Bringing to bear 280 years of experience making and studying knives, Zwilling J.A. Henckels has created the most user-friendly knives on the market in its Pro series. Precision forged from a single piece of steel, blades are ice-hardened to retain their sharp edges. Honed and hand-finished, the knives are remarkable sturdy and balanced and offer full-edge utility so the whole length of the blade can be used from bolster to tip. Housed in a bamboo block, the set includes a 3" and 4" paring, 5" serrated, 5.5" prep, 7" santoku, 8" bread, and 8" chef's knives; twin kitchen shears; and twin sharpening steel.
