These knives are razor-sharp and it changes the life of a very amateur cook to have this kind of utensil. So overall I'm pretty happy with my purchase. The only reservations I would make is that the knives 4, 3 are very similar and have similar uses and in fact I would have preferred one of the 3 there is smaller. The choice of sizes and shapes is not well balanced in my opinion. Hone worth it too. Not that these knives needs it, but for other knives that you have at home, it really is better than can be a normal sharpens knives. Finally the handles of knives have a little fragile the air and I hope they will in time. That said, overall, I'm very happy anyway.
