I purchased the 7pc Zwilling pro set and could not be more pleased. The  8” chef”s knife feels substantive and natural for the hand. It comes very sharp out of the box. I like the half booster design, which allows you to use the entire knife blade, in addition to giving it a modern look. I’ve had the pro-s and decided to upgrade to these knives because of the way it feels and specifically because I disliked the full bolster of the pro-s. The 8” bread knife is great. The knife block has a rich dark color that looks expensive and very ergonomic. For the professional or avid cook, these knives blow away the competition!
