Great knives. Only drawback, if you can call it that, is that JA Henckels recommends not to wash the knives in the dishwasher. Which for the money, I dont need my dishwasher to ruin them. I LOVE these knives. Nothing has cut items better than these knives.
I decided I deserved some really good knives for my kitchen. I did my research and found that Henckels Pro S were top rated. I was not disappointed!
They look beautiful. They feel great in my hand. The balance is excellent. It is obvious everything about them is top quality. Knives should be sharp and stay sharp to be really useful and the Henckels are just that.
My only slight disappointment waa that, while they are declared diswasher safe, they recommend hand washing them - makes me nervous to put them in the dishwasher which I would have preferred since there is less chance of getting cut and the high water temperature is better for cleaning knives after cutting chicken, meat, etc.
I am very happy with this purchase and if I had it to do over again, I would once again choose Henckels.
