Pro 2-pc Chef's Set

I am a japanese knife collector but had to get these Zwilling Henkel Pros after I tried one at my sister-in-law's home. The stainless steel blades are beautiful and sharp and the handles have the best hand feel of any knife I've used. The choil is beautifully tooled and set at a 45 degree angle, allowing for an excellent and comfortable pinch grip. I still love my japanese knives, but I Iove these pros equally well.

Love them! It’s hard to shop for knives online but I am very pleased. After doing some research I settled on this brand and type. If you want the best knives for your kitchen you’re looking in the right place, if you need something that will do the job but don’t necessarily need the highest quality there are certainly other brands or types that are less expensive (check out JA Henckels international). The price here is great, Macy’s had competitve sales prices but this price was better. They fit in my hand great, the weight is nice, a very quality knife. They are bigger than expected which is why I included a picture with measurements for comparison. Overall I give this 5 stars, I wish they would have came with a blade gaurd for travel but that is my only complaint.

These knives are awesome. The larger knife for cutting vegetables and shopping is great. The quality is great easy to put an edge back on.

These are well balanced ,well designed high quality steel. They make kitchen prep so much easier. As in most quality steel it is NOT recommended that you clean them in your dishwasher. But that’s true of any quality steel. I would suggest a magnetic knife bar.

The knife are not sharp at all, especially the smaller paring knife. When cutting a tomato I have to poke a hole in it to get knife to start cutting! Spent a lot of money to end up with dull knives that have not taken too sharpening. Also, the larger knife is ergonomically uncomfortable to use. Made for large hands.

It's a Henckel! what more can I add. Well balanced razor sharp and feels good in the hand.

I started off building a nice set of knives with these two. Will do almost anything reasonably well. They need a few strokes on a honing steel after heavy use, but they stay amazingly sharp. I wouldn't hesitate to start with these, especially if you use a pinch grip--the curve at the back of the blade is very comfy for more careful cutting chores. Get these first if you want to start out with some quality knives, and then branch out into some thinner, harder, and more specialized ones like Japanese veggie knives, Chinese cleavers, and etc. And they are built like tanks, so will last a lifetime with care.

These knives are amazing. My husband was opening an avocado and accidentally sliced straight though the pit!!
