Excellent knives!
Good price and extremely sharp. After honing it the first time, I was able to slice through a tomato without holding it with my free hand.
These are NOT the cheap, serrated, stainless band-steel “Ginsu’s” one’s you see on late-night TV; you know the knives sawing through a soda can.
Basically I have found that the knife I use mostly is the Santoku. It is nearly the perfect knife, absolutely indispensable!
Make sure you buy a Wusthof sharpener, the rod sharpener is great for fine honing, but a Wusthof will put a razor’s edge on any blades!
(only cons: They are carbon steel, so they will rust; [just don't let your brother leave them in the sink and they will last forever]. They don’t hold an edge as long as the Henkels, but considering they are 1/3 the price…I can live with it!

I`m not a professional chef, but I feel like one when I use these knives. They are very sharp with a wonderful grip and weight.I have them beautifully displayed on my counter and I use them daily.I think they are an exceptional value and you won`t be disappointed!

These are highly rated by Consumer Reports and a great buy. Well balanced, hold a great edge and even look great. No longer the Ginsu of the old TV ads but a top notch knife set.
