Exceptional value for two of the most used knives in the kitchen. I have these on my magnetic knife holder, always at the ready. I bake a lot and cook every day and the paring knife makes quick work of peeling and coring fruit. I like the Professional S line, the heft of it and the handle fits well in my hand. You can't go wrong with this match.
These two knives will get you on your way to cooking like a pro! This is the set I bought for my first restaurant assignment. I love these knives! The chef's knife is still with me.
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 many, many years. It has performed year in and year out, and I cook a lot. I sharpen it maybe twice a year. I always hand-wash all my knives, even though they are dishwasher safe; that's probably why mine looks almost new.
You'll be hard pressed to choose two knives that are more handy than a chef's knife and a paring knife and with this two piece set you can get both for an exceptional price. The special formula high carbon steel allows this knife to be strong and sharp yet resist corrosion. The forged bolster makes this knife strong and weighted nicely for balance and no cutting fatigue.
I gave this two piece set to my daughter when she was in her first college apartment. She and her roommated used the heck out of the knives (and probably put them in the dishwasher) and they held up great. Stayed sharp and still look like new.
You can do most anything with a chef and paring knife. Both are incredibly sharp and have a great weight and balance. My only suggestion would be to add a sharpener or honing steel.
The Pro S series is a great knife series and is sharp, stays sharp and feels good in the hand. The combo of these 2 mostly-used knives is a great value. You can always add more later, either from Pro or Pro S.
Every kitchen needs an 8" Chef and a Paring knife. You could cook everyday comfortable with these two knives. German special formula steel makes these knives durable and super sharp.
