This is a great knife set! It has all the essentials for cutting and chopping including kitchen shears and a knife sharpener. I really like the small footprint which makes it an excellent choice for smaller countertops or a starter set for a bachelor or bachelorette. The knife handles are comfortable to grip and use and the blades are SHARP! The wood block is very nice quality. Absolutely recommend!They look soooo nice, excellent quality!I spend a lot of time cooking for my family and knives are a daily need for me. I wanted to invest in something quality that would make doing my prep work easier and quicker. This set of 3 knives really help me get the job done ! These knives are beautiful and very sharp. They slice through even harder vegatables quite easily. They have a nice and ergonomic black walnut handle that's triple riveted .The blade is advertised as 67 layers of Damascus steel. The knives have a fishbone pattern on the blade that's quite attractive. The set comes with :8 inch Chef’s knife7 inch Japanese Santoku knife5 inch Utility knifeGift boxThis is a nice gift idea that's very functional and useful! These knives do seem a bit on the pricey side for a set of 3 but I am getting lots of use out of them. Overall, this is a nice set of 3 knives that help speed up my cutting time for prep work and cooking. The nake the job so much easier and look nice too!Great knives for the kitchenLos recomiendoThese are by far the best knifes I’ve own. They’re easy to work with and the handle is compact, so they won’t break apartI was very happy with this purchaseThese knives are great! They are completely as advertised! The pattern is true and deep. You can feel the Damascus folds in the metal. I'm 100% satisfied and my wife wants to buy a second set for display since they're so wonderful! One thing I wasn't expecting was how heavy they were. It's a good kind of heavy too. They feel solid and the weight in the handle helps all your slicing motions and makes it feel like you have more control over the knife.Edit: So after having these for a while I had noticed my chef knife was slightly bent. I assume it happened during tempering since I couldn't fix it no matter how hard I tried (it always sprang back to how bent it was, which is actually quite a good sign). It said lifetime warranty so I contacted customer service 3 times with photos but they completely ignored me and never responded even once. It's very very frustrating when they say one thing but do another. But none the less, I still really like these knives.
