These were recommended by my niece's husband who is a chef. I just had a significant birthday and bought them for me!! They are WONDERFUL!!! The only disappointment was that there were empty slots when I put the knives in them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Knives feel a little on the light side, but that's my perspective. Two of the knife handles came either witha deep cut on the handle (blemish) and or the milling of the handle still had plastic fray material on the edge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love having knives that are sharp enough to cut without feeling like I am sawing through my food.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We'd ordered this knife set on 08/23/20 and it arrived on 09/09/20, we considered it fast during the COVID 19 pandemic environment. The knifes are sharp, light-weighted and handles are easy to hold. I've been using American knifes from Calphalon and Martha Stuart for years and I think Zwilling Gourmet knifes are pretty sharp, light in weight and am amazed that they cut through fruit seeds neatly.
Two things to be noted: All knifes are stamped with 'Made in Germany' except for the scissors; There is one empty block slot after you put all the knifes, sharpener and scissors into the block slots.
