The knives are comfortable to handle and are sauscharf, some of my fingernails and the bristles of the dish brush had been squashed too ;-) So far I had always those with plastic handle, they are here in one piece and it can in principle break anything. The blades are made of special steel and nice, I like it very much, because it is precisely when chopping onions I take preference to such diameters. Even tomatoes can be easily cut with it, because you could tell how sharp they are. The bread knife is a little hard for my taste, my old with plastic handle is much easier and more enjoyable for me to handle, cut does it perfectly. The chef's knife is indeed the largest of the four, but still easy to handle, there's my old heavy and bulky.
The knife block is inside of brushes like conformable material so that the blades do not scratch and due to its high weight it is very safe. Because there is no ready-made cut-outs, must look into how exactly how and where it intercalates the blades you. The match always, even if it is non-WMF knife. , Up to 7 knives find in place, I use him currently with 5 pieces, but it's still enough space available.
The knives are dishwasher safe, I clean expensive knife but basically by hand, then they stay longer nice and sharp.
I was not sure at first whether such a Chrome Shiny knife block fits into my kitchen, so far I've always had a wooden, but the design of this one is classy and timeless, so that the knives almost everywhere fits well.
