Yep.

They take a hellishly sharp edge. The steel is very hard and
needs to be kept sharp. If you let it get dull, it's a
serious/tedious bit of work to get it back up to snuff.

Lightweight in the hand. Good angle for me. I like mine. Got
it decades ago and it's still doing fine. Used them a lot
when I had the restaurants and they were wonderful.

Just had a look at the brochure and I'm attracted by the 'Original'
series because handles are angled up from the blade. Has anyone had
any experience of these knives?

Yes and though I don't have any now I have. Very good knives for the price.

I got a set of 3 about 5 years ago. It keeps a razor sharp edge and I
like the feel of them. I have several other sets but these are my
favorites.

I've had a set for over 30 years. They still work fine, though I have
sharpened them a few times. We use one or the other of them almost daily.

Another poster mentioned how hard the steel is -- I agree. Do not use a
regular steel with these knives, they'll take the grooves off it. When I
got the knives, a ceramic rod was part of the set, and I still use it
for them.

I have some of the "Original" series. Mine are 38 years old, still
functioning well and holding a great edge.
