Title: You Get What You Pay For -- This is No Exception
Review: Don't be misled by the Sabatier name, here. These are [low priced] imports trading off of a name license (note "Sabatier Precision"). Why this fine knife-maker would tarnish its name with these subgrade knives is anybody's guess. In practicality, these knives are no different from the non-serrated sets one would see at ..other discount stores for about the same (discounted) price seen here. The materials are simply passable, the handles okay. The blades are made of thin, [low priced] steel that do not hold an edge. Forget the honing tool that comes with this set-- you will need a sharpening stone to repeatedly add an edge to these knives. Even then, this will not last beyond a few uses. This set may whet your appetite for the feel of a good, heavy, well-gripped and balanced knife, but you will have to look elsewhere for one that actually stays sharp and does what it is supposed to do.
