This item arrived in horrible condition. 3 of the knives had the tips broken off, 2 were slightly bent, and most of the handles (which were highly polished) had scuff/scratch marks on the middle as if they were thrown around excessively before packing (IE; this WASN'T a shipment issue, they HAD to be in this condition prior to being put in the package).Aside from that, the knives didn't really have a substantial or "heavy" feel in the hand, they were relatively small and sortof cheap looking. Very poor quality.
