I love this set. I've had it for about 2 and a half months. It's very sharp and cuts the food perfectly. I love the bread knife. Set also has 6 meat knives. We eat a lot of steaks when we have guests over. And it's only natural to serve the meat with the proper utensils. So these come in handy. Knives are really easy to clean - no stains, very compact. I was able to cut myself 2 times because I wasn't careful enough, so yes.. they are SHARP. But that's good. I strongly recommend this product.
