The blades are sharp and the black block means this has a more sleek look that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb on a countertop. I bought this because my last set of knives were not dishwasher safe and I was tired of having to hand wash every blade every time I used one. I've run these through the dishwasher several times with no evidence of any kind of surface rust or deterioration at all. The block looks like it might be plastic or resin of some type in the pictures, but it is just black painted wood. Having a built-in knife sharpener on the block was a bonus as well.

Great quality knife set at an affordable price. It looks so expensive on my counter top. Some of the edge did chip off and I colored it in with black marker.

Very attractive and sharp.

The knifes and scissor are incredible

The weight of the larger knives are perfect and cuts great. The smaller knives cut well too but a bit too light for my liking. I would prefer a bit more weight to them so it cuts better but overall all knives are sharp and does a good job! And they look nice too! My favourite to cut with is the big chef knife and the utility knife. I would buy them as a gift for people too! Great price for the quality of knife set
