    Sanelli professional friend user to tutor at ati catering school. Student proof, dishwasher safe and keep a bloody good edge. Had ours 20 years now, blades a little skinnier now though.

    Ruins the edge. And for carbon steel blades it can do some damage.

    I've used them in every kitchen i've ever worked in and i'll swear by them till the day i die. They hold an edge like nobodies business and they're durable.

    With you on that. Still have my set from the catering days. Bloody awesome.

    Global are neat also-dislike the heels though. Always caught my finger for some reason.
