I have no idea - they are excellent for the purpose I purchased them/cooking!

I agree with the other person that answered your question. This is a very nice set of knifes.

this knife is more of a survival knife it is extremely durable and well built, if you want a combat knife look at the LMF II by Gerber. This knife is definitely not for daily carry it is to bulky therefor it cant really be used for defense. If you are looking for a tactical fixed blade knife go with a cold steel kobun. I love that blade it is extremely sharp, way sharper than the gerber when it arrives. hope my response can aid you in the search for a fixed blade knife

The Fein Blades are very good, if you have a Fein tool they will lock in 100% secure. You should email me, I have info on rebates and discount codes you can use to get these and other fein blades at a discount, my address is smcjoecohen@yahoo.com.

Don't know. I found the knives to be lightweight and too flexible. I know these are rated well but they didn't match my expectations or raters comments. I gave them to my daughter and fell back on my Chicago steak knives.

Yes... If I made my living as a chef I would want only forged knives for there durability and strength.But as a home cook I want the best knives I could afford and for me these are the ones.As long as you don't put them in a dish washer and wash and dry them by hand one at a time they will last a life time.These things are so incredibly sharp and beautiful I don't just let anybody touch , use or even wash them.If you love to cook buy them.

Yeah they're okay if your five or seven there are better choices out there. This knife might last a weekend battle but if you want one for the long run get a cold steel trainer or any training knife for that matter.

flicks base should read flicks blade. Re self defense, the manufacturer goes to some length to say knife is for slicing, not stabbing. Suspect it'd do one as well as the other.

I'd say so. For the price and quality of the blades, definitely good for practice and learning.

It certainly will be good for self defense just not very practical. Furthermore, depending on the state you live in, it may not be legal to carry on a regular basis. Check your state penal code on that. Notwithstanding, it is a good knife and keep in mind that it was designed for underwater use against large animals in their element, I think it would hold up fine against an assailant.

They have a decent sharpened edge to them. No serrations, don't expect them to do well with a tough steak, but don't give them to a small child either. They could easily cut skin. I'd imagine if you needed to, you could dull them or sharpen them more.

These knives are sharp and I've been using them on everything pretty much: meat, veggies, fruits, fish... I do not know if they are specific sushi-knives, but I am sure you can use them for sushi.

They are very good knives indeed. The only thing you need to know is they are a bit on the "light" side - slim handles on the steak knives, but they are great overall - very sharp - very durable.

They cut better than other knives. I use with a cutting board and they work fine.

I think they would be. They are good quality knives that seem to hold an edge fairly well. Plus, they have an appealing look.

Sorry for the delay, I have been on vacation. This knife is very sturdy but people who play paintball are used to being hit and usually wear some type of protective gear. These knives could hurt someone if enough force is applies and they would be very useful in hand-to-hand combat training. I would say it only depends on the force used.

NO, No, and no! They are cheap, poorly made and not as advertised. My wife bought these for my birthday, and as we have been married 48 years, I tried to use them, but they are nearly useless. Most of the knives have small teeth that tear meat and clog up. I have some utility knives that I bought years ago at Wal-Mart for around $6.00 each. They are FAR better knives than the Aero Knives. She actually bought these from Aero-Knife, not Amazon. When I called them and asked to send them back (Wife saved them when they were delivered to wait for my Birthday) they said I had had them over 30 days and there was no way they would accept a return for a refund.
