F. Dick-Johnson and Wales Knife Case Set

I bought this Johnson and Wales 'Light series' knife kit on eBay back in July this year, costs a fair $207 including shipping. It was sold without the 8" Chef's knife. Most of the knives are from the stamped Superior series made by F. Dick and specially marked for the Johnson & Wales University (J&W) and some other stuff that's I think is not really part of the original set, personally don't care about J&W but I do like the F. Dick because of the stamped blade without the bolster return and the riveted handles. The case is really quite gimmicky and horrible waste of space especially compared to for example a simple Victorinox case, I could use the case a really bulky knife block... The kit includes:

• 10" Superior Chef's knife

• 12"regular cut steel (Regular cut by F Dick standards, fine by say Mundial standards)

• 10" Superior Serrated Slicer

• 9" Palette knife

• 8" Superior Slicer

• Boning knife

• 7" Carving fork

• 3" Superior Paring knife

• 2.5" Superior Bird's Beak

• Zester

• Channeller

• Fixed peeler

• Melon Baller

Out of the whole set, I've used the serrated slicer and chef's knife the most, as well as other nice items like the boning knife and bird's beak. Nice set, probably not worth the retail price especially

Standard box of tools at a discounted price of $199; retail prices for the Cook's Knife $60, Filleting Knife $40, Boning Knife $30, Steel $40, Tool Box $30, etc... so price is worth it and easier for me to not have to look for little bitty detail items like the correct cookie cutter set.
