I love the "Pro" line of knives because the handles on them are so comfortable with the shape and the material that they are made out of and that the blade is super sharp. There is also a feature that I haven't seen in a knife before where the metal is curved where the blade meets the handle to give my fingers a place to rest while chopping. This is a great set that includes extra spaces for me to expand my collection if and when I want to get more. I also love how this block includes spaces for steak knives so that all my knives can be stored in one place.
