[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Zwilling knives are the best and most comfortable knives for all prep work and slicing. My first set was a wedding gift 33 years ago and they are still in excellent condition with regular sharpening and care!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this knife set because of the quality and thought/ care that went into design of a classic knife set. It is exactly as expected for a mid grade knife set. No issues at all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been waiting years for a great knife set and this is it. I’m excited to use them and can already tell they are of great quality and have a sharp blade. Thank you.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have not yet used the set, as we’ve just unboxed it from our registry gift. The packaging shows care on the manufacturers part, and there is a great sturdy weight to the block. We are excited to try the knives themselves very soon.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice knife set….. but the Chinese made shears? It does say “Knives manufactured in Germany “ on the box, so it’s not false advertising. Knives could fit the block a little better too, I’m guessing it’s used for more than just this set. Mainly bought it for the knives, definitely satisfied there.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Knives look beautiful and well balanced. Not a fan of the block wood block and its not covered under warranty.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What comes to mind when you first heard the name Zwilling? I’ve heard “the BMW of knives” or the “Hermes of knives” well the product lives up to every bit of its name. When you first unbox the knives, you jump with excitement, one that makes a little bit of pee drizzle out. When you first touch the handle, it feels like you are first laying hands on the partner of your dreams, the excitement continues to build. You take a moment to pause and enjoy the beauty of the engineering. The way the light reflects off the blades. You think about weather you want to even toss away it’s packaging, for you want to savor this first time you unpack the knives. You continue to Unwrap each knife slowly, as you don’t want this to end too quickly. You pause again to read each word of the protected knife packaging - no matter that the language is in German and you don’t understand each word. Still you stand there and pretend to comprehend. You slide each knife slowly into its block, careful not to poke the wood too hard fearful of damaging each tip. Even though these knives would be able to handle it. You take another moment to be in awe of its beauty, placed so magnificently on the counter. You start to imagine what kind of items you would use it for. But that moment is too far away. You think to yourself, do you even want to use it and contaminate the steel. You start to daydream about a YouTube show and putting these knives on full display. Prepping for a 5 star Michelin restraint. You get a little more excited. You stand there for several more minutes with your eyes glued to the knife block. The eyes drying up because you haven’t blinked. Not wanting to blink because you know that you must soon snap back to reality. Suddenly, your phone rings. Its your mom calling you about the knives because you sent her a picture just moments ago. You answer as you snap out of your trance. You take the knives and put them in its forever spot on the counter and tell yourself you’ll save that next phase for another day. It’s already too much excitement for the day.
