I would recommend this product. However, I urge you to go elsewhere to buy the product. I've had nothing but subpar kitchen knives in the past, but these knives quickly showed me what I had been missing. The knife is a single piece of metal=Brilliant. Now as for my low eating. Ordered the black handled knife set, but was quickly disappointed when I got the wrong set. That's after I waited 3 weeks just for them to ship. So I bit my tongue and the ones that were sent aren't bad looking it just is disappointing when you pay for something you expect to receiver what you bought. I sound like I'm whining, but incompetence should be addressed. I believe every time an order is messed up the seller should have to return some of the money that was paid. I would guarantee there would be less than 2% of orders from any merchant messed up then. However, in this case it's still the same old story of where the merchant makes the mistake and the consumer literally and figuratively is the only one that pays.Great Quality Knives, though.
