McCook Stainless Steel Knife Set

“This is the first complete knife set I have ever owned, and it is perfect. I had bits and pieces of one, but this is smaller, and the knives fit my hands very nicely. I have arthritis in my hands, and these will be so helpful in my cooking,” an Amazon reviewer wrote.
