The plastic handle is rather to be classified as appropriate. He sits comfortably in the hand and is processed properly, but unfortunately the light sculpture seems not really high quality. A bit harder I would have preferred and the blade may be slightly thicker. When lubricating a slice of bread but it bends quite strong through (ie flexible bend, no permanent bend -> return to their old form back).
Nevertheless, value (currently available for around 20) is super here and the sharpness, the knives are probably hard to beat.
I had to get them even just before Christmas (2014) in the flash range of 14.99 - Could not be better.
The six knife lay the way loose in a plain envelope which was then placed in a box, but stuck to each blade around to protect a sheet, is therefore the right.
