced. I find myself switching between the Japanese Mac for dicing, and the German knives for harder jobs. Also, most of the sets I looked at had way to many knives. Most of my use revolves around a Chefs knife and a paring knife but I do find myself using the utility knife more and more.
My advice is to give these a shot if you looking at the other Germans, and the money you save can go into a quality Japanese chefs knife for the finer jobs in the kitchen.

The stand is surprisingly nice too - solid and sturdy, with a fully padded base that is weighed down, likely filled with sand. Will update the review in future after more long-term use. Likely a loyal Mercer fan moving forward.
