They are Henckels what more needs said? They are one of the top cutlery makers so if you are unfamiliar with them the price might seem a touch high. Believe me it is justified. They do require care though. I would recommend a quick youtube lesson on sharpening and caring for them and never put them away wet! You may see flaws or slight chips that are easily sharpened away (the sharper the edge the easier it is to chip) and each knife has a different use so they have different edges.
 Beware of anywhere that is selling these for any price much less than this. I saw a set claiming to be these for a fraction of the price but they were made in China.
 These are genuine so the quality is there and the price is comparable to Zwilling's actual site but Wayfair's shipping is better and quicker!
