Go out and get yourself a decent 'honing steel' for about $25-30 as well. These will be pretty woeful but for the price… you could not ask for a better practice set! Get into it, get into cooking and you and your wallet will thank yourself! Definitely a plus from me! I've seen PLENTY worse for alot more! A great deal!
I guess I should elaborate
The honing steel will last for this set and well into the next couple of sets you buy (if not longer)! The honing steel is a metal rod that you use to 're-align' blades on a knife. Knives generally do not get dull, the blades actually bend ever so slightly. Once you learn how to use a honing steel properly (this only comes with practice) you will be able to re-align blades and get a great cut again. You don't want to ever learn how to do this on a $300+ knife set! Not to mention that if you learn on a rubbish set, you will be doing it enough that when you are ready to upgrade, you'll be a pro at it!
Honing makes a knife cut alot better, sharpening is generally not what you want
