Title: not so great
Review: I was quite disappointed in the knife set I received. I am definitely not a "knife snob." I currently use Chicago Cutlery knives and think they do fairly well. The Sabatier set is incredibly dull. I know how to sharpen knives and haven't put the Sabatier knives in the dishwasher. I was trying to cut a Granny Smith apple and found that it was incredibly difficult to cut with my Sabatier set. I pulled out my old abused Chicago Cutlery knife which has been through the dishwasher a hundred times, quickly sharpened it and it cut through the same apple with complete ease. My brand new Sabatier knives which were just sharpened with the same tool barely got through the apple. By the way there is an empty slot in the block, why? The steak knives are nice and the sharpener works well on other knives, so I'd say it's worth 25 dollars, but not much more. They'd be fine for your first ever knife set.
