Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:
The blades are very sharp out of the package and don't need any sharpening before use. The blade storage is magnetic so there is no issue with cutting yourself when removing blades.
Cons:
Some of the blades had some surface rust on them, I was able to remove most of it though. The initial appearance of the handles and blades was not that impressive since they were grimy and had lots of fingerprints. The plastic box came with a damaged hinge so it will not close. The clasp also seems to be malformed so I don't think it would have worked anyway.
Bottomline:
When cleaned the blades and handles work quite well however the storage case build quality is low so don't expect it to last for years.
Poor box quality
