This is a great knife set, you get a lot of the essentials, but then some other blade shapes that don’t usually come in a block, like a peeler. The Gourmet is a great knife that has a lot of the same features and looks of the Zwilling Pro but at a more affordable price point. It’s also nice that the block comes with steak knives so I don’t have to make an additional purchase for those. Great sharp knives!
