I have always enjoyed using high quality products and when it comes to knives I know Henckels was a cut above (pun intended). We received this knife set as part of our wedding registry and I was overjoyed when I finally got to put these bad boys to use. I sliced right through the chicken breasts I was preparing and the zucchini stood no chance. These blades are by far the most amazing I have ever wielded. I look forward to using them for years to come.
