Certainly not one with 15 knives for $29.99 You will end up with 15
knives, none of which are worth owning. There are a number of good
brands of knives out there. There are fairly expensive. Sometimes you
can get a good deal on them when you buy a set, but you may be better
off just picking them up one or two at a time. If you take care of them
they will last a lifetime.
