I bought this set three months ago and have been very pleased. I also bought a boning knife, tomato knife, and a 6" chef's knife. All are heavy duty and sharp. I haven't had any issues with rusting even when leaving them in the sink for a few hours. Before buying this set, I also looked at Wusthof and Henckles. These knives are very similar to the Henckles Pro S line. I also have a couple of the Pro S knives and find that the Calphalon knives are of similar quality. I'm glad I didn't spend so much more for one of the other sets!
