I was genuinely surprised at how sharp this knives are and being cute. Recommend!Last year I got a set just like this ... from a different company. And, to be honest - there is NO difference between the set I got back then and this one. They're packaged the same way, same set, same colors. This is something I am noticing more and more.Anyway ...Like that set, I love the idea of the bright colors . It is easy to see what I need and grab it right away without having to look at the hand, pull the knife, and "oh, wrong one". Color-coding is definitely a time-saver.They are packaged quite well, and decent enough to be a gift for any occasion.These are VERY sharp and extremely functional. My others are about a year old and STILL working without sharpening. The only thing I haven't used (same as the other set) - the peeler.Like the other set, the "grip" is sturdy and non-slip, thus it is easier to hold and control.This isn't a professional set by any means, then again most home kitchens aren't pro kitchens either.Everything i need is here, so far so good and still using it until today. works very well for me and very happy with these kitchen helpers. thanksGreat knives. Wash by hand - no dishwasher. Put them back in the sleeves to avoid chipping. They're my favorite knives.
