Hi Coolina, my name is James Jonathan Eng. I purchased these 4 knifes as a Christmas gift for myself. So they are already wrapped up and under the tree. I haven't tried them as of yet, but I will after Christmas. I also bought a 8 Oz. Bottle of your Knife Oil. In time, I'm thinking about adding a couple of other knives, but until these are totally paid off. Maybe in February, for my Birthday. Thank You, James J. Eng
