As a home cook/chef, I wanted a quality knife set that would serve me for years, but did not want the high cost of a truly professional knife set.  I tried a competitor’s Gourmet set, but it was too flimsy and  lacked the level of quality that I sought.

The Professional S was just right.  The knives feel good in the hand, cut extremely well, and feel like they will last a lifetime.  The Professional S line seems like a nice balance between quality and price for the serious home chef.
