I bought one of the paring knives and the little Deba knife just to see what the quality of the steel was like in them. I was quite impressed with what I received.
Out of the box both were quite sharp, after a little time on a good stone, hard Arkansas and a black finish stone, the knife holds an impressive edge and retains it fairly well through normal kitchen use.
Obviously the blade is stamped and ground to shape but the fit and finish of the blade and handle are very good and I find these little knives quite handy around the galley for most lite duty chores. Cutting veggies, slicing up stew meat and other lite duty work both knives are great.
I even disassembled a frying chicken as a test to see how they stood up, keep in mind I didn't chop bones but rather sliced through the joints and I split the breast with a larger knife as well, the knives did quite well working out of their league.
You can't go wrong for the price and you will find these a nice addition to your kitchen.
One thing you will need to do is get a good stone and learn to sharpen a knife properly to maintain the razor edge.
