ZWILLING Professional S 2-Piece Razor-Sharp German Chef's Knife Set, Made in Company-Owned German Factory with Special Formula Steel perfected for almost 300 Years, Dishwasher Safe

I have always been a fan of these knives, and my purchase did not disappoint. The pairing knife cuts through anything like it's not even there and the 8" chef's knife does the same. They are amazing knifes that are incredibly well made and sharp. Good steel, well crafted, I couldn't wish for a better knife.

I am having a blast using my new knives to prepare meals. This was a fantastic deal (as in less than $100), and I finally own a small but very useful "set" of Henckels knives. My dad has been a long-time fan of the brand for decades, and I feel proud to continue in his footsteps.I was hesitant on if I should order the 6" or the 8" chef's knife, but when I saw this promotion for both knives at quite an amazing price, my decision was made on the 8" that is included in this package. I am very glad that I did! The 8" is large but it is a necessity for most kitchens because it can be used for slicing large pieces of meat, to vegetables, fruits, fresh herbs, as well as the versatility of being used for small jobs as well. The paring knife is terrific for what it obviously is for, but I use it sometimes to chop smaller things like green onions, cherry tomatoes, and other such vegetables. These knives are wonderfully sharp and allow you to prepare meals effortlessly. I'm a small-framed woman and I have absolutely no issues with the chef's knife; it feels very comfortable and natural.If you love to cook, I would definitely look into investing in at least one, quality knife. It's worth it. The deal for these two is nearly two for the price of one, so if you can snag it at a good time, go for it!

Great knife set. They work really well.

****UPDATE **** Prices fluctuate wildly depending on the seller, wait for it under one c-note like I did***Saw this set on sale for less than the price of solo twin 8" chef's knife. So I pulled the trigger.The chef knife is very nice. It balances very nicely at the first finger behind the guard because of the heft of the full tang. It takes a nice edge and cuts beautifully. The 4" is also a pleasure to use.We previously had the Henckel 8 inch chef knife made in Spain and it doesn't have that hefty tang it doesn't balance quite the same nice way in the hand. This one also keeps its edge much longer and is easy to get crazy sharp.Very nice knives for the price, don't hesitate great value set for a single Benjamin.

Works as advertised! Excellent item! Be careful of cheap imitations. Amazon is full of cheap crappy brands from China that they really try to shove at buyers, even as you are trying to check out with a more expensive quality item! We had to look and check 3 times to make sure we had the correct items in the cart.

Exceptional quality knives at a reasonable price. You're much better off buying this set than a similarly priced set with 10 or 12 knives in it -- the 10" chef's knife and the paring knife are the only ones you really need for 99.9% of all kitchen tasks, and you can buy a decent-looking set of steak knives to go with it for $25 and be done. These knives will last a long time with proper handling/sharpening. Well worth the price.

I set out to get a set of premium kitchen knives. After research, I determined that a Germans set of Henkel Professional S was a good option for me. When the knives arrived, they cut cleaner and better than any knife I’ve ever owned. But, I was disappointed to see mild edge damage to the paring knife with only about 6 weeks of use, leading to a very dull blade. The only use for these blades was kitchen; vegetables and such fir Neal prep. No bones or anything harsh. I was more than disappointed in this, I expected these knives to last a long time before requiring sharpening.Overall, I don’t think I’d recommend if you want a hard knife that will keep a sharp edge for a long time.

We originally owned a Chicago Cutlery knife set from Kohls which was better than anything we'd had before, but we had them for 10 years and the edge was starting to wear off of many of them. It was time to replace them with something, maybe even something better. Starting with these two commonly used knives seemed like the best idea.Wow! Such amazing balance compared to the knives we owned before. The weight is totally in the handle, there is plenty of room to grip, and the knives themselves are so much thinner and lighter and... sharper! On close inspection, you can see a very small black lettered stamp on them that says they are ice hardened and you can see a metallic black vertical grain in the metal.I've only been using these a month and have had no issues, hope they last for years to come. Can't wait to start adding more knives to the set.
