Bought this for my hubby as a b-day gift! It's a beautiful set. It's all the pro-S line except for the steak knives. The steak knives aren't made in Germany like the other knives. I think it's a great deal and don't care to have the fancier set with the pro-S steak knives. That could be an extra $300-400. What's most important is having a great set of knives for cooking. My hubby was so excited and is looking forward to using them. 

FYI: it says d/w safe in the mfr pamphlet but I'd wash the cutlery by hand. 

Quick delivery! Nice set and solid bamboo block.
