The swilling Pro line of kitchen knives really is the best of the best! I love their german knives in general but the elegance of the pro line is unsurpassed. the gentle curve of the bolster makes them extremely ergonomic and encourages you to hold your knife tin the most efficient way. The 6 steak knives are primo, the best, bar non, but they are pricy alone. this really adds to the value of the set. the assortment of knives includes 3 different pstyle and sized paring knives and 2 sizes of my new favorite the santokus.
