Everything is in the title, the knives are beautiful, well stand up because heavier than plastic knives. Being made of a block, there is little risk of breakage at the handle. These knives really cut very well, even attention for children because the blade has already had because of my finger !!! They spend the dishwasher regularly (at least 3 times a week for 1 month) and for the moment no surprises, spot or rust. See in time ... Anyway I highly recommend this brand.
