Quality


Well made, looks like it will last a life time.


Well made, used it on a pistol case to cut out the foam.


The glue came off the strip and the set become unattached and blades went everywhere.


I always lose it because it's just a #11 knife and it looks like every other pen and it doesn't have a home.

Price


Don't waste your time or $$$ with knock-offs!


Consider the price, and what you get for it, and just be grateful!


I almost bought this at a brick and mortar store, but it was about 1/3 of the price on amazon.

Shipping


However the delivery person left my package on the steps out in the open for anyone to see never knocking on the door.

Packaging/appearance


They’re beautiful and i’m in love with the little box!


I was so happy to find this set in a wooden box, like the original box i inherited from a family member.


Others complained that the box was made of mdf with only a thin layer of wood on the outside.
