One quick note to those who are complaining about these knives rusting, that is actually a sign of a good quality knife with high quality steel. If you don't treat them like a five dollar stainless steel piece of junk you bought at Walmart and these will last you for years. Don't leave these things in water to soak, don't put them through the dishwasher, and be careful because these things are sharp. First time I used one after using Cutco knives for years I cut myself because I expected some kind of resistance while cutting an onion instead it cut through the onion like a lightsaber.
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.

If you’re hard-up for space, try this …
I almost didn’t buy these - being unsure of where they’d fit-in in a cramped kitchen. As positioned the medium and smaller knives in front slide out easily (at an angle). The butcher knife in the center requires sliding the case forward a few inches. I can see where a busy chef fight find that inconvenient. However, for occasional use it’s not much of an issue.The knives? Just arrived. I’ll update the review in the future. I can say that the box and the glass case are easily twice as heavy as I expected. As others have noted, it would be difficult to knock it over. Nice level cushioned base. Now if I can just convince myself to actually use these rather than simply admiring the way they complement the kitchen … :)After one week, I couldn’t be happier. The knives are of excellent quality. Very sharp. I’ve mainly sliced onions and peppers and trimmed fat off meat to this point. Also, great for slicing an English muffin in two without destroying it in the process. I remember from my earlier fishing days the substantial difference in feel and function between a cheap everyday knife and a top quality (fully forged) pricier knife like this. (Try dressing-out a 25 lb salmon with something cheap.) But not everyone needs knives of this quality. For 90% of everyday kitchen use a much cheaper set will do fine. So thus beautiful set is more of a luxury item in my case than a necessity. And I’m always happy to make the kitchen look a little nicer. :)

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.
