I'm replacing these for a roommate because 3 of her original Eversharp Pro steak knives have literally broken straight through during use. All of her set are now missing tips because of flimsy cheap design. But more so, three of them cracked straight through about 1" up from the handle. Cheap and not worth the money. You are better off saving up for a decent set of forged blades. Serrated edge also tears rather then cuts through food. Completely ruins prefectly good meat. Great for slicing a tomato and thats about it...
