ZWILLING Pro 4.5-Inch Steak Knife Set of 4

Awesome knives. We had a set of these steak knives and wanted more for family dinners. Very sharp, look great, feel good in your had and very durable

These are great steak knives and wonderfully sharp out of the box. Time will tell how long they stay sharp and how easy it will be to keep them sharp. I've used them on a variety of foods and they performed flawlessly. They live in my travel trailer so I will need to purchase more for my home as well.

I was hesitant to pay $50 per knife but decided it was necessary. You definitely can tell the difference between Henckles we had previously and these. Zwilling made in Germany vs Henckles made in China. The Henckles tarnished quickly. There is one Zwilling that started tarnishing and the tip barely bent dropping in the sink and left overnight I assume. Normally all are washed and dried by hand.

Great quality blade and well designed handle

These knives are top quality and very sharp, I think they are expensive, but you get want you pay for, and at this price you would expect that you are getting quality, Well they will not disappoint you. I highly recommend.

Knives are very expensive, should be sharper than a Hecklel paring knife from an older set that cost 1/2 as much as these 4 knives cost. All 4 knives are no sharper then a cheap steak knife from Walmart. Extremely disappointed. Will start buying Japanese knives in the future. Heckle has lost it.

We did a little at-home testing between these knives, some "typical" steak knives that you might buy at a big-box store, and a set of Calaphon Katana knives. There is no comparison--the Zwilling Pros are significantly better. They cut smoothly and have great balance; very solid in the hand. No need for a serrated edge! They are also much more expensive than the other options. I had hoped for more from the Katanas with their blended design and cool look, but they were not a close second, coming in nearer to the big-box option than the Zwillings. The Zwillings have elegant clean lines, are easy to clean, and appear to be perfectly crafted to perform their intended function. Truly impressive implements, if you want to spend the $$$. ****UPDATE a year later. We have been using these knives for the past year and continue to be impressed. I am keeping them in a wood block and have a sharpener, but I have not had to use it yet. We eat a meal where we can use these knives a couple of times a month, and they have been consistently good.

Everything about these knifes are so much better than our Cutco steak knives. The quality can be seen and felt when holding the knife. The handle is comfortable and the blade feels sturdy and sharp. I am going to start replacing all of knives with Zwilling Pro.
