[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received some Zwilling-Henkel knives 30 years ago as a wedding gift. One recently broke so I bought this series to update. I thought my old knives were Twin-Signature as well. The new knives however are not nearly as sturdy and built with much less steel. The handles are too light. I am skeptical these will last as long. I'm not sure if I am comparing the same knives but I miss the quality of the old ones.

My Husband Bought this for me last year and it?s still very Sharp I love my knife set. With the proper care it will last. I?m very happy. it was Worth every dollar.

#1 - I would prefer you customize the block to the knives provided. If you want to leave one or two slots additional, which I assume is a cost-savings mechanism for Zwilling, do so after providing properly fitted slots for the knives provided. For a nice knife set, especially of German origin, it is frustrating that the block is too loose fitting for the knives & accessories! #2 - For a set that includes 9 steak knives, a boning knife would be a nice and expected complement, more so than an extra steak knife. #3 - Include a photo looking straight onto the block so that it is not so deceiving how the knives truly fit into the block.

We bought our knives and have been pleased and impressed with their quality. After we learned how to maintain them the hold a good edge and easily touch up with the included steel.
