All three handles are comfortable as well.
I have read criticism about the case. Sure it is a little thin, but if one knows how to care for it it will last. Besides, I bought the kit for the blades, not the box it came in.
The blades are of good quality, razor sharp, and of sufficient thickness not to bend or break under pressure.
You don't actually get 13 different blades. While there are 13 blades overall, there are a few copies. There are three #11 blades, one on the smallest aluminum handle, and two copies. There are two #2 blades, one on the large aluminum handle, and one copy. Still, with 10 different blades, you have all you need for basic carving and cutting.
The handles hold the blades very securely, and blades are easily swapped in and out. The knurling (rough diamond cut) on the ends of the handles is deep enough to really provide a good grip so your fingers won't slip on to the blade. Unfortunately, the knurling in the middle of the two all-aluminum handles is rather shallow, and does not provide as secure a grip. This isn't too much of a problem for me, as I tend to grip the knives close to the blade to provide for better control during cutting.
The large red handle is hollow (unlike the solid handle X-Acto used to use, years ago), making a little lighter than I would like, but the aluminum post is seated very securely in the plastic handle, after some heavy use, I see no signs of the handle breaking or becoming loose. If you're looking for a sturdier handle for heavy cutting you could move up to the Craftsman Set .The large handle in that set is solid aluminum.
You can use either Excel or X-Acto blades in the handles.
The box is not actually particle board. It is balsa wood (light and soft) with a cheap wood veneer glued to the top and bottom. A pretty sloppy glue job, as there are globs of dried glue on both the top and bottom veneer. The hinges and latch are attached by small screws. The latch holds firmly in place, but the hinges were loose when the set arrived, but I tightened them up with a small screwdriver. Just be careful if you do this, as again, the wood is very soft. While not attractive, the box serves its purpose.
The blades and handles are held in place by plastic inserts. They seem to do the job well enough as a tray for the tools, however only the two all-aluminum handles are actually held in place, the large red handle is merely resting in it's compartment, and if the box is tipped or dropped, it will fly right out.
The blades are held in place by a magnetic strip. It holds them fairly securely. Slamming the top of the box closed, I found that only the largest #18 chiseling blade popped off of the strip. Oddly enough, if you look at the picture, it looks as though a concave blade was supposed to come with the set, but a #11 is in there instead (third blade from the right). This is because this box is actually designed for their " Professional Set,Boxed " of knives. This may be why the red handle is not held in place as well.
For the price, this is a pretty good deal. Excellent blades, good handles, and an ugly, but functional box.
Pros:
-MADE IN THE USA (unlike some competitors)
-good value
-handles are well made and hold the blade well
Cons:
-plastic inserts are cheap
-product was a little dirty out of the box (undamaged though)
Worth it if you are looking for a good valued, american-made set of knives.
