I bought this set last Christmas on eBay for a lot, lot less. All the knives and the block are made in China. I was leery at first, but to my surprise the knives have held their edge after much abuse. Razor sharp!
The handle is well balanced and comfortable to hold. I don't know the exact detail of this alloy (301 steel, and 18/10 stainless) versus other brands. Under careful inspection, you can faintly see where the handle is fused to the blade. Thus I know the knife is not machined from one solid block of metal. So their claim is true?! The blade is brittle so try not to bang the blade against a harder material. Over all, I am very satisfied with the set (for what I paid for).
The only "Porsche" I may ever be able to afford in my life...
If you want pure/extreme quality but don't care much about design, get the Global.These knifes have an awesome design, are light and well balanced. They are so sharp that cutting is really efortless.
The set also includes pretty much all the basic knives that are needed in a kitchen (except perhaps a bread knife that can be purchased separately).
Highly recomended.
