My wife bought these for me on Father's Day. So I have had them about a month and have used them consistently four or more times a week plus my daughters, so knives get used in my house alot! I must say the edge of as stayed true still sharp, I haven't had to use the sharpener yet, tomatoes still slice deli thin. The handles are extremely comfortable and the sandblasted grip works even when there is soapy water on it.Plain and simple a great buy!
