Henckels
December 7, 2011This is the workhorse for your kitchen! Sharp, well balanced and excellent grip! I'd love to have the 12 inch version of this knife but they don't make it!. I have had many types of knives in my past but none this heavy, sharp and useful. The handle is both ergonically useful and very beautiful (a nice combination). This is impressive to the look and touch. This is staying sharp through many tough jobs. This is a great knife! Very well made and does the job! I had the Wusthoff top of their line chef's knife and exchanged it for this one. This knife to me was sharper and better balanced. And this style handle fits my hand well. If you have a larger hand you may find this grip more comfortable. Although I do own a few hand forged Wusthoff knives, in my opinion henckels makes a better knife. I received this knife block as a wedding gift and the knives are absolutely fantastic. They cut everything like it's butter – with very little force required. I've never owned a high end set of knives but they make a huge difference. You will really notice if you are switching up from a much cheaper set of knives. I love that the block has extra slots so that you can expand the set if you desire. I do wish that the block would fit the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 2-Piece Carving Set, but it's not that big a deal since we don't use the carving knives all that often. Another thing that is great about this set is that it comes with 8 steak knives. The previous set I owned has only 4 steak knives which are not enough if you are serving a large crowd. Overall I would highly recommend this set, especially if you're upgrading from a much cheaper set and/or do a lot of cooking. This set might be overkill for someone who doesn't enjoy, or doesn't do a lot of cooking. I have been fed up with dull and low quality knives for years. My girlfriend and I cook at least 5 nights a week. My father has this knife set and I have wanted them for years. I finally treated myself to this set. J.A. Henkles will be the best knife you ever own. They hold an ede quite well but the major plus is that they sharpen easy. Stop messing with low quality knives and buy a set that is worth having and that will last a lifetime. This is an outstanding set of knives, especially for the price. Amazon shipping packaging was great, appropriate size and protection for the heavy block and 17 pieces of German steel that came in the box from J.A. Henckels. The passion for modernism that seizes many young designers and won I was in need of a new set of flatware since I only had 7 out of twelve forks left in my set. Where do those things go?. After a little research I discovered that 18/10 stainless is the best and that it is getting more and more difficult to find. You have to watch for 18/0. If you aren My husband and I bought these knives to upgrade the Henckels set that we received as a wedding gift 7 years ago. The Henckels Twin Pro-S knives are great! Well made, very sharp, the handle has just the right weight for excellent control while cutting. The block comes with extra spaces so you can buy other knives of the same series to complete your set. We will add a 7 inch fillet knife and a butcher knife. Highly recommend these knives. I have been fed up with dull and low quality knives for years. My girlfriend and I cook at least 5 nights a week.
