ZWILLING Professional S 7-Piece Razor-Sharp German Knife Set

The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series is a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels, featuring trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chefs, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered.

These knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard, resulting in improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckelss Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

J.A. Henckelss Twin Pro S knives boast a comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design that wont wear against the hand and helps to provide control when doing any cutting task. These durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife for stability and durability. The impeccably balanced super bolster provides weight and adds balance for safer and more professional cutting.

The set supplies a cook with a variety of cutting edges and a solid hardwood block to store them in. The set consists of an 8-inch chef's knife, a 5-inch hollow-edge santoku, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, and a 3-inch paring knife. A 9-inch sharpening steel keeps their edges in order, and a pair of kitchen shears to snip herbs, flowers, or string is also included. Everything stores neatly in the attractive natural hardwood block.

Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality knives, making Pro S handles heavier and knives less weight-forward. Handles are also smaller, which those with small hands might appreciate. Except for fully forged blades less than 6 inches long, such as the paring and utility knives in this set, the blades and bolsters of Henckels's first-rate cutlery lines are formed by a high-tech welding process that combines three high-carbon, stainless-steel types into what appears to be a single piece so a knife's parts have distinct, desirable characteristics.

All pieces in the set carry a lifetime warranty against defects. The laser-controlled edge is sharper and stays sharper longer with a more consistent blade angle. The Friodur ice hardening ensures maximum no-stain properties, more blade strength, and improved resistance to corrosion and pitting. The full visible tang construction provides proper balance and greater strength, while the high-carbon no-stain steel, an exclusive J.A. Henckels formula, is nonstaining and nonrusting. The precision-honed blades are sharper and stay sharper longer, and the knives are dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended by J.A. Henckels.
