I took advantage of the BYOB special and got a myriad of different knives. I didn’t want the steak knives since my wife has a set from her mother. First, I and am so impressed with the sharpness of these knives. The handles are beautiful and so smooth. The blades are light and balanced, and they can cut threw anything. I am amazed how sharp they really are. The Nakiri knife is different than any knife I’ve used. I like it for slicing vegetables and eggs, paper thin. I got this set for my wife and the Royal Elite for my daughter.
