Anyone Tried Using 阳江十八子作 Knives?

[josephsbs 1]

I'm shopping around for some knives for my new kitchen and my friends introduced to me some brands, including this seems to be very renown brand called 阳江十八子作. Suggested idea is to pay <$100 (including shipping) to get a high end China brand instead of a low end European/US brand.

One thing about western sets is they seldom come with a cleaver (aka chopper), something I need

Went to Taobao.com and saw a few interesting sets but wondered if anyone here has used them before and could provide some useful feedback on their quality. e.g.

any reviews/feedback?

if you got a slightly higher budget, you might want to try WMF or Henckels knives on Amazon.com....

I got a 7 pcs Henckels knives set (Made in Germany), for approx S$200.00 includes shipping. In Singapore here, selling at least S$600.00 for the same set.
