[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this set of knives. We purchased this set and got the set of steak knives to go with it. They are so sharp and feel so good in my hand. Very ergonomically made. My husband is a knife guru and a precision machinist. Needless to say he has high standards for knives. He is very impressed with these. There was one knife that did not have a perfect flush finish. But again he is used to +|- zero tolerance. So I don’t read too much into that opinion. It’s nothing a non machine at like myself would have noticed. We also bought some of the imported Zwilling for a gift so we had the chance to compare. And hands down these are worth the quality. The price was more than double what we wanted to spend but the lifetime warranty means we will have these forever. So pay once, cry once.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Knives are lovely and have a nice balanced feel. The block is surprisingly large but I will get used to that. The four slots in the front fit 4 of steak knives, which are sold separately. And there's an empty slot for the Santoku 7". It would be nice if all this was sold as one instead needing to make 3 separate purchases to complete the set and fill the block. It was a bit confusing but I thankfully got the order correct.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Zwilling Pro le Blanc self-sharpening knife set after extensive research, and I am so happy with my choice! The knife set is beautiful, and I specifically wanted vertically oriented knife slots.
One of the features I wanted in the knife set was for it to have capabilities that I could grow into using. I am in my early thirties, and I want to tackle a lifetime of new recipes, cuisines, and preparation techniques. With the Pro le Blanc advertised as suitable for both Eastern and Western handling techniques, I feel confident that this set will support me in my explorations.
I also appreciate that the knife block sharpens the knives—each time I return a knife to the block, I hear a clear “shing” as the blade is sharpened. Since I bought this set with longevity in mind, I am glad that it has this built in feature.
Further supporting enduring usability are the ergonomic features that are advertised. As a chiropractor, I know how important ergonomic design is for avoiding repetitive micro-trauma, and my hands are extremely important to me to protect.
I look forward to enjoying this knife block for years to come!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have debated purchasing new knives for a very long time and am kicking myself for not buying these earlier! They are beautiful, functional, and so well made.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this set after moving to a new house. Very pleased with the purchase. Did not come with too many knives but each one can be used without having the feeling of wasting one. Wouls recommend to those who really wants an upgrade
