I got these knives as a trial based on good Amazon reviews. I wasn't sure if they would hold an edge, since they are stamped knives, but figured I'd try them for a while to see how the edge held up. However, I was shocked when after only 2 weeks of use cutting veggies and fruits I found several burrs and nicks on the knives! I only use a quality wood cutting board like this: Proteak Teak Cutting Board Rectangle 16-by-12-by-2-Inch End Grainto cut with my knives, so these knives couldn't hold up to gentle daily use. That is NOT quality and certainly not worth the money they are asking for this product. That is more what I would expect from a cheap no name brand from a local variety store! I've returned them for a FULL refund! I would not recommend these knives at all. If you want a good knife set go for the Wustof or Henckles brands. But make sure you get the good ones, not the cheaper marketed ones. Henckel does sell knives made in china, I personally would not recommend them. I've used Henckel knives before and still have a small set I've had for 25 years and they are still good. The forged steel is what you want not the stamped low quality knives or made in china knives.

Awesome set, made with a high quality steel that is a little softer but can regain an edge very easily as opposed to some high-carbon steel of low quality that may be able to cut a hammer when it is new but once its dull needs to be disposed of. Would I trade them for a nice set of wustoffs, yes but I would also have to spend a couple more c notes to do it
