Needed more dinner knives, didn't want or need a complete set of flatware, just more knives. Overstock was the only place I found I could buy just knives. Nice, heavy weight, look and feel like an expensive set. I like them better than the ones I had! I put in a 5 star rating for durability, but honestly I've only had them a few weeks, but with Oneida, I feel they will most likely prove durable. LOVE them!
