I have normally purchased knife sets from Russell Hobbs, salter, pro cook, etc and they've all been great. But this set? I'm truly amazed. The knives are so comfortable to hold, they have a good weight and are easy to use and clean. The knife sharpener that is integrated in the block is amazing, it works really quickly without that awful noise and I can't possibly loose it! I got the set that has a utensil block with it aswell. It is easy to keep organised, the utensils themself are very durable, easy to clean, and I personally find that food doesn't stick to them as much, even if you get sauce on the wooden part of the handle. Added bonus.. the two blocks can sit separately or they can connect together by some good strong magnets! Value for money is spot on, sharpness is great, lots of room if you want to add any yourself, it looks awesome, extra features you wouldn't typically find and it even comes with steak knives!!
