This set is completed with a 9-inch honing steel and kitchen shears, and is housed in a 20-slot knife block.

Classic design & lifetime qualityProfessional S is terrific line of knives. They feature a traditional straight bolster and a slightly smaller handle. As a result they are a little lighter than the new Pro line. I have owned one of these knives for years (more than 10). It has performed year in and year out, and I cook a lot. I sharpen it maybe twice a year. I always hand-wash all my knives, even though they are dishwasher safe; that's probably why mine looks almost new.
This set has every knife a person would need for a long, long time. The only thing it's missing is a carving set for the holidays. Maybe a 7" filleting knife if you like to prep your own fish.

Knives are Awesome! Block - not so much!The knives are what I expected - sharp, well, balanced, and a pleasure to use. The block; however, literally ruins the visual appeal of the knives as it is the equivalent of a one-size-fits-all form letter. I have no idea what knives go where (except the steak knives) in the block or what knives go in the 2 empty spaces. One slot looks cut for a veggie cleaver, but not sure.
Overall, a bit disappointed with the block as the knives look disheveled. I was expecting more of a custom designed block to give a more refined…and organized appearance.
The shape and color of the block are nice.
Put a bit more effort into the block!

Great knives, non-matching blockThe knives were packaged very well. They are super sharp and ready for work as soon as they arrive. They are of very high quality steel and construction. They feel very comfortable in your hand and are easy to work with.
My only issue is with the included wood block. It is much lighter in color than in any pictures, I prefer darker. Also, you are left with a few empty slots after all included items are stowed in the block. That just seems odd to include a block that does not property fit the amount of knives you purchased. And the knife slots are in no way matching to the knives in the set. The knives are made in Germany but the block is made in China. You decide.

Good Knives for the moneyI ordered this set because it had 18 knives and I needed different carving knives. The smaller sets only had one Carving knife and 6-8 table steak knives. At first, I thought this was a good deal, but as I looked closer I discovered first, that the knives were made in India, not Germany. It is stamped right on the knives. The knives are very thin compared to the better sets that are actually made in Germany. Just Cheap junk made in India. My first Review I gave these knives a 1 Star but they refused to post it and got back to me saying the knives were made in Germany, so they sell junk and lie. I would not recommend this manufacturer, just cheap junk.

Must have for anyone who enjoys cookingMy wife and I had a collection of knives from a box store and got by just fine. We started talking about upgrading to a professional group of knives because our old collection wasn't cutting the mustard for the amount of cooking we were doing while home and not going to restaurants. This collection came up, and we went to William Sonoma to test them out and fell in love. Two days into using our new collection and we can't imagine cooking without them and are disappointed in ourselves that we hadn't purchased them sooner. Great price and perfect collection to move anyone into a better cooking experience. Thank you.

Overpriced and just OKThe set is exactly that.. OK. I was looking forward to superb quality of a complete set. But I was disappointed to find that although everything (but the fine print) says Made in Germany, a lot of it is not.
Also, for the price, I expected to block to properly fit the knives. But instead it looks like a mismatched set just thrown together on my counter. Disappointed to say the least.

I like that the 3 smaller knives are knives that are used quite often in the kitchen. Not a lot of blocks carry this configuration and this one is impressive. Every knife in this block is a knife you would most likely buy on its own because they are used that often. Great value with German steel and made in Germany. The block has a couple extra slots so if you find another knife you can't do without, you will have room to store them in your block.

Good setExcited to receive my 18-pc professional S set. However, I was a little disappointment to find that the steak knives are “Twin Gourmet”, not “Professional S”, and are actually half serrated, half straight, and not completely straight as the photos would indicate.
Are the steak knives really not Professional S but Twin Gourmet? The picture of the knives shows Professional S and I cannot find anything in the description on this page that says the company substituted much lower quality knifes.

How many/which slots are empty in this block and what knives from this series are recommended as would fit best in them based on size?
Asked by: MajorLuigi
There will be two empty slots with this set. It is difficult to recommend additional knives for this set for two reasons. First, this set includes many knives, there will be very few tasks that this set does not cover. Second, everybody cooks differently and has different preferences. For some a fillet knife may be a good addition, for others a prep knife might get more use. We recommend using the set for a little while, then any knives that you fell are missing (if any) will become apparent.
