These knives appear well made. My wife, for whom I bought these knives, is quite happy with them (and she’s usually not interested in knives except for her chef knives :-). Most of all, we are impressed with how comfortable the handles are to hold, which has a lot to do with the workmanship, obviously: the seams where the full tang joins the G10 slab are very smooth and and all the pieces are flush with each other. The only nitpick I have is that the tips of most of the knives in the set I got are slightly bent, but that doesn’t seem to affect functionality at all. Kudos to Kizer for having given some thought to good ergonomics and craftsmanship in these moderately priced knives.
