This set is a fantastic starter set has been utilized so one of the knives as quickly in the pic has a little burn on the manage and the simple steak knife idea is damaged. Cutco offers a for life guarantee so all you would have to do is mail them in and get complimentary replacements on them, I would myself but I just need to sell these as quickly as possible. These knives are really the finest set I've ever possessed I know have 2 sets and don't need them all. This set has a paring knife, turning fork, spatula spreader, 9' carver, 93/4 slicer, 91/4 French chef, and a 63/4 small carver. Consists of the honey finished oak block.
