Zwilling J.A. Henckels

I already had a set of these knives & wanted additional. These knives are sleek and light. Zappos offered the best price I could find & believe me, I looked around. Love these knives & love Zappos.com.

If it is true that this brand of non-stick does not emit toxic VOCs, then this is truly a wonderful find. The pans have perfect flat bottoms, are very heavy, and as smooth and slick as can be. Clean up is super easy. Be careful when stacking (I use a towel between pans) so as not to chip the finish, and use silicon or wood utensils, not metal or hard plastic. I found the 12" pan elsewhere online, but the 8" and 10" are a great price from Zappos, and very useful. I don't care for the color as in my opinion, blue doesn't set off foods that attractively, but that is a small price to pay for excellent non-stick pans. I find I'm using these slightly more than my pricey stainless skillets.

This is a really nice knife for thin carving and slicing. The only thing I might change on a slicing knife is to have the thickness of the blade pretty much uniform for the length of the knife - this one is very close, but my Japanese knife is perfect in this respect. I chose a Henckel 4 Star as it is what the rest of my chef's, boning and slicing knives are - the quality is very good, the other 4 Star knives I have have all been used commercially for a long time and are coming up on 30 years old...with the only marks being from normal wear and tear in that time.

I was surprised that the tang did not go through the handle. Other than that seems like excellent set. Was a Xmas gift.

These are great - extremely sharp. Less traditional look, which is great. Very comfortable handle.

This is the best non-stick pan that I have ever used. Do not use sprays such as Pam since they can harm the coating. This applies to all non-stick pans. I love this one! Do not put these pans in a dish washer!

This pan has a nice flat bottom for glass cooktops. Smooth stainless steel. Inside cleans very easily. Works great for eggs and kids grilled cheese. No teflon to worry about. Browns the grilled cheese evenly. I enjoy the pan. Has a nice weight to it as well. Not heavy and not light. Nicely made.

These knives rock! They are great quality, super sharp, and make prepping meals a lot of fun. The block they come with is nice and heavy. I would recommend this set to anyone who wants a great set of knives that doesn't have money to spend. Very happy with my purchase!

FYI, the 13th piece of the set is the block. I just bought this set and read some reviews on Amazon before I purchased it that said they only got 12 knives or it was missing 2 large knives. Well, they were counting the block that holds the knives as a piece and the block has 14 slots, so when you get it and put all the knives in, you will have two unused slots for large knives, unless you have other knives to place in it, which could be a good thing. Otherwise it looks slick and they're really sharp, but I don't know too much about kitchen knives.

Zappos has this listed as "Zwilling J.A. Henckels." This is incorrect. Premio is part of the much lower quality J.A. Henckels International line of products. These may be nicer than most common Wal-Mart Style knife sets, but they are nowhere near the quality one can expect from the Zwilling group. This may just be a pet peeve of mine, but this needs to be corrected. This is misleading and just flat wrong. The J.A. Henckels International has only one figure on the logo, while the much higher quality Zwilling products have two figures on the logo. That is the easiest way to tell at a glance whether you are getting quality, or simply paying for the name. Either way, the steel is good, the knives hold an edge well but the finish work is substandard. For such an expensive knife set, I would expect a lot more. I gave gone over several sets of these, and the quality just is not there. The steel and plastic on the grips do not line up well. The steel is not finished as smoothly as others in a similar price bracket. They will get the job done, but these are just another mass produced knife set. There are much better options for the money. Personally, I figure if you are going to spend this much money, you may as well get what your money's worth.

Very pleased with this item. Had been looking for one for a long time (most come with knives - didn't need those). Looks good and others in the family got used to using it right away. No more scrambling around in drawers!

Love the look of these steak knives. They function very well too. I've had a set of these for 10 years & needed more in order to entertain larger groups. The original set is still in great condition (looks & function). The stainless steel dresses up your table compared to a wooden or black steak knife and goes with stainless steel flatware nicely.

Best non-stick pan we have had. Very slippery, not rough like some others. Good medium weight. Handle stays fairly cool. Definitely recommend.

Great set. Scissors are all incredibly sharp and feel very well made. Garden sheers work well and the whole thing speaks of quality.

Excellent set of knives. Each knife was individually wrapped before delivering. Now I've got to fill the 4 extra slots!

These were a present for my daughter and she loves them. She lives out of town so I had mailed them to her and didn't open them before I sent them or was I there when she opened them. The 2 extra holes in the base gave her a scare, she thought 2 knives were missing. Other than that she likes them. They arrived on time for me to get them to her.

Just perfect in every way! Holds many knives in various sizes. One of my favorite purchases ever! Very reasonably priced, well-made, too!

The block is very heavy which is good, however, the block is big so consider counter space when buying.

Great knife I never had better knife than this one. It's razor sharp and has comfortable handle. Peace of the best knives in the world.

A knife that changed my kitchen experience. Cuts any bread, fruit or vegetable that requires a nice slice while applying very little pressure. It's more expensive than most, but it is well worth it. Fantastic product!
