I have always admired my parent's Zwilling knives. Now that I'm on my own i finally have my own. You cant beat the value for the price. I get all of the essentials with this set. My favorite is the prep knife. Its bigger than a pairing knife but smaller than the chef so if i dont feel like pulling out the big guns for a quick chop job I've got this one ready to go. I love the heritage of this line. Its been around forever and looks like it will be for a long time. The quality German steel and construction really make a difference. I also like how they left a few open slots so I can customize it with additional pieces to fit my needs.
One of our most popular lines world-wide at an exceptional value. The knives included in this anniversary block are some of the most used knives in the kitchen. I like the handle and the weight of the knives, they are comfortable in my hand, which means I can work for longer periods of time. German steel and made in Germany, these knives will last for years to come.
I love these knives. I can cut virtually anything with ease and precision, thanks to the amazingly sharp blades, the perfect weight of the knives, and the design of the handles. I don't know why I waited so long to buy these. The block and the knives themselves are also a pleasure to look at.
My mother received these knives as a wedding present from her brother in the 70's, and passed them down to me when I went to college 10 years ago. These knives are still sharper than ever and my favorite knives to use in the kitchen. I would even bring in the chef's knife into work with me when I worked in a restaurant. With proper care and sharpening almost 50 years later, these knives still cut like perfectly. This brand has earned my trust in reliability in my kitchen knives. Unfortunately, a friend borrowed a knife from my set and moved away which was heartbreaking. I have to replace that one but I'll be using this brand as far as I can see in the future. I also recently purchased a carving knife from their Miyabi line and am extremely satisfied in the craftsmanship. Great purchase!
Again, bought this set in the 80's, use them just about daily. One of the best investments I've ever made. Have them sharpened by your service every 3 or 4 years, they cut like new. Everyone who has used them wants a set. Great set of knives, great service. An amazing standard in this day and age.
Very high quality. I have had this set since 1996. I had a friend who won this for his company sales contest. He had no interest in knives and just gave them to me. I still use them every day and I can't believe the luck I had that he didn't see the value of these awesome knives. I will never need to replace them.
I cannot say enough good things about the Four Star line. I received the chef's knife as a gift years and years ago. And it has traveled with me and made many fabulous meals. These knives are a good weight - not too heavy and not too light. you can work all day with them, and no fatigue. I hone my knife often, and it holds its edge so well I forget to sharpen it. The block has slots to grow with, but this is a good set so you don't need to add much, filet knife, slicer?
