Pros & Cons
Pros
These are very sharp right out of the box, lightweight, and well made. We have prime filets which had been in the sous vide for 2 hours (so tender as it was) and it was amazing how these sliced through them.
Always wash these knives by hand, never in the dishwasher. Both knives and sharpener are number one rated by cook's country. Have used victorinox knifes for cooking and camping.
Purchased these with some reservations, due to the comments about the handles smelling. Was able to wash and air out outdoors and the smell was largely gone. The only negative is, they come in a * cardboard box, that’s pretty useless for storage.

Cons

Shipping
I don’t have a block so i would have liked a nice cardboard box to keep them in and shipped in.
Packaging/appearance
These knives were well packaged and have a very sharp edge.
Admittedly, when submitted to a sniff test immediately upon opening the box, there was a barely detectable odor on the wood, wh... Read More

Competitiveness
I bought them because i already have 4 or 5 other victorinox kitchen knives: you really can't go wrong with this brand.
I recently decided to give up my matchy-matchy knife block and get a few pieces that were great in function regardless of brand.
