My dad bought a set of these on a pity sale from a friend around the same time. Christ, they're awful. They were dull as fuck, so I bought them a Lanski sharpener thinking it was the only way they'd get fixed. Even sharpened them for him.

The Lansky sat in a drawer for years and collected dust. He said, "they have a lifetime sharpening service for free." Which he never used, of course.
