I will try to fix this. I love the knives.

Trying out this set of Damascus Steel kitchen knives from GladiatorsGuild, the G30, was a real pleasure. I had been wanting to try this type of cutlery for a while and everything that comes with it. It's impossible to talk about Damascus Steel without explaining what it is. Well, it's an ancient forging technique and its production is through forge stretching steel into layers, reaching hundreds of layers, and its configuration is that it is carbon and molybdenum steel, which gives it tremendous resistance because as layers adhere, this contributes to its hardening, which logically will keep the knife blade sharp.I also want to make reference to Stainless Steel, which has an iron, carbon, and chromium configuration. I don't want to get too technical to avoid boring you with my participation, but I'll say something important with an anecdote. I love to cook, it's another one of my passions, and I watch some cooking shows on YouTube that I recommend to those who love cooking, such as a) Dianxi Xiaoge and b) Lisziqui Channel. In those shows, you'll see this type of cutlery in action, and I'm impressed that they use the same knife for everything. From picking vegetables to cutting meat, vegetables, chopping firewood, and even cutting their toenails (lol), the knife just works effortlessly. But when I use my Japanese stainless steel knives, I immediately notice that someone else has been using them in my kitchen.Note: This type of knife requires special care for the simple reason that it oxidizes (it doesn't contain chromium, etc.). It has several layers and will tend to darken with time (you'll notice this in the shows I recommended). Well, if you do choose this product, I sincerely hope you enjoy it as it's a handmade artisanal cutlery set, and it's beautiful. The sharpness of any knife depends on the steel, hardness, and, above all, the owner. If you like knives, the minimum is to learn how to sharpen them!

Wow are these sharp! I bought the set for my chef husband. He says the balance of them is great to work with. I wouldn't know, he won't let me use them, I get the old ones. :o)

This is a very nice set of cutlery. The patterns are very pronounced which is subjective in terms of a pro or con. So, I will just leave it at as a statement. They come in a decent roll and all were well oiled and wrapped. This is to protect the entire blade from rust and corrosion. They need proper care to stay sharp. The balance is adequate and most people won't even know if its good or not. The edge didn't need much honing, not as much as some of my other sets. For the money this set is pure fire. Good job, great cutlery.

Ok so the price is really good. The knives are Damascus steel however not of the quality I was expecting. The heft is very light and the edges were very uneven. These are not a full tang through the handle. Balance in the hand is poor. All in all I guess they are good value however not for me.

This set is pretty, very useful and looks very sharp, love having it
