Perhaps not worth it.
Neither of these 2 knives are sharp and they were expensive

Zwilling Kanten Knives
This and the other two Kanren knives we purchased are beautiful to look at and a joy to use--well balanced, fit comfortably in hand, and cut thinly and easily.

Impressive knives that deliver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased several Kanren knives and have been very impressed with them. The cut is smooth and effortless, and the feel of each knife in my hand is exactly right - heavy enough to give better stability, but not so much as to hinder control. They are also visually impressive - a showpiece on the counter.
