Demystifying blade / knife handle compatibility:
Generally speaking, light duty blades (those with 1/4" shanks) should be paired with light duty knife handles; medium duty blades (the majority of those with 3/8" shanks) should be paired with medium duty handles, and the larger blades (such as #26 whittling blades, pull/razor saws, and certain other specialty use items, most of which also have 3/8" shanks) should be used with heavy duty knife handles.  The blade shank is the squared off part of the blade that slots into the knife handle.  It's physically possible to fit 1/4" shank into 3/8" knife handle collets, but it's not recommended.  Because 1/4" shanks are shorter than 3/8" shanks, the cutting edge of light duty blades may feel unnaturally close to the thicker collet of a medium duty handle.  And it's not possible at all to fit a 3/8" shank into a 1/4" handle.
Demystifying blade quality:
Substantially all branded blades utilize either T10 or SK5 grades of steel.  Blade quality, particularly those included in inexpensive knife sets, is NOT a given.  If blade quality (which primarily is suggestive of how long a blade can be expected to keep its edge, and thus how often you'll need to replace them) factors into your buying decision, you may wish to investigate the type of steel used before making your blade purchase.  In addition, the quality of the blade manufacturing process also varies from factory to factory.  Unfortunately there's no easy industry-standard method of quantifying and presenting such manufacturing process quality differences, so in this respect, it's "buyer beware".  Our blades use T10 steel, are manufactured in the same factories and on the same production lines as many branded blades sold nationally, and in fact, are generally identical in every respect other than packaging to much of the branded product widely sold through bricks-and-mortar hobby stores.
