Sounds like a bargain. The large knives are over £100 each.

Looking at your post forged German/Japanese indicates that you are already well on to the right track...
Point taken!

Thanks. Glad I'm not the only one with a collection of useless knives - I must take them to the charity shop along with all the equally useless bits and pieces that came with the dinner set. Someone may be able to use teeny-weeny coffee cups with saucers and 8 egg cups, but that someone's not me.

Sparkleydiva, did you not have any problems carrying them in your suitcase?
Definitely quality if you've had them that long and they're still good
