Good if you know how to use it
i got these knives for christmas, and they are great knives, sharp, balanced. but ive practiced for hours and hours and its very hard to get them to stick in the wood. ive gotten cut 5 times already, and 2 of those times was when it bounced off the wood board and came back and hit me. so bottom line, great knives if you know what you're doing, otherwise they suck. pretty dangerous if you aren't careful. which i wasn't.
