Great starter set

Great set to upgrade to. Four excellent Pro knives have all the benefits of the Pro line - high quality German steel and craftsmanship, angled bolster for a more comfortable pinch grip - and a beautiful knife block perfect for a country kitchen decor.
The 8-inch chef's knife is world class. With a solid grip and full tang construction, the weight of this knife is benefit when cutting large dense foods. The 5.5-inch prep knife balances it with its super fine edge. Great for more delicate work. Add the paring and the bread knives and everything is there for a complete gourmet meal.
Great set! It has all you need to cook many fabulous meals and room to grow into as you expand your culinary chops. It comes in that sexy black block. Looks good in any kitchen.
And these are seriously good knives too. Pro line knives feature the most innovative design thinking and are manufactured with the latest technology in the industry. They each have a fully integrated angled bolster that is easy to pinch grip, keeping the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control. The full tang of the blade is riveted in three places to the contoured composite handle for comfort and security.
And every knife is forged from one of the best cutlery steels available. The quality of the steel is important because the better the steel, the longer a knife will hold an edge and how easy it will be to sharpen. These knives will stand up to a lifetime of use. Minimal maintenance. Hone them regularly and sharpen, at most, once a year. I hand wash so they look brand new, but they are dishwasher safe.
Complete start set. It has all the knives someone needs to cook great meals. And these knives rock. They are part of the Pro line, one of Zwilling's best.
The steel that these knives are made of will hold up for a lifetime and the knife requires little maintenance, just weekly honing and, at most, and annual sharpening. Each knife has an angled bolster, a new design features that matches the grip of professional chef's. It keeps the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control. I like arc of this knife too; great for dicing, mincing, chiffonade and julienne.
I absolutely love this block set. The Zwilling Pro knives are amazing. The way the bolster is curved so you can actually hold your knife properly is a game changer! The knives are so durable, really well constructed, and will hold up for a long time thanks to the ice hardening process these knives go through to maintain lasting sharpness. This block set is beautiful with the rustic white wood grain; the black handles and light toned wood looks really nice together. I also like that the slots in the block are created specific for the Pro knives and how they fit perfectly in the block. I love the assortment, all knives I use and want in a set.
The Pro 7-piece knife block set in black is just a thing of beauty... as I did, you have the option to add 6 steak knife (only problem is, their only sold in sets of 4). But you can also fill the block with a few extra slots available. Great piece to showcase on the countertop.
