Very awesome set and great value for the money!
This was an early Christmas present for me from my wife. She let me make the selection, and these knives rock! Sharp as anything out of the case, I gave them a light hone with the steel and then proceeded to chop slice and dice a bunch of stuff for dinner tonight. The knives slid right through whatever I was cutting and held their edge without a problem. The case is very nice for when I want to take them with me to holiday catering events I do.I also ordered the Mercer 400/1000 grit and 3000/6000 whetstones, along with angle guides to keep these so sharp that I could do open heart surgery with them :-D.These would also be great for culinary students since it also includes a washable pastry bag with tips, ruler, extra pockets in the case, plating tool, paring knife and a pocket thermometer as well as a sturdy case.You know what they say...take care of your tools and they will take care of you. I haven't sharpened them yet, because you can use them as soon as you wash them. RECOMMENDED.

Excellent Value Very Good Knives
A wonderful range of knives. Using this as my starter kit for good knives. The case is very well made. To my surprise, I've used the included "Mercer Rules" nearly every day. It's easy to clean also. I have kept my knives cleaned and dried each time. Not a speck of rust or discoloration. The included melon-baller has been a godsend too. It's very sharp and I've used it to clean out peppers, squash and zucchini. The peeler is used nearly every day too. I gave away my old sharpening steel since this one is so much better than what I had. The only thing I replaced was the thermometer with a quick read digital model. I have not used the pastry bags yet. The knives and peeler have great grips. The chef's knife comes out every time I step into the kitchen. Now I can see why some people love a particular knife! I had planned on purchasing one good knife at a time when i came across this set. Then I figured I could always return the set when half or more failed to meet my expectations. It didn't take much cooking to realize what a fantastic value I had. I have suggested this set to several friends and as gifts. I had planned on having my new knives professionally sharpened, but they are already very sharp. Try these knives then make your decision.

Mercer set perfect for a young adult completing the kithchen set.
This was given a a gift to my son for his college years. He absolutely loves it. He is an absolute Foody. These knives are perfect for his use which is not a commercial kitchen. But he is using all of the items within the set. He likes that it can be taken anywhere if needed.

Worth your money
Little pricey but definitely cheaper than what my school offers. Thank you for making it affordable, especially for students. It’s more than enough and durable for a beginner.

Good for school
I initially bought them for culinary school and have had them for over 2 months and my chef knife still has a pretty shard edge. The pack also comes with all the knives you need if you’re just starting at a kitchen or school. And it’s not too big so it’s very easy to store and doesn’t take up space. Overall it’s a great purchase and i recommend for anyone who plans on starting culinary school.

Great knives!
My son is taking culinary classes so we chose this pack of knives because they have all the knives he needed and a few extra. He loves them. He uses them in class and when he cooks at home he pulls his trusty set out. He keeps them sharp and as my youngest son says to me after helping cut veggies for a family BBQ, "I cut my finger Mom, his knives are sharp!!" Showing me a nice chunk he took out of his finger.
