1001385 J. A. Henckels Pollux 7-Piece Block Set, Steel, Black, 28.0 cm*114.5 cm*11.0 cm

Not easy picking knives on line but I did a lot of research. I'd made the mistake of buying some Wustoff knives that had nasty cheap plastic handles, so wanting to be be sure this time around. Well these knives are the business, nicely weighted, razor sharp and comfortably shaped handles. But the best thing about this set, apart from the superb quality, is that they are the right mix of sizes for everyday use. So many sets have too many long knives and too few small/medium knives. This set doesn't have a lot of knives but they are exactly the ones you need. Just two things to be aware of, the block is angled at about 45o and hence does protrude a bit across the worktop and the handle of the sharpening steel is not Henkel branded (different to the one shown in the graphic). Overall, this is an amazing value set of knives that look and function of professional quality.

I really love them and the price is a real bargain, the sum of the prices of each item would be more than double. The quality of Zwilling is well known, the handles are much ergonomic, the knives are light but well balanced and their sharpness and sturdiness are just perfect. The sharpener steel is much better quality than I expected. I bought many knives and many of them were Zwilling, but by far this is the best purchase I've done. I totally recommend them.

Excellent knives with a high quality wooden block. Bought when half price so I landed myself an absolute bargain! The best knives I’ve ever owned

The sharpest knives that I have owned... great quality, and for the price, very highly recommended. Admittedly I have not spent more than £50.00 before now on a set of knives but this really proves you get what you pay for.

Item is full set 7 knives with blocks, unfortunately I only received block only, what happened there ?

Appears to be a good product but not as good as it would if made in DE

Sharp and good-looking knives. The knife block feels solid and looks good. I also have a set of Global knives and would say they are similarly sharp

I saw the top review and decided these would be a perfect gift for my husband who is a bit keen in the kitchen. Despite him knowing how sharp they are and knowing correct knife technique he is still getting through plasters quicker than an Aldi checkout person at home time. Poor value for money on account that I now have to buy all fruit and vegetables pre-chopped as all these finger plasters are making it difficult to be intimate.
