Came safely packaged with the blades individually stored in cardboard for protection.Knives themselves supplied razor sharp. Literally razor sharp, I was able to shave some hair off my arm as a test.Handles are ergonomic and as such, very comfortable to use.The rotating storage block itself I think could be made out of a slightly nicer material, but that's just me being picky. Given the fact that it rotates, it is very convenient and space efficient. If you have young children you may wish to pass on this, as it does make your knives very accessible.Overall, 9.5/10. Excellent quality knives for the price.

I purchased this set last year after having previously owned Joseph Joseph knife setThe knives are still very sharp, however imam not particularly happy with the design of the knives and the carousel base.The knives are hard to remove and put back in carousel.Each knife has to be put on certain spots since the openings are based on size of knife..Overall the knives work well but I prefer the base of the previous set.

Great set of knives, perfect combination of sizes and serrated/non serrated for all your daily needs. Sharp, comfortable to hold and the block looks stylish on the bench!
