Fancy $80 boning knife set turned out to be total junk

I dropped 80 bucks on a set of those Japanese-style boning knives from some online ad last month. The first one chipped on the second deer I broke down, right through the spine joint like it was nothing. The steel felt hard but it was brittle, snapped a tip off trying to work around a hip bone. Don't get me wrong, I like a thin blade for silverskin, but these were way too delicate for any real work. Anyone else get burned by a flashy knife set that looked good on paper?

Ngl those flashy sets are designed for fish, not deer.
