ZWILLING J.A. Henckels TWIN Signature 11-pc Knife Block Set

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature Stainless-Steel 11-Piece Knife Set with Block I chose a set with one steak knife and received a set with 6 steak knives minus the utility knives I was hoping for. 2 stars for rapid delivery and for sending 3 knives I could actually use, but the box had previously been opened and the knives it contained were not the set pictured on the box (see photo). Also of note, the block that came with this set could not contain either the items I received or the ones pictured on the box. It had no scissor slot. This is a minor issue though since I planned to keep the scissors in a drawer. I merely wanted to point out that this aspect of the product is not the one pictured anywhere. Zwilling J.A.

We researched knives from several sources. Though the Zwilling Twin Signature set was not rate #1 it was in the top 5. Given our average usage for everyday food preparation this 11 pcs set met all our needs for type and level of quality. Given other reviews on Amazon we were a bit leery given the price of the set. However, upon arrival we inspected each knife and after a initial washing and immediate drying tested each. We are very pleased they are what they were listed to be. Originals not seconds.

I fell in love with Zwilling a few years back when my anniversary wusthof set was stolen by a coworker and I needed some decent knives fast. Copped a zwilling professional s chef from a local kitchen supply and never looked back. When I saw this set I could scarcely believe it. 11-piece zwilling set for LESS than my old Wusthof chef? How? Well, my mother had been using a 50 dollar cuisine art set(or what was left of it) for like 5 years, so I had a good excuse to find out. The overall craftsmanship is pretty shabby next to their upper echelon, which came as no surprise. They weren't balanced very well and the handles were machined from some cheap composite. 3 of the handles even had gouges and chips on them! The blades, however, were exceptional. Thick, hard and deadly sharp even before honing. My mother was very pleased. So there it is! Want some wicked home cutlery and aren't put off by a few superficial blemishes? Look no further. Need new knives for your work? Look at their more pricy series, as the weight and balance of these would make professional use tiring and cumbersome. ✌️

I hate having to pay almost 300 dollars for a decent knife set, but we got tired of trying knives that either imitate German design and are obviously cheap (bend, rust, etc.) and knives that may look pretty in their block and be forged and what not yet lack sharpness or are simply not practical in their shape/comfort in hand. So I give this set a definite thumbs up. We do own a set of the International Henckels (made in China) stainless steel serrated steak knives, which happen to be very good, and six of them fit into this Zwilling Henckels block.

All the knife have marked with made in Germany but the scissor is marked "made in China" , so do the math,how come the whole set of knife is made in Germany and just the scissor is made in China ? I think all are made in China and the scissor was marked made in China by mistake. They don't want you to know this knife set are made in CHINA.
