This is one of the most comfortable knives I have ever used. That's attributed to the curved bolster which forces you to hold the knife like a professional chef holds one. It's perfectly balanced and you can use this knife for holiday meal prep and not realize how much time you're spending chopping and dicing. And the steak knives are phenomenal...they are non serrated and cut through beef, pork and chicken like it were butter. This set is German made; I plan on giving them to one of my grandchildren when I am done with the day to day cooking I currently do.
Pro Line Our most popular line and the steak knives are included which creates an exceptional value. The curved bolster means that you will have fatigue-free cutting, slicing, dicing and it supports the pinch grip which is the safest way to hold a knife. Special formula German steel and ice-hardened, which means it is super sharp and will stay sharp longer.
Set has Chefs knife for rocking cutters...large santoku for those choppers...and super supporting cast! Including 4 steak knives. All are No Stain GSS and curved bolsters for pinch-grip. Space in unique angled block for additional knives as needed.
It seems like they have thought of everything with this knife block! I love that it look a little different than most block with the slanted top that makes the knives sit in the block very well because they have a slant that makes holding the knife much more comfortable. This set comes with ever knife I need and I love that it has both the chef's knife and santoku. I also love that it comes with steak knives so I didn't have to look around to buy them somewhere else. This is everything I need!
These are my favorite knives of all time. I love that this set comes with a santoku, a chef knives, and steak knives. The Pro line is the best German line on the market. They a balanced, durable, and fit perfectly in your hand.
This Block set is a bit pricey but you will have it forever and a few years longer! You will also find tons of choices of other knives, (that you didn't know you needed yet) and there will be space for them and they can match your set. I love the angle of this block it really showcases the knives and allows that perfect curved bolster to rest comfortably in its spot. Quality knives aren't cheap but these are a great deal for the quality that you get.
This comprehensive set has all that a good home cook would need to prepare the most delicious meal. The quality of the Pro line is unquestionable. The steel will hold up for a lifetime. The innovative angled bolster is easy to grip, keeping the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control.
I like this set because it is great for a two cook household. It has two chef-quality working knives - the 8" chef's and the 7" santoku. Both can do just about all the cutting, chopping and slicing you will need. And with the specialty knives and steak knives, you are set. Add a carving set and this becomes the best wedding/housewarming gift ever.
The uniquely angled block is definitely for right-handers. (Get the forward facing block if you are a lefty.)
The angled shape of this block is perfect for housing the curved bolster on the Pro series knives. This bolster provides the most comfortable pinch grip with your thumb and forefinger on the bolster you have complete control of the knife like an extension of your hand. The highest quality German steel is razor sharp and retains it sharp edge use after use. This is a comprehensive set of all the knives you'll need to cook like a chef.
