The block is nice looking , has a couple of extra slots to add more knives. So glad I treated myself to this amazing set.! Review: Henckels knifes - understand the difference between ZWILLING, J.A. HENCKELS, TWIN, Forged, Stamped, etc. - The J.A. Henckels line of knives is one of the ‘all time’ most confusing products to purchase - too many options. Hopefully what I’ve learned will help others. There are two main product lines. The high end products names all begin with the word ‘ZWILLING’, and may or may-not contain ‘J.A. HENCKELS’. All ZWILLING knives will also have the iconic ‘Twin’ logo, showing TWO stick figures, on each knife and the block. Zwilling actually means ‘Twin(s)’ in German. If you don’t see the Twins logo, it is not one of their top knife products. The high end knives are often referred to as Twin(s). The knives in this review are often called ‘Pro Twin S’. The ‘Zwilling’ knives are all made in Germany, and are sold in high end stores like Williams Sonoma. The economy knives, made in many countries including Spain, are labeled J.A. Henckels (without Zwilling) AND the logo has only one stick figure. These are often found in box stores like Costco. These knives are also used a lot in very large sets. FORGED vs STAMPED Of course it’s not this simple - you should also consider Forged vs Stamped manufacturing. FORGED knives are pounded and produce a harder steel and hold their edge longer. A harder steel is more difficult to sharpen, but it will hold the sharp edge longer (requires sharpening less frequently). STAMPED knives are simply cut out from a piece of metal. The best knives all seem to be forged. You can usually tell a forged knife by the ‘bolster’ or the large, thick piece of steel between the handle and the knife blade. Be aware the two product lines meet or overlap slightly. The economy line has a forged knife (J.A. Henckels International forged knife), and the high end has a stamped knife (Zwilling Signature). One last KEY PIECE of ADVICE, don’t assume the costlier knife is of higher quality. There are promos on different product lines all the time. For additional information, I recommend going to the manufactures web site at: Zwillingonline.com, see ‘Shop by Brand’ under the ’Cutlery Tab’. I love the Pro Twin S set I purchased, but I wish I had this info when I purchased my first set years ago. Proper care is key to maintaining quality knives. A quality dull knife cuts no better than a dull cheap one. ## Features - SET INCLUDES: 3-inch Paring Knife, 5-inch Serrated Utility Knife, 5-inch Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, 8-inch Chef's Knife, and Kitchen Shears - RESILIENT BLADES: Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade starts sharper stays sharper longer and has superior resilience - BALANCED KNIVES: Ergonomic polymer three rivet handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang - RETAINS SHARP EDGES: Edge angle 15 degree on each side (10 degree on Santoku’s) - PERFECT GIFT: Lifetime warranty against defects - EASY CLEAN UP: Dishwasher Safe; hand washing recommended ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005K8P8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #218,132 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #523 in Block Knife Sets | | Blade Edge | Fine | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Brand | ZWILLING | | Brand Name | ZWILLING | | Color | Black/Stainless Steel | | Construction Type | Bonded | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 232 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00035886157616 | | Handle Material | Wood | | Included Components | 3" Parer; 5" Serrated Utility; 5" HE Santoku; 8" Chef; Kitchen Shears; 9" Sharpening Steel; 10-Slot Birchwood Block | | Item Dimensions | 10 x 5.5 x 17 inches | | Item Length | 17 inches | | Item Type Name | Knife Block Set | | Item Weight | 7.8 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 10 x 5.5 x 17 inches | | Manufacturer | ZWILLING | | Manufacturer Part Number | 35666-000 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects | | Model Number | 35666-000 | | Set Name | Professional S | | Style | Classic,Ergonomic,Professional | | Style Name | Classic,Ergonomic,Professional | | UPC | 035886157616 | | Unit Count | 7 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Fine - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** ZWILLING - **Color:** Black/Stainless Steel - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 16.8 x 10 x 5.4 inches ## Images ![Professional S 7-Pc Knife Set, Friodur Ice-Hardened Blades - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PRa5DlNCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Which steak knives would you recommend to go with this set?** A: Any of the followings sets would look at home as a companion set:Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet ~ $50/4 same shape no bolster Spain 39123-000Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet ~ $90/8 same shape no bolster Spain 39123-800Zwilling J.A. Henckels Professional S ~ $200/4 same shape full bolster Germany 39188-000J.A. Henckels International Classic forged ~ $100/4 same shape full bolster Spain 39360-000Be aware that they are sold only in multiples of 4 as sets, and you have 6 spaces. I have paring knives etc. in those slots and I keep the steak knives in the flatware drawer.Of course; the Pro S would be my choice if I had a budget for them at $50 ea but, I prefer the International classic for the price $25 ea and, it's nearly identical to the pro S, except for its country of origin and a couple of minor tech details.ie. blade angle and hardness.The twinn Gourmet knives have the same shape but, without a full bolster. They are stamped and, not forged but, they're cute and if you keep 'em in a drawer... who cares. At $12 you can buy all 6 and 2 spares for $90. And they'll look at home in your block. Now... If you ever invite MY mother-in-law to dinner...Hope this helps. **Q: Is the block color pretty accurate here online? I did not want the lighter color wood..** A: Just held the iPad up to the block I have and my block color is lighter than that picture.Hope this helps. **Q: are the kitchen shears and the sharpening steel made by zwilling Henckels as well?** A: Yes. I went and checking the markings on both of mine and they are both stamped with Zwilling J.A. Henckels mark. **Q: Is there an extra slot with the 7 piece set, and if so, would the professional zwilling j.a. henckels 8 inch bread knife fit into it?** A: This set includes a 16-slot block, so there will be several empty slots. One of the uppermost slots will fit an 8" bread knife. However, this block is designed to fit Professional "S" and other Zwilling/Twin knives. Pro style knives with the arched bolster will not fit properly and require Pro style blocks as well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SHARP!! *by J***. on October 29, 2025* These knives are great.
