Fantastic Knives!
These knives are fantastic...extremely sharp and easy to handle. The bent angle takes a little getting used to. They are so sharp that the plastic sheet that I use to chop with is all cut up and have to be replaced. Even my epicurean board has scratches now. The scratches never happened with my Wusthof knives (original version). The clear block is for lack of a better word, stupid. They shouldn't even bother putting it together with these knives - utterly useless and f-ugly. Alton's cartoon face is on a couple of the knives I got but they do not bother me.

Top notch excellent quality knives
PRO:
These are excellent knives. Excellent build quality - will last a lifetime. Made with the old time samurai sword steel folding methods. Handles are water proof and virtually indestructable.
Very very sharp and hold their edge. The knife block lets you see the blades on the knives before you pull them out.
CON:
If you have BIG male hands you might find the handles to be a bit too small in diameter - I have normal male sized hands and they fit me.
The knife block takes up a LOT of counter space - i prefer a magnetic wall strip.
Expensive unless you find them on big amazon sale here like I did. Buy the set and give one or two of the knives as an xmas presents to others to cut your costs - (a single knife can cost a lot by itself) :-). So a single one of these knives is a GOOD gift.
