ZWILLING Twin Signature 19-Piece German Knife Set with Block, Made in Company-Owned German Factory with Special Formula Steel perfected for almost 300 Years

I did extensive research online before deciding on this knife set, and I can confidently say that it lives up to the hype. The craftsmanship is exceptional, with razor-sharp blades that slice effortlessly through anything you throw their way. Not only is this set visually stunning, but it also delivers on performance. If you're in the market for a high-quality knife set that will elevate your culinary experience, look no further - this set comes highly recommended from me.

This block has lasted a long time and these knives are still good quality, we just continue to sharpen. We purchased a different more expensive block from this company and actually prefer this block. The knifes are dishwasher safe and have not rust at all. Look good on our counter as well.

Very good Germany made knives! Pretty sharp, probably even sharper then our Japan made knives. No any rust after long time using, but we used only handwashing followed by thorough drying or wiping by paper towel,

The pictures of the blades on the box show "FRIODUR Ice Hardened" printed on the blades, but none of my knives have that printed on them. It made me wonder if these are a knockoffs, so I went to Zwilling's website and did find this exact knife set on their website. Some of them show it printed and some don't. Everything other than that appears to be legit. The blades are stamped, not forged. They are obviously not Zwilling's higher end knives, but they are very nice looking and very sharp out of the box. The smaller blades have a thinner tang than the bigger ones and are more flexible. These knives almost appear to be kinda cheap, but I guess time will tell. In the set they give you 8 steak knives and 1 vegetable utility knife, but the vegetable knife is just a steak knife. It has the exact same part number as the steak knives! Do they think we wouldn't notice? This set does not come with a cleaver but the block has a slot for one. The block is nicely finished. My only gripe with the block is that it is long and takes up extra space. On my old set, the angled part of the block was more upright and took up about 3 inches less counterspace. Not a huge deal. Overall, This appears to be a decent set. I plan on doing an update after using them for a while.

Love my Zwilling knives in the classic knife block. Love them so much that I went to the expense of having a professional knife sharpening company give them a new edge after having them a year and a half. What a pleasant experience having good knives around for slicing and dicing produce and meat. I'm proud of myself for spending the extra bucks for knives from Germany. Go, Zwilling, go!

First thing first, I have done a lot of research on block sets as I have been looking for quite a while to make sure we make an informed decision for our home. From reviews, hunting in stores (for what we could actually see physically), word of mouth and manufacturer details, I really feel we made a good pick here. Pros - -My god don't cut yourself, these things are sharp. After cutting through the fatty end of a grilled strip steak like it wasn't even there, I had to warn the kid not to kill herself. Seriously, they are sharp. Yes, we had a less than average set to begin with and that does affect the impression but these did not let my expectations down. - Quality - You get what you pay for, simple as that. When I handled the three I used, steak knife, bread and Santoku, you can just feel how well they are put together. The handle was more comfortable than I thought it would be and nicer looking in hand. My wife really wanted the handle like Henkels International but we really like this. The blade is slightly flexible like some have said but my god, what are some people expecting for a set at $329 dollars? It is not like they are so flexible to be anything negative in my opinion and I think the drama queens need to slow down on that one. When I put pressure on the blade, I didn't get anything crazy regarding blade movement. First impression is nice, we will see where it ends up after some real use. Small cons -It would have been nice to have some variance in the block color. Sure, we can stain it something else but why not just offer it as an option? -We kept the slips for all the knives to keep part numbers, just in case we wanted to add some more steak knives for those party nights. Why no documentation explaining what you have? We cut the list off the box as well to make sure we never lost track. Yes, you can also look at the knives as the part number is there but not if that knife disappears magically. -The block has the extra slot for a cleaver and that we like, but there doesn't seem to be a spot for the pearing knife. I would rather not keep a quality knife rattling around in a drawer that people open and slam. Protect the investment. Overall, good product for the money. I would tell others to buy these, but I don't feel I will have to after they use ours.

I had never had an actual knife set before that wasn't frankensteined together so I decided to splurge and pulled the trigger on this set. Well worth it! It was well packaged and arrived on time. The knives were very very sharp! In fact, I told my teenage son, who was cooking our Christmas prime rib and slicing it, to be care as the knives are very sharp. He ended up cutting himself two times (small cuts) that evening while using these knives. Three years later they still look new. I recently sharpened them using the Ken Onion workshop and they are just as sharp as they day they arrived. The only neutral thing I can say is when I opened the box there were 18 tools which confused me. Turns out they consider the block a "piece". Three years later no rust and still glad I bought this.

Love these knives! Makes chopping a breeze. Just be careful as they are extra sharp! I hand wash and dry mine - I saw people complaining of rust spots. I don’t like to wash knives in a dishwasher.
