AWSOME! this is a must buy I bought these for my son just to get him some "decent Knives" to work with. WOW WAS I SURPRISED!!!! I have some very expensive knives and I was truly shocked at how great these knives worked, very impressed. Not everyone can afford to spend lots of bucks on knives. TRUST ME you can't go wrong with this purchase, these are SUPERIOR knives I just ordered some for myself, wish I had found them before I just paid 125 on another brand, I highly suggest you purchase this item. I have more expensive knives that do not compare to these.
