Is there a "Made in the USA" on the box?
They are not considered special, they were sold for a cheap price, but if you consider yourself new to knives they can have a really useful role to play. They are made of a kind of steel that's easy to sharpen, and they're fairly simple shapes. I suggest if you're not yet very good at sharpening knives, you take this set as your "surprise sharpening gift", get a couple of stones, and end up with the sharpest set of inexpensive knives in town. All of the skill carries over to fancy knives, if you want fancy knives.
Have you got a sharpening stone now? Or a gadget? Or nothing? (Many people have nothing to sharpen knives with.)I've always just used cheap knife sets before. What would you suggest i use to sharpen these?

He's clearly still pissed off because he wasn't allowed to skip the line for the Dalman honyakis...That's a nice way to describe someone's heritage...
The OP's set look similar, but not Old Hickory and not made in USA.We got a set of those for a wedding present in the 90's. They are fun to sharpen. The handles say Old Hickory, the blades are stamped with made in USA 'Tru-edge, Ontario knife company'
You wrote "We got a set of those...", which to me seemed to imply you believed the OP's knives and your knives were all the same. Sorry about that.Wait, so...not the same?! I'm shocked!

Seriously though, it gets me wondering about the whole manufacturing process. Are there two sets of tooling out there? How did the 'knock offs' get a hold of said tooling? Is it the same tooling/same factory?
