ZWILLING 4-pc Stainless Steel Serrated Steak Knife Set

Beautiful knives. I have two sets of 8. It’s a small thing, but the name is on the proper side of the knife so when you put it down with blade facing away from the plate, the engraved name isn’t showing. (I know, it’s a very small thing.). They are easy to use and cut well.

We've had a set of four of these for many years, they seem to last forever. We needed four more, and I was very pleased to find them on Amazon. They're pretty expensive but beautifully made and super sharp. Based on my experience with my previous set, these will last a lifetime and probably never need sharpening. Highly recommended A small nit is the package they come in, a "box" formed from folded thin transparent plastic sheet. I use that box to store the knives when not in use, and the box really starts to fall apart after a while - the folds fatigue and crack. A cardboard box would be more robust. Yeah I guess I should find a classier storage method but I've never felt like spending time on that. So every time we use the knives we deal with the box that's falling apart. First world problems.......

Nice and heavy. Feels like great quality. No flimsy stuff here. Nice and sturdy.

Beautiful quality steak knives. Will add elegance to dining room table. Theses are very sharp knives and cut though steak nicely. The black presentation case is nice for safe storage.

I love the angle of the blade and the elegance of the "neck" of the blade. This is one piece of metal per knife. The crisp line between the handle and neck is real, not illusion, but it's not a joint either -- it's protruding, not recessed. These are extremely sharp! Watch your fingers. I think these look great as steak knives along with silverware such as "J.A. Henckels 45pc Bellasera Flatware Set" which has a similar angle to the main axis of the blades. EDIT: I bought a second set, from the same Amazon webpage, confirmed by purchase history, manually locating my review on the associated reviews page, and by having to edit this review, not being able to leave a new review. I establish this so firmly because the second set is not the same as the first! (I'll describe the difference in the next paragraph.) I don't know if this difference is the fault of Amazon mixing up model numbers or if Henckels quality control for different production facilities of the same model is different, but it's NOT a very subtle difference and it's disappointing. I know someone else who got a set around the same time as I got my second set, and his is the same design as my second set, so I believe the style of my second set is the one you will probably receive. Inconsistency of style is why this review has dropped from 5 stars to 4 stars. Normally that would cause a drop down to 1 or 2 stars, but these are just such darn nice knives that I suspect there is a model number difference and Amazon is at fault rather than manufacturing inconsistency. The second set is high-quality craftsmanship just like the first and identical upon cursory inspection except that the second set has a rounded tip. The tip is not as rounded as a butter knife, but it is distinctly rounded when compared to the first set. The tip of the first set is nearly a perfect triangle which is still pictured on the product page as of 24-Nov-2011. Both sets are elegant and well-balanced but the wicked throwing knife look of the first set is replaced by a stylish but domestic look in the second set due to the rounded tip, which may improve or ruin the charm of this knife, depending on who you are. Other thoughts, having used them for quite some while now: I should mention that the elegance of form will probably have the negative side-effect of not fitting nicely in ham-fisted grips, by which I mean the grip of a large hand that lacks dexterity. One factor in that is the slightly small size. (The knife is more dense than usual plastic- or wood-handled steak knives, and is as heavy or heavier overall, and has a solid, strong, quality feel but some may incorrectly assess the knife as being light due to the slightly small size in a large hand. Another factor is the long choil (unsharpened blade where it meets the handle) which is fine for someone with reasonable dexterity, adult or kid so long as he/she is old enough to use a steak knife at all, but it doesn't offer much finger placement for the clumsy. The cutting action is by shallow serration, so it's like a cross between a serrated and non-serrated blade, and I think it's a wonderful balance. In my view, serrated blades will saw through tough cuts of meat with less hassle than non-serrated blades, and non-serrated blades will glide like butter through good cuts of meat with less hassle than serrated blades. I prefer serrated because I'd like to cut down on the hassle of the more hassling cut of meat rather than pretend I'm always going to buy and cook perfect cuts of meat perfectly. I think this shallow serration is even better though, offering relative ease with any cut. In summary, this knife is top-notch or merely decent, depending on who you are, and depending on which version you receive.

Very nice knives! I have 2 other sets, 2 well-known expensive brands, but these are much more elegant, shiny, and very sharp! I plan on selling one of my other sets!

It’s great knives ! I bought it is gift for my daughter

The knives are sharp and of good quality (made in Spain). The box is very poor quality - mine was warped and cracked. It is made in China. I would recommend the product if you are buying it to get the knives but I would not recommend it if you are buying it to give as a gift in the presentation box. I bought as a gift so I am a touch disappointed hence the 3 stars.

Not bad

Little hard to hold but nice set

Muy buen producto , de calidad

Have a heavier weight and are very well made! Look good!

Weighing in at 125g this is a well-balanced steak knife. Sits neatly in hand and cuts seamlessly. I’m a big fan. Elegant, simple, one-peace beauty.
