Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro S Stainless-Steel 8-Piece Knife Set with BlockSep 20, 2011
By Charles
"Snakebit"
These knives are lighter than I expected, not so they feel cheap but nearly as light as a ceramic of the same size. Terribly sharp, the steel does a great job on knives of lesser quality, I have not yet had to sharpen any of the Zwilling knives. The paring knife snapped off perpendicular to the edge while cutting a small block of Jarlsberg. I have returned the knife to the manufacturer for replacement. Will let you know how that goes. These are lovely knives, so far I am pleased...if my paring knife gets replaced.
Paring knife replaced no questions asked, bumped the review up a star on the incredible usefulness of the sharpening steel. It works with all knives and results in a edge that is just a bit "scary sharp" never seen anything like it before.
great knife set,great priceMar 04, 2012

after seeing the 7 piece set listed in consumer reports as their number one choice overall, I started to explore the market, online, at ebay, and then at amazon. I placed this set in my "basket" when they were $299, and this is an 8 piece set, with the extra santoku knife not listed in the 7 piece set that consumer reports listed. Well, checking back every day or two, I noticed that the set had suddenly dropped to $165. It doesn't take one long, when you have checked around, to recognize a good deal when you see it. I jumped on it. It took them 4 days before they shipped it, was worried that they were having second thoughts about the price, especially since the day after I ordered it, they raised the price back up to $299. But then, they arrived. I don't use or need the block, as I prefer the magnetic knife strip, by MIU, which I also got here on amazon. It holds them off the counter, so taking no counter space, and is much more sanitary than what could accumulate in the knife slots on the block. These knives are beautiful, VERY sharp, well balanced, and its nice considering that I no longer need to think about knives from now on. Go for the quality, as it is cheaper in the long run than cheap knives (or anything), and when you see a good sale, jump before they change their mind!
 Be careful with these things!Jan 14, 2012

They are sharp. I mean wicked sharp. And they have totally kept their edge for a few months now. They cut with incredible ease and they feel good in the hand with a nice balance. The range of knives is good, except that there is no bread knife. I ended up buying the matching bread knife separately (Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 8-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Bread Knife). I love the Santoku blade. The wood block has several empty slots, which looks a little odd. I'm not too fond of the funny-little-guys logo on the front. It would be better if the front of the block were plainer.
I rate this four stars instead of five mainly due to the relatively high price (even at Amazon's more than 50% discount over retail), and having to spend even more for a bread knife. But I am definitely happy with my purchase. I will be using these knives a long time, so sometimes it's worth unloading a little cash for great tools.

I purchased this item because it was highly rated by consumer reports. I have been very pleased with it since it arrived.

Best Knife Set. PERIOD.Mar 11, 2011
By John Hash
After much research, and trying several imitations, I have finally found what a REAL set of knives is supposed to be like. No more struggling to cut or disappointing products. This is by far the best knife set on the market without spending over a thousand bucks. Worth much more then it costs. You won't regret forking out the money for these. They're sharp...and they stay sharp. Not too difficult to sharpen either, but you won't need to very often. Perfectly balanced. Much better then the twin 4 star II. Follow the care instructions, and you have a lifetime investment. (Ps. Stay away from glass cutting boards. They ruin your blades with any set of knives. Go with bamboo.)
