Pros: Versitile, easy to use with small hands, lid twister gripper in shear handle. Excelent value

Cons: none....not free

Other Thoughts: Just buy it....You looked at it...you know what it does.....BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Newegg is the best !! Even better since listing more items !!!

Pros: Great quality for the price. Very sharp and durable, and the balance feels really good. They still work great after a year, and I haven't even had them professionally sharpened.

Cons: These are only cons if you want to be lazy and don't feel like caring for your knives: must be sharpened frequently and cannot be put in the dishwasher.

The shears did break after a year, but I used them for something they weren't meant for. If you want to hack up a chicken, get a big, heavy cleaver.

Other Thoughts: I bought these knives after reading about them in Consumer Reports. They are by far the best set of knives you can get for the price, so long as you are willing to maintain them properly. They are forged from single solid pieces of steel, meaning that the handle will never loosen or break off - this is a feature you won't find with any other knife set for less than $150. They are very sharp but require sharpening more often and more prone to rusting if you don't care for them right - they can NEVER be put in the dishwasher (which is good practice for pretty much any set of good knives, even if the manufacturer says otherwise) and they should be washed and dried right after you use them every time.
