Comment:
I have 4 Star knives, primarily bought in the 1980s. They are both in my home and in a shared vacation condo. They are duable and comfortable to use. I have found they keep an edge well and are easily dressed with a good quality steel. A couple of my favorites are the boning knife and 10 chef. I never put any kitchen knives in a dishwsher. After 30 years I would say I have no complaints about these knives other than they were a bit expensive, especially since I bought some individually. I can say they have given me my moneys worth regardless of cost. I also have a set of Cutco kitchen knives at home, some of which I like as well and thus also use daily. They are a bit harder to keep sharp.

Comment:
I received these knives as a service award. Best gift ever! I use them primarily for chopping meat and veggies, paring, cutting herbs. They do the job in less time and effort than any other knives I've owned. You do have to be careful. It's easy to cut yourself if you get the blades to close to a finger. They come with a sharpener. I recommend you use it regularly to maintain high performance.

Comment:
I've had this set for many years. The handles are comfortably shaped and are one piece, so no worries about water infiltration around rivets. The chef's knife is heavy enough to aid with chopping but light enough not to become painful with extended use. If washed in a dishwasher, be careful to anchor the knives securely -- one of mine slipped down onto the drying element and the handle melted!
