Review on Samura Harakiri SHR-0250 set, 5 knives by Edyta Waldzik ᠌

The knives are thin, as stated in any assessment of knives, but not as negatively as some of the comments suggest. Although the metal is somewhat fragile, both the santoku and the chef knife in this set can easily cut through the cartilage and fish bones they were designed to cut. In order to prevent rust, the metal has a very particular requirement: it must be maintained dry. A+ right out of the box performance. You can't buy without a discount, as comparable German knives cost much less, but even at a 50% discount, you're still unlikely to lose money here, despite the availability of less pretentious China alternatives.
