This is one good-looking knife set, and the knives work very well. The thin design of the holder doesn't take up a lot of space, yet keeps your knives very handy. If you're short on counter space, but don't want to rummage through a drawer to find a knife, this set is perfect. It looks great on our predominantly black granite counters against the tan stone backsplash. I would definitely buy this product again!

Purchased these knives about a week ago and so far I’m pleased with their performance. I’ve used them to cut steak, tomatoes, onion, zucchini etc and I really like how the cut vegetables the best. It leaves a clean slice through the tomato without crushing it. I’ve washed them in the dishwasher once so far and they look good. As I’ve mentioned I’ve only had them a week so I will update if anything changes but overall I would recommend these for the price. Plus the all black blade and handle looks nice in my kitchen.

My husband and I love this set of knives. Not only are the blades sharp yet easy to clean but the stand itself is unique and I don't mind it sitting on the counter in sight even if the knives aren't in use. The stand is made of a clear acrylic that holds each knife in a sort of fan-shaped pattern. Its very different from the traditional wooden block (I didn't notice that the picture is how they look in the stand; at first glance, I just thought it was how they were photographed). The blade sharpener and knuckle guard were icing on the cake!
