My dad is the biggest Henckels fan, and after he spent some big money on a wonderful set from Zwilling, I was feeling left out! I wanted a set that had all of the knives I needed for my day-to-day cooking but I didn't want anything too extravagant just in case I didn't like them. This was the perfect block for me! The price is great and it has everything you would need in a knife set. The quality is wonderful as well! I love my Henckels!
