Great set to upgrade to. Four excellent Pro knives have all the benefits of the Pro line - high quality German steel and craftsmanship, angled bolster for a more comfortable pinch grip - and a beautiful knife block perfect for a country kitchen decor.

The 8-inch chef's knife is world class. With a solid grip and full tang construction, the weight of this knife is benefit when cutting large dense foods. The 5.5-inch prep knife balances it with its super fine edge. Great for more delicate work. Add the paring and the bread knives and everything is there for a complete gourmet meal.
