I purchased the knives together with the magnet block. Purchase reason was certainly the appearance because the knife on a cheese buffet look really nice. This is in my eyes after a few practices but also all and therefore I can not guarantee buy recommendation for this set. The blades are much too small to be able to good to be in an adult hand and decent cut it. You can hardly exert pressure and cut a wide piece of cheese already not properly alone of the blade length forth. Only the Parmesan Knife I find quite good to use. I will therefore buy me a set of longer blades.
