ZWILLINGProfessional S 2-Piece Chef Knife Set, Made in Company-Owned German Factory with Special Formula Steel perfected for almost 300 Years, Dishwasher Safe

Great product

There is a lot of confusion around whether these are the real deal. I think because Amazon can have many different sellers it makes things difficult to confirm. I got mine from Amazon as the seller. They seem legit. They do have different markings, but that seems to be a redesign that was done by Zwilling a few years ago. I comparing these knifes to the 20 year old ones I also own, they seem right. So I think they are right. The packaging was a little damaged and there were a few different stickers on the plastic wrap (no pic) that made me think these had been shipped around a bit.

The knives had penetrated the manufacturers packaging, and the cardboard box that it was shipped from Amazon in, since it was just a flimsy plastic sheeting over the knife box. I would think that if a knife set is being shipped, that the packaging would be such that the knives would not cut through the manufacturers packaging, especially when the knives are fairly expesnive knives.

Best knives we have ever had, worth the extra money.

Not as much of a heavy duty feel as I expected

I have a set of Henckels Professional S knives. I wanted a shorter chef's knife and this was perfect. I would have preferred a 3 inch paring knife but apparently they do not make that any more. The 4 inch is OK but not that easy to use for some things. Wish they had discontinued the 4 inch and kept the 3 inch.

These are knives for the kitchen pro!

Superb product for the price. Nearly 35 years ago, while in Germany on business, I purchased a chef's knife from Henkels. We STILL have the knife, use it daily and treasure the old world attention to quality and detail. I hope the new ones lives up to that tradition and that my Grand kids will use them for the next 35 years!
