These are excellent quality , hard wearing , dishwasher proof steak knives . I used to have wood ones but they would fall apart , these knives will never fall apart as they are solid stainless steel and I am so pleased with them , they are still like new after years of daily use .Great knives. Match my existing cutlery.The knives seem adequate and well made, thought they would have been in a better box, and not the flimsy one they arrived inKnives seem very good value but only 11 in the box, not 12.
