Professional "s" knives are the classic choice for the professional kitchen. These knives are made of a proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected over 280 years. Combined with Zwilling's signature ice-hardening technique, the Friodur blades are harder, sharper, and more resistant to staining, chipping, and loss of sharpness. Honed and hand-finished by skilled artisans, the knives' laser-controlled edges are incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these three-rivet handle knives deliver optimal balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives.

This set provides a cook with a variety of cutting edges and a solid hardwood block for storage. The set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, a 5-inch hollow-edge santoku, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, and a 3-inch paring knife. A 9-inch sharpening steel keeps the edges in order, and a pair of kitchen shears for snipping herbs, flowers, or string is also included. The attractive natural hardwood block neatly stores the entire set.

The classic three-rivet handles distinguish the Pro S knives from Henckels' other quality offerings. This makes the Pro S handles heavier, and the knives less weight-forward. The handles are also smaller, which may be appreciated by those with smaller hands. Except for the fully forged blades less than 6 inches long, such as the paring and utility knives in this set, the blades and bolsters of Henckels' first-rate cutlery lines are formed by a high-tech welding process that combines three high-carbon, stainless-steel types into what appears to be a single piece, giving each knife's parts distinct, desirable characteristics. All pieces in the set carry a lifetime warranty against defects.

The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series is renowned for its trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling, making it a favorite among both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chef's, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets to ensure your cutlery needs are covered.

The Twin Pro S knives are precision-forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. This results in improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, enhancing cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. Additionally, the Twin Pro S knives use Henckels' Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, further contributing to cutting-edge retention.

The comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design of the Twin Pro S knives won't wear against the hand and helps provide control during any cutting task. These durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife for stability and durability. The impeccably balanced super bolster provides weight and adds balance for safer and more professional cutting.
