Honestly, for the price, I think this is a fairly good set of knives. This was my upgrade from very cheap knives, and the set has held out well so far. The knives are sharp enough to do the job and handle well. Don't expect an expensive set for cheap, but they make a great starter set.

The knives are just not sharp. I have dollar store knives that cut better than these do. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone.

These knives are priced extremely well but will absolutely not hold a sharp edge. The steak knives are just cheesy bits of stamped metal that are almost as flimsy as plastic.

It would be better to slowly assemble a quality set over time if you must be budget conscious. Also, there are better set choices for just $50 or so more.
