English/Polish. I am gonna write this short review in two languages to help you out with your choice. Napiszę tę recenzję w dwóch językach, żeby pomóc Ci w wyborze. The knives are well made and well balanced. The edges are sharp (15 degrees) and I mean it. They easily shave your hand hair if needed. Tomato test passed easily, I believe they will stay with me for a long time. Noże są dobrze wyważone i nieźle leżą w dłoni. Są ostre, naostrzone na 15 stopni, bez problemu golą włosy na rękach. Test pomidora też nie jest problemem. Wyglądają również ładnie Będę używał i testował dalej.

Coltelli con lama in vero Damasco, disegno elegante e ben visibile. Taglio perfetto. Bilanciati, manico comodo e antiscivolo anche con mani umide. Esteticamente belli, fanno la loro figura in cucina senza strafare. Rapporto qualità/prezzo davvero interessante per la categoria. Buona opzione sia per uso quotidiano che per chi cerca qualcosa di più raffinato senza spendere una fortuna. Consigliati.

Almost supernaturally sharp! Note: If you are at all clumsy, DO NOT buy these knives. These will cut you if you look at them wrong. [Very slight exaggeration.] I am a knife collector (mostly high-end pocket knives) so I'm not easily impressed, but I do like a deal. Simply put: I've never used a better kitchen knife for the money. Period. These things make my Wustofs feel like dollar store knives. The factory edge is literally 'hair-whitling' sharp. Not 'shaving sharp.' That's comparatively easy to achieve. Look up the difference. You will be amazed. With the santoku (Asian blade) chef's knife, you can actually cut a 0.5mm thin slice off of a tomato under only the weight of the knife itself. Just pull back. As to the quality. They seem incredibly solid and well-made. The blade steel is a San Mai 'Damascus' construction, essentially sandwiching an extremely hard cutting edge steel (maybe 62 Rockwell or higher) between two layers of slightly softer multi-alloy swirled (folded) Damascus steel. This is ideal as it allows the cutting edge to be crazy sharp and to stay that way for longer between sharpenings, while the cladding steel is able to take more of a beating without chipping or being damaged. Plus, they just look damned good!! Subtle, but good. The weight is great, if a little on the heavy side. The handle shape is comfortable and confidence-inspiring. The balance is good. Not perfect, but very good. Maybe the tiniest bit tang-heavy. The one BIG downside, if you're not a really festidious user, is that they are not going to be stainless. Many really good steels aren't. This means that you absolutely MUST clean and dry them immediately after use. Not after dinner, letting them sit covered in tomato juice for an hour. I mean right after you make the last cut. For me, it's worth it. I'll update this review in a few months when I know more about their durability and edge retention.
