We've owned this Zwilling Pro 17 pc Knife set for a few years, and it's still in excellent condition. Knives are sharpened as needed, and they are quite sharp, making prep work a breeze; even for arthritic hands. They're perfectly weighted and balanced with comfortable handles. We use every knife in the set regularly, and the scissors are fantastic, too. The block is also good quality, quite sturdy. Have a third (top) rack in the dishwasher, allowing me to place the smaller bladed pieces in slots, and lay the large blades flat. They come out looking great, with no rusting. I air dry (no heat option), remove them immediately, give them a wipe with toweling and store. If I was younger, I'd hand wash, but the dishwasher method has worked quite well. Very pleased with this set. It will last for many more years.

These knives are simply exquisite. I was leery of the price tag, but have been astounded how smoothly they glide through anything. No more fighting to saw through food or packaging. The most concerning thing now is avoiding cutting myself by accident!

Very nice knives!

We received this knife block set for our wedding. It has been a great addition to the kitchen. The wood is great quality and adds style to our countertops. The knives are easily cleaned and durable. Let’s get into the sharpness! We have had no issues with how sharp these are. Great for cutting meat, bread, cakes, fruits you name it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this set! Been waiting to get this set and worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The knives are of excellent quality and very sharp out of the box. The kitchen shears are made in China and feel noticeably less premium than the rest of the set, but functionally they are sharp and work well. The set is well worth the price.

I researched so many sets and this one had the most usable knives in my opinion. I use each one fairly equally and my favorite are the hollow edge especially when chopping or slicing potatoes. I've had this set for 3 years now and would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants razor sharp knives that feel great in your hand. Perfect! The only thing tricky is using the sharpening rod.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always used German tools - they are the best knives for commercial or home use. My sous chef loves these knives as well.
