I would have to agree with most comments: sets suck. Hubby bought me a set of SS all-in-one (handle & blade) steel knives. I wouldn't suggest them. They spend their time in a knife block in our China cabinet. It came with a steel: that gets used the most. He also bought me a good knife, that he keeps incredibly sharp.

So, buy 1 good chef's knife, make sure handle & blade separate, have a good steel, buy as you need. Good luck
