omg wow!
By SAr
i got these to replace a department store brand set of knives I had for 8 years. OMG! even with all the sharpening i did to my old knives, these cut through things like they were hot butter! i'm an enthusiast cook in the kitchen (by no means a chef) so these live in "my domain". my favorite knives to use are the santoku and nakiri. claimed as VG-1, my small paring knife's tip bent a good deal when it slipped onto my granite countertop (ugh). still, i enjoy the balance, look, and feel of these knives. don't let them sit in water for a long time, they'll rust. AVOID dishwasher so as not to void the warranty. hand wash and dry immediately for longer life...and looks!

Just what I was looking for
By zhanai
I have large hands, so the Katana/Santoku style gives me more room than most styles. The blade "twists" 90 degrees to become the core of the handle. It is a full tang design that is quite beautiful to look at. The acid etching adds to that appeal (which you really can't fully appreciate in the photos). They are well balanced and I work them better than anything else I have owned to date. I will not be looking for anything else while this set is still around.They are made of a slightly softer steel than most professional grade cutlery I have used, but they sharpen easier because of that. All around I am beyond pleased and would recommend them at full price, so that makes them a bargain if you can shave off some $c-notes$ here at Amazon!

By PJ
I spent about a month looking around at various shops for a great set of knives. This is what I ended up ordering, They are razor sharp! The material is made of thirty-three layers of stainless steel, has an outstanding ability to retain an edge and proven strength with VG-1.Nothing feels better in your hand than these handles, they are not made for small hand though but for me they feel great. The material used to make the knife handle is much more important than you might think. Wooden handles have a tendency to rot or corrode. A corroded handle will make the blade fit loosely, which can be dangerous. These feel and great they are less likely to break than many other handles and are not overly heavy.The way that a knife handle is designed is important. The part of the blade that goes into the handle (called the tang) should go all the way through on both sides. Many knife tangs only go part of the way through the knife's handle or on one side. This may cause the blade to come loose, but this has a full tang. They are well balanced and you need that to make sure you don't cut your selfCutting with these tools is great since slicing is so easy.. I have tried with other knives, but never got as good of results as with this set. These are worth every penny, but do take care of them! They do need hand washing.
