Fine Cutlery
Having never owned anything but knives from the Big-Box stores I had no concept of "Fine Cutlery". The box came several days earlier than I expected and I experienced the irony of opening my new knives with my old knife. Actually sent a picture of it to my friend.
Each of the knives (I ordered 4) were secured and nestled on their own cardboard sheath. I wish I could share the almost electric sensation when I slid the French Chef knife out of it's sheath and heard that almost musical "ting". I have had them three weeks or so, use them several times a day and still thrill at that "ting" when I remove the sheath. Yes, I keep them in their sheaths after drying them as I hope to pass them on to my great granddaughter.
In addition to the obvious benefit to my household, I was given the opportunity to help raising funds for my young friends cheerleader squad. Thank you so much for a wonderful product...or four.

Good Knives made in the USA and great fundraiser for our Church.
The knives are good. I like the sharpener as well. I have enjoyed them and would buy again.

This is a great knife. I am very happy with it. I have a drawer full of Rada knives. I don't buty anything else.
It did exactly what I wanted. Very sharp and easy to use. Love the fact that it came with a cover.
