Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro Steak Knives 38430-002 , Set of 4



Brilliant knives–expensive, but a they provide a real difference

We did a little at-home testing between these knives, some "typical" steak knives that you might buy at a big-box store, and a set of Calaphon Katana knives. Their is no comparison–the Zwilling Pros are significantly better. They cut smoothly and have great balance; very solid in the hand.


They are also much more expensive than the other options. I had hoped for more from the Katanas with their blended design and cool look, but they were not a close second, coming in nearer to the big-box option than the Zwillings.


The Zwillings have elegant clean lines, are easy to clean, and appear to be perfectly crafted to perform their intended function. Truly impressive implements.

Masanobu VG-10 Sujihiki 10.5″ (27cm) – Right

Masanobu sujijiki 10.5 Great knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.

You have to be careful with these knives because once they start cutting they will slide through, so you have to have good control and positioning or will cut yourself. The bad is that the one 17cm utility knife I’m using came with a not so perfect blade though it’s still very sharp. It has like three tiny knicks that are hard to see. The blades are thinner then normal blades but I was hoping the material be harder then this. Another problem is that even after washing/drying the utility knife after every use there is a tiny spot on the blade with a small discoloration in the metal. I wonder if it was used for something it shouldn’t have been used for or maybe the crafting
