Title: German Quality - Japanese Price
Product review: Picked up several knives from this collection last weekend from open stock on sale at Macy's. Stepped up from an older set of Hienkels "Eversharp" with some Chicago Cutlery added in. Not great at anything but also not terrible at much, worked OK for many years.All I can say is wow! I heard it said many times that for the home cook the most important tools are the cutlery but I never emagined it could make this sort of difference. Just the right amount of heft but very easy to weild and manipulate.The glass ground edge is very sharp and the protective sheaths are a very nice touch. For under $100 I got this set, 8" Chefs, 7" Santoku, 8" Kantyo, 5" Santoku all with the sheaths. I will be getting or making a block soon for them all.I will need the sharpening stone soon as well as some steak knives.Very nice set out of the box, only time will tell if they hold up.
