I'm a graduate student who's just moved into a new apartment so I wasn't look for anything fancy or expensive and certainly didn't want a set of 14 knives. I went with this set because of the price and the inclusion of scissors and chopping board. I've had the product a week now and have been pleased with the sharpness and size of the knives (I think I was used to far more blunt ones) and I really like the board - it's solid. If you're looking for something pretty simple for chopping your vegetables this is a good set at a good price.

These are pretty good knives for the price. I have a set of Wustoff Grand Prix at home, these are no where near as nice, but they get the job done. the knives are a little light, so they are not as confidence inspiring as the Wustoff, but this set costs a fraction of the price of a Wustoff chef's knife, so they are a good value. If you have never owned a set of good knives, you will be extremely happy with these...heck, for the price, you may be happy no matter what. 3 stars on the knives, 5 stars on the value.
