Alright, first and foremost, great knives. Cut like a dream, look great, feel great in the hand with the exception of the paring knife, but I probably shouldn’t be trying to use it with a cutting board (as opposed to cutting/paring/peeling something in the air) because there isn’t a ton of room under the handle and that hurts the hand.Oh, and the kitchen shears aren’t terribly ergonomic either because of the way the handles are shaped. They’re certainly nice, and I like that they’re included in the block and even have a little bottle-opener cutout, but there’s a pretty good reason that most handles are rounded and not straight like these ones because if you try to slide your hand all the way inside them, it’s gonna hurt to do the repetitive cutting motion…Bear in mind that the “6 knives” is a little misleading because it’s only 4 knives plus the scissors, plus the sharpening rod. Got it?OK, so good knives, very pretty, time to talk about the weird stuff!The description says “built in sharpening rod,” and I assumed that meant your knives were *automatically* sharpened by putting them into the block somehow. Like when you put them in and pulled them out, they’d be kept sharp by friction again some sort of sharpening surface. Am I crazy for thinking that? Because the “built in” sharpening rod is just a normal rod that’s included in the set.You pull it out of the “block” and then hone/sharpen your knives. I haven’t needed to do that yet, but it’s just a normal rod… Furthermore, a quick youtube video showed me a rod that had a special sort of “ramp,” let’s call it, near the base of the rod to help you with your knife angle when sharpening. This doesn’t have that. It goes from a perfectly flat hand guard, let’s call it, to the rod portion, so I guess you sorta have to know how to use one ahead of time…? I’ll have to figure it out when the time comes.After that, the “smart” portion of the block seems to be that you can *plug it in, charge it, and use it to sanitize your knives with an ultraviolet light.* While that’s kinda interesting, I don’t really see it as super practical. Why would you put away a dirty knife? You’d wash it and dry it first, right? Wouldn’t the little fan that’s built into the block just end up sucking up airborne germs and whatever else from inside your kitchen and deposit that on your knives…? Why do I need to charge my *knife block* of all things?I’m no expert when it comes to knives besides knowing what cuts well and what doesn’t â and these cut really nicely â but the extra gimmicks don’t hold water if you ask me. The price seems good, but again, I’m not someone who’d know any better. All I can really tell you is how it works, that it cuts really well, and that it looks gorgeous. Maybe that’s the point here: aesthetics first and foremost? I don’t want to impugn the knives or the company, though…4/5 for quality knives, they lose a star because of the weird gimmicks and borderline false advertising. (Mostly confusing advertising, I guess…)

Por el precio me esperaba algo con mÃ¡s calidad, el soporte tanto de los mangos de los cuchillos como del porta cuchillos es de plÃ¡stico, no se ven nada resistentes. AÃºn lo cargarÃ© para ver cÃ³mo funciona pero muy mala compra

Cool but feels like a gimmick
The knives are not that high quality, I really doubt they are going to hold their edge. The block is decent, what you’d expect for a cheap knife set but nothing special. The UV light feels like a gimmick but it’s a cool idea. Overall it’s a decent cheap set if you really need knives and you’re okay with buying cheap knowing that they’re not going to last.

Not good! This product is beatiful but however the color fades of knives and not dishwaser safe.
