Title: Great knives...still, 5 years later
Product review: The etched name on each knife is as helpful as I thought it would be.I have never had knives that require me to sharpen them so it took some getting use to. But the "new" edge is always nice and makes cooking easier.I like the handles and balance as well. The steak knives are the only negative. They are not very "weighty" or sturdy. It would also be nice if they came with their own small block. The other knives and the shears are all good quality.Also, you will have 3 empty slots in the block. I bought more knives to match (3.5-inch a paring knife, 5.5-inch bagel knife, and a 5-inch boning knife). They cost me another $60 but, since I cook a lot, they are very useful in the kitchen.MAY 2007 UPDATE: The Steak knives are spot rusting, but the large knives are as good as new. Would buy again.DEC 2008 UPDATE: All of the large knives have held up. The spot rusting is minimal and has not gotten any worse than a year ago; their serated edges aer still good.
