There is no Bread Knife. Otherwise all the knives you will ever need are there. They are wonderful knives and I would recommend them to anyone. They are well made and do the job!

I do not have my knives here with me to describe to you. They are at my summer home however, I've asked one of my children to give me a set for Christmas for the home I am in now. I LOVE THEM. My only complaint is the sissors that came with them. I had rather have had another knife. I am a senior citizen and this is the best set of knieves I've ever owned. My son that is a Chef told me about them.

The best answer I can give is to go to the Ginsu site, and I believe they describe the different uses for each of the knives. Basically, in my unprofessional opinion, the selection is: 4 steak/dinner sharp, very useable knives, one great smallish serrated knife which I use for everything, one paring knife, one med side all-purpose knife, and one large meat knife and one large vegetable chopping knife.

It is a great knife with so much functionality. I don't miss the toothpick & tweezers. They are not very durable, while the light & pen are more than worth the swap. Be sure to use the orange peeler as shown in the video. A great tool by itself.

no but it open easier than some assisted opening knives I own such as my kershaw cryo. I find most knives that I own open much faster than assisted opening knves and its one less thing that can break.

Husker, I don't recall, but my review was that these knives suck. I gave them as a gift, and I was told that they aren't sharp at all--they were terrible. I wouldn't get them, even if the block was made of gold.

This knife is spring assisted. With the spring force and thumb force it opens in less than a quarter second, which has always been fast enough for me and fast enough to surprise anyone who asked to use a knife.

Anything you can use a small knife for fishing camping since it is carbon steel you can use it to start a fire with flint or fire steel I wanted it to butcher chickens and rabbits with but was sent the wrong one and never reordered

Those knives work as well as the serated ones, on all types of products. Highly recommend it. Cheers.

The knife has a thin blade and thus has a little give to it. However, the thin blade makes dicing small items like shallots and garlic a breeze. If you are cutting up a potato, for instance, the blade will give a little and not make the perfect cut. This is my go to knife for the small stuff. It stays sharp with a little care.

Asian knives and Henckles, Wustof ie western variety have different edges, relating to the angles. Do a google search to get the precise info, but in any case if you have the "western" knives, get the non-Asian sharpener. BTW, I love the Chef's Choice. It is elegant in its simplicity and efficiency and does a great job of sharpening.

You need to decide what conditions you will be using it in and what you will be most likely using the blade for, then find the best fit.

I don't know what Shun knives are but there are magnets that position the blade at the correct angle on both sides of the cutting edge. It has worked very well for me. Most of my knives are Henckels. My cleaver is too thick and heavy for an electric sharpener so I use a stone on it.

I have purchased several models of these knives. In looking the knives over closely, it appears that the knife originates as a Damascus Bar Stock and the blade is formed via a stock removal process. There is enough variation between blades of the same model to suggest that in the stock removal process, each blade is shaped and finished individually.

There are fixed slots used to guide the knife. It is nice to have the loaf traight and uniform slives. You could use a shim to hold the loaf away from the end but not worth the effort.

Hi Karen, You'll like this set. The knife is serrated and cuts very nicely and has a solid handle. Enjoy, Doug
