I have rheumatoid arthritis and cutting almost anything was painful. Now cutting is so much easier with Zwilling knives. The handles are comfortable. The knives are a little pricey, but are well worth the investment.
These Pro S knives by Zwilling are perfection. The forged German steel is very durable. The blades are very sharp and stay that way for a long time and when it is time to sharpen they are very easy. The traditional three rivet design of the handle with the full bolster are very comfortable and feel familiar. The Chefs knife is great for most of my tasks. I use the serrated one for tomatoes and citrus and the pairing knife for all my other small tasks.
This is a a very good combination of true cooking knives. The Chef's knife is the most popular all purpose knife around. The paring and the serrated utility will handle the smaller and more specific tasks - peeling, coring, slicing tomatoes and bread. You're pretty much covered. A longer bread knife, maybe a carving knife, and possibly a santoku would be the next additions depending on how you cook.
Professional S is terrific line of knives. They feature a traditional straight bolster and a slightly smaller handle. As a result they are a little lighter than the new Pro line. I have owned one of these knives for years (more than 10). It has performed year in and year out, and I cook a lot. I sharpen it maybe twice a looks almost new.
If you are looking for a high quality set of the 3 most used knives in the kitchn, look no further. the high carbon stainless steel with a traditional look and a lifetime warranty... you can't go wrong with these.
The one I always envision when thinking of decades-old Zwilling perfection in German stainless steel is Professional S. Edge retention, no stain steel, classic tough polymer grip and excellent balance.
An amazing three piece set that gets you started in the kitchen! I love having the serrated knife, along with the two most used knives in my kitchen, the chef and pairing knife. Great deal!
Pro S is such a great design which is proven because they've been making knives this way for hundreds of years. They're forged from a high carbon German steel and made in Germany. That means they are going to be sharp, stay sharp and last a lifetime.
The 8" chef knife is the work horse knife and can handle all your large cutting chores with ease. The serrated utlity is perfect for anything that is hard on the outside and soft on the inside; think oranges, tomatoes or a package of sausage. And the parer is your go -to for anything you hold in your hand while cutting.
