Second, they are beautiful and make your sound like a kitchen WARRIOR. The "Shing" sound in movies from unsheathing a sword...yeah...these knives make that sound whenever you remove them from the block. That little tidbit alone is enough to make you feel like a Spartan.
Third, they cut BEAUTIFULLY. They are very sharp when they arrive and nothing was amiss. Wonderful quality and solid handles for superb balance.
Last but not least, THEY LINE UP PERFECTLY IN THE KNIFE BLOCK. The whole thing looks so sleek on my counter. I'm so please with these.
I've used and washed them several times already. They are true to form.
Update 01/189/2016:
These knives are still too good to be true. The alignment in the block is still awesome. There are NO spots from rust. They are all still wonderfully sharp. As long as you are properly caring for them
They are sleek and stylish and not too expensive and that's what I was looking for. I wanted red handles, but this is the next best.
They are moderately sharp out of the box and could use a little sharpening to make them super sharp, but they are fine out of the box.
The only knock I have is that I would prefer the block to have a sharpener built in instead of the sharpening rod that is provided.
I've had these for a few weeks and am quite happy with them. I expect them to last a very long time since I do not intend to ever put them in a dishwasher.
The real reason why I purchased these knives is because I absolutely hate serrated blades. Even the steak knives are not serrated in this set, which is what I wanted. I like to sharpen my knives with a wet stone. I have to cut with very sharp knives. Always. These came very sharp. I have actually cut my fingers a couple times already. Be careful! ha ha
