This is a Chinese made set. Dont expect it to stay as sharp as long as the US made knives. Make sure whoever you're buying this for wants it. I have 3 walmart christmas sets in one of my dresser drawers that ive been given over the years. I inherited all of my dads old buck knives that should last my lifetime. Not sure why people think I need more knives. lol

"Free Shipping at $49+"

The OP did. If you want specific info for what it will cost to ship to your location, try adding it to the cart and finding out. Bonus, you will find out if there is tax in your state.

EDIT: Shipping to me in Eastern Washington is $8 and tax is another $1.66. Sadly, just about every online retailer collects tax, and MidwayUSA isn't know for their cheap shipping.

Unrelated, but: any tips for someone trying to get better at actual sharpening? I have stones of the necessary grit, have practiced on some lower quality knives with different edge angles (not sure if that's the correct terminology), and have watched multiple tutorials.

Still, can't get them to their original sharpness. I consider myself reasonably handy but can't really figure out a way to get this right.

Do you strop after hitting the stones? That final honing might be what you're missing.

take a piece of wood and glue two pieces of scrap leather to either side, one with the rough face out and the other with the smooth face out. grab yourself some green honing compound, rub on both sides, and that leather after every sharpening session AND before/after use and it'll help keep that edge keen for you.

It really depends on the quality of the metal. A lot of cheap knives are not going to get as sharp as the original edge unless you go to a machine shop that has a laser-based sharpener. And you'll loose that "razor edge" sharpness within the first few times of use.

Personally I use an old Craftsman wet stone that I bought about 20 years ago. This thing has been great for sharpening knives, including cheap ones. Some knives you might need to finish off with a different grit stone.

Had some fun watching this vid, it led me down a rabbit hole and for that I thank you. Liked this one in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2vdhy_h4Gc

Still interested in suggestions.. unfortunately looks like this Craftsman wet stone is hard to find outside of ebay or estate sales
