ZWILLING TWIN Signature Knife Block Set, 19-pc, Light Brown

I had never had an actual knife set before that wasn't frankensteined together so I decided to splurge and pulled the trigger on this set. Well worth it! It was well packaged and arrived on time. The knives were very very sharp! In fact, I told my teenage son, who was cooking our Christmas prime rib and slicing it, to be care as the knives are very sharp. He ended up cutting himself two times (small cuts) that evening while using these knives. Three years later they still look new. I recently sharpened them using the Ken Onion workshop and they are just as sharp as they day they arrived. The only neutral thing I can say is when I opened the box there were 18 tools which confused me. Turns out they consider the block a "piece". Three years later no rust and still glad I bought this.

First thing first, I have done a lot of research on block sets as I have been looking for quite a while to make sure we make an informed decision for our home. From reviews, hunting in stores (for what we could actually see physically), word of mouth and manufacturer details, I really feel we made a good pick here.Pros --My god don't cut yourself, these things are sharp. After cutting through the fatty end of a grilled strip steak like it wasn't even there, I had to warn the kid not to kill herself. Seriously, they are sharp. Yes, we had a less than average set to begin with and that does affect the impression but these did not let my expectations down.- Quality - You get what you pay for, simple as that. When I handled the three I used, steak knife, bread and Santoku, you can just feel how well they are put together. The handle was more comfortable than I thought it would be and nicer looking in hand. My wife really wanted the handle like Henkels International but we really like this. The blade is slightly flexible like some have said but my god, what are some people expecting for a set at $329 dollars? It is not like they are so flexible to be anything negative in my opinion and I think the drama queens need to slow down on that one. When I put pressure on the blade, I didn't get anything crazy regarding blade movement.First impression is nice, we will see where it ends up after some real use.Small cons-It would have been nice to have some variance in the block color. Sure, we can stain it something else but why not just offer it as an option?-We kept the slips for all the knives to keep part numbers, just in case we wanted to add some more steak knives for those party nights. Why no documentation explaining what you have? We cut the list off the box as well to make sure we never lost track. Yes, you can also look at the knives as the part number is there but not if that knife disappears magically.-The block has the extra slot for a cleaver and that we like, but there doesn't seem to be a spot for the pearing knife. I would rather not keep a quality knife rattling around in a drawer that people open and slam. Protect the investment.Overall, good product for the money. I would tell others to buy these, but I don't feel I will have to after they use ours.

While everything with the product turns out to be correct, and really great to work with - I had initial concerns due to: 1) poor internal packaging, and 2) "redundant" knifes.Upon first opening the Zwilling box, things were not organized well inside the box and had obviously moved around - at first, suggesting it had been tampered with. In the end, it seems that it was just not packaged well, and during shipping, the internal boxes had "floated" around inside. Having a large wooden block does not help with this.Then when laying out the knifes, it at first seemed that there had been some mixup with what was sent - as there were 9 of the steak knifes (which again, raised the possibility of tampering). However, after doing a spot check of knifes, it turns out that the same model knife presented as a steak knife, was also presented as a vegetable prep knife. So once again - all was well - just not straight forward.Final comment - once I got passed the the perceived issues with the packaging, and the actual knifes sent, I love the final product.

Check the knives carefully. The twin signature knives are quite good. However, in the 19 pc set we received the 7 inch knife was not a twin signature; it was a single. Unfortunately we did not notice it for a year as we rarely used the 7 inch knife. See photo attached. As you can see the knife on the far left is NOT a twin signature henckle but but rather a single.

Purchased for my better half as a gift. This set was VERY well packaged and arrived in perfect condition (including the product box). All the blades are EXTREMELY sharp. Use caution when handling these, you don’t want them to mistake your finger for a sausage. The handles are also perfect, and the whole set is quite attractive. Has the look and feel of a very high quality product. The blades are all full tang, and triple riveted through the handles. So sharp the blades glide through whatever you’re slicing. I would buy these again without hesitation, and recommend to anyone considering a quality knife set.

We purchased this to replace an old Cutco knife set. Looked at a lot and read reviews both on and off Amazon.Purchased this set and it is really well made. Very sharp, cuts like a fine knife set should.This is a beautiful set and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a top quality set.
