Dear Richard
I did get the set almost two weeks ago. I've been swamped at work and with our internet down a lot I'm now getting caught up. The knives are very nice both in looks and in use. The knives are lighter than what we have in our Mess Hall and some thought that may affect long term use. If it did it seems to have helped.
My boss said it may add to hand and arm fatuge by having to push the knife through when chopping food because it was too lightweight. But if anything it's easier due to the weight (it's not lightweight but lighter than what we have) the sharpness and the polished blade makes it easy to use. The handles are of a material that is both durable and have a positive nonslip grip. The blades on the larger chef's knives are stiff and on the somewhat thinner and narrower blades have a more flexable blade as it should be.
I don't leave them at work to take good care of them but if I have business elsewhere before work I'm asked to go get them. I did miss the pig roast to use them, the pig day was moved up before the knives got here. Oh well, these are popular knives here and I thank you very much for them. I'm trying to transfer to a special forces Mess hall here at [redacted] if so these knives are going with me! Although thay need cooks in a bad way I doubt [redacted] will let me go. Bummer for me. Well I need to go for now but I will send photos and and keep in touch. Thanks for the great set of knives.
