I have owned my knife set for over 15 years and they still look like new! I kept buying inexpensive knife sets over and over again until one day I saw these on sale. They were still very expensive to me at the time, until I did the math of how much money I wasting on the cheaply made brands. J.A. Henckels is the best brand out there as far as I'm concerned. I NEVER wash them in the dishwasher. Very satisfied, and would recommend them to anyone.

I've owned the 8 set for over 2 years now and love em. They stay sharp longer than any other knife set we've had. Handle holds up well too. I hand wash them. Great knives.

Paid a premium price for this set of Pro S knives and am disappointed with durability. Just mailed third knife back to factory because of handles that crack and crumble at rivet joints. Set is used gently and only for light work. Blades also seem to scratch easily and while very sharp after steeling, they lose edge quickly. These would never be usable in a comercial kitchen and I dispute the pro label.

Strength
-Very High quality and sturdy set-Sharp stainless steel blades-Lifetime warranty-Heavy enough handles
Weakness
-Does not come with the boning knife, 6 (longer) utility knife
I bought this Henckels Pro-S 7-piece block set for my wife's Christmas present from Amazon.com. While researching the Four Star and the Pro-S knives, I learned that the only difference was just the handle material. The Pro-S is the same as the Four Star with a more durable material for the handle and with the same blades. At an additional ~$20 for the whole set, it seemed worth it. This set comes with the following items:* 3-inch parer knife* 5-inch serrated utility knife* 5-inch hollow-edge santoku* 8-inch chef's knife* Kitchen shears* 9-inch sharpening steel* Hardwood block (10 slots + 6 steak knife slots)These knives work UNBELIEVABLY EASILY on ANY cutting / carving needs in the kitchen. My wife just loves the paring knife and the 8 chef's knife. No more pain in her wrists and hand putting force onto knives to cut through food!The only drawback to Four Star 7-piece set was that Pro-S did not have the longer 6 utility knife but my wife would rather make better use of the 5 santoku that came with the Pro-S instead. Also, compared with the Pro-S 10-piece set, this 7-piece set is short of a 2-3/4 parer/boner, 5-1/2 boner, and a 6 utility knife but my wife didn't feel the need for these. We can always buy other Pro-S knives that she needs more, individually.The 3 parer knife works with ease on cutting fruits and vegetables. And the 5 utility knife does a fine job on tomatoes, bagels, etc. The shears are pretty darn good too, with thick, sturdy blades enough to cut frozen meat with no sweat, etc. This set is no comparison to the $50 - $100 Henckels International or Fine Edge sets. These Pro-S knives are in a completely different league. Best of all, the Henckels Pro-S comes with a Lifetime warranty against defects! If you like a heavier handle and if you like the super-sharp sturdy quality that will last a lifetime go for the Pro-S. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Twin Pro-S set!
