This is a great way to get three knife profiles that you'll need in any home kitchen. The chef's knife will tackle most of your cutting jobs from fruits and vegetable to meats. The serrated prep knife will be your go-to blade for citrus, tomatoes, sandwiches, rolls and bread while the paring knife helps with all your small tasks like peeling and removing strawberry stems. Four star knives are popular because they are forged from specially formulated steel to be corrosion resistant but hard enough to retain their razor sharp cutting edge use after use. The molded handles are really comfortable and nonslip.

I love these starter sets for so many reasons - they give you exactly what you want and need to start making any dishes in the kitchen, they are compact and show you do not need a lot of knives to make many dishes, the price is great for the quality and knives you get - much better than buying separately. The Four Star knives are the top-of-the-line from Zwilling and their best-seller! I can see why - Friodur process, so stays sharp, durable and rust and chip free for the life of the knives. Great full, straight bolster, so no finger fatigue and give a good grip with comfort. Also perfect for a wedding gift or for the gourmet chef!

It says it in the name, this is an essential knife set. What a great way to start your cutlery journey with these three amazing Four Stay blades! The chef's knife is the workhorse in the kitchen and can get almost any job done. Utilize the serrated utility knife for foods with tough exteriors and soft interiors and the paring knife for smaller cuts. Each handle is comfortable to grip and the German steel blades stay sharp for a long time. Get this set! You won't regret it.

Awesome Quality, Awesome Set

Three essential knives that can perform most cutting task to fix any meal. The chef knife for chopping fruits and vegetables, or slicing meat; the serrated utility can tackle anything hard on the outside and soft on the inside such as tomato, rolls, or baguettes; and the parer can take care of all those small, "in hand" tasks.Four Star is an amazing knife line that they've been making in Germany for over 40 years. It's forged from high carbon German steel so it has a great weight and balance as well as an incredibly sharp blade that holds the edge really well. The molded handle is lighter than the three rivet knives and is super comfortable. Just like all their forged knives made in Germany, they're going to last a lifetime.

Such a great set!

A great starter set for new homeowners, recent college grads or if you just want the essentials.

A great set to build a knife collection or to have a couple key blades in your kitchen.

[Rewarded Review] Best. Knives. Ever.

I received the Filleting Knife as a gift. As my "knife collection" needed updating, I decided to go with the Henckles line. So glad I did! The knives not only work beautifully, but have a timeless, classic look that would look fantastic in any kitchen. I now have 6 Henckles knives in my collection and I will be adding more ever time. Simply the best knives!

[Rewarded Review] Great knives

Excellent set. I prefer these even over the knives with riveted handles for day to day use. I use my knives almost every day, and as such they get washed every day; sometimes multiple times. The construction is conducive to a long life.Well balanced, great hand feel, and ergonomically proper.
