My fiancé is jealous., October 24, 2001

Oh, dear God, I love these knives. Their weight in your hand is hefty without being tiring. The blades are sharp, precise, and easy to handle. And do they slice? I mean -- and do they SLICE!!!After each meal, I hand-wash these instruments and give them a quick touch of the sharpening stone. I then gently, very gently, place them back into their case for safekeeping. Is it any wonder my fiancé is jealous?I do have one complaint -- I only have four of these knives. I'm going to need at least eight more for the grilling I plan to do next summer. I mean, it's going to take a big patio party to properly show off these fine blades.

The bogus MSRP price in this listing aside, the $99 is the typical street price for this set and it's not cheap but so worth it. Very good quality in blade and handle. The knives make eating steak a special event ... well, almost. But it's a serious step up from the Eversharp knives, where the serration is great but rips the meat rather than cut (as the smooth edged Pro-S). Would buy again, even if the price is a bit high.

Best knives ever, July 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 4-Piece Steak Set (Kitchen)

Received the “Pro” kitchen set as a gift for Christmas. ....They are sharper than any other knife, cut through everything like butter, and hold very naturally in your hand. So, when I received a gift certificate for Amazon, I thought “why not”… I’ll get a matching steak knife set .... But ONCE AGAIN, I found that the price is worth it… I LOVE MY HENCKEL "PRO" KNIVES!!! This will be the last set I’ll ever have to buy.
