Beautiful knife set!

I am returning this. You expect nothing but perfection when you spend almost $200 on a knife set. As you can see in the picture, the emblem has an imperfection, and it is missing a breadknife for the price. I wrote Calphalon, and they said the breadknife is discontinued!? I used to like this brand, but even my expensive Calphalon cookware is all chipped and scratched (Teflon coating).

These were bought as a gift and the person is very happy with the knives. However, I was informed later that one seemed to be missing. I havent tried for a replacement because it was already given as a gift and the recipient said it was ok. Upon getting this notice for review I may try to just get the missing knife. I'll update on customer service if I don't have any luck. Otherwise I would buy again.

I used to have Calphalon pans and enjoyed them so I was comfortable buying this set of knives with the self sharpening slots. I would have preferred a different color of block but hard to get a clear idea of what they will actually look like. It will work. I like the knives are marked on the ends so there is no confusion which goes where. This block does not take up a lot of counter space. For the two of us the set is ideal.
