Update: I lied, they do need honing for best use but still cut pretty well outta the box. If your a woodworker you'll be sharpening tools for the rest of your life so sharpening a new set shouldn't be an issue :)

After achieving the proper set-up, I found that they hold a sharp edge for quite a while. I'm no metallurgist, but I understand that they will hold an edge even longer after a few sharpenings. Something to do with the hardening process during manufacture.
The thickness of the steel is a little more than what you might find with "premium" chisels, but that didn't affect the performance in a negative way. They are well suited to cleaning up dovetails and for cutting mortises and shaving tenons and dados. The handles are a good size and shape and are comfortable. I applied a little BLO to mine, just for a little protection. There is a wood nub at the top of the handle, so if you like to use the "palm hammering" method, you might leave a welt on your hand. I like to use a soft-face hammer (don't use a metal hammer!).
You can pay (a lot) more for the "premium" chisels, but, in my opinion, you don't need to. With proper set-up and care, these should last a lifetime.

Nice tools and sharp tools make the work much more enjoyable
Also unfortunately the wood case was damaged in transit and was unsalvageable. Luckily for me I never planned to keep them in the case so that was not to big of a deal.
