Great knives for a great price!,

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 3-Piece Starter Set with Bonus Sharpening Steel (Kitchen)
After being disappointed with an array of cutlery over the years I finally found a set of knives that I enjoy using and even looking at. These are beautifully crafted knives that fit well in any kitchen. As for utility I have found the Chef's knife to be very well balanced and hefty enough to glide through about anything with ease. The 6" utility knife is very useful and can be used for an array of kitchen duties. It is especially handy for trimming fat and meats (ribs, briskets, etc). The 4" parer is great as a paring knife and can easily be used for trim work also. These three knives cover the majority of all kitchen work the average person is likely to encounter. The 9" sharpening steel is a necessity and I would not go without it. I would certainly add a block for storage to protect the blades. These knives are very, very sharp. Guard those fingers or you could lose them!
The only thing I can complain about is Henckel's overall lineup of knives. I think they...Read more

High quality knives, just the sizes you need,

Don't get fooled into thinking you need a 12 piece knife set - you won't use 80% of the pieces on a regular basis. Far better to buy quality and get the three most commonly used knives instead. This has been a great set, holds its edge well. All it needs is a weekly tune-up on the included honing steel. The only other knife you need for a complete collection is a serrated blade for bread and bagels.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 3-Piece Starter Set - the perfect set of knives,

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 3-Piece Starter Set is truly the perfect set of knives for a beginning cook or for an accomplished cook. The set includes a 4" paring knife, a 6" utility knife, a 8" chef's knife, and as an bonus, a sharpening steel. Unless you have unusually large hands, these sizes are perfect.
I have these exact pieces, although not purchased as a set. I purchased them separately years ago and I love them. They are used daily. I also have a Pro S bread knife that I use a lot as well as a Pro S serrated 5" utility knife. Henckels cutlery is among the very best in the world, including the top French and Japanese brands. I have tried them all and I always reach for my Henckels Pro S knives first.
I have fairly small hands and I find the handles fit my hands well. The knives are well balanced and my hands and wrists don't get tired using them. I like the fact the knife blade extends all the way to the back of the knife - the blade does not get...Read more
