For the gourmet at-home cook or someone who loves Pro knives, this set is a truly complete set with every necessary knife in the block! You even get 6 steak knives, shears for your herbs and a honing steel to keep those edges in shape! The curved bolster on the Pro set makes all the difference - gives more support and comfort. And the ice-hardening process makes for super-sharp and durable knives that will not rust or chip. One of the best German sets you can own!
