J.A. Henckels International Forged Premio 19 piece Knife Set with Cherry Block Review

Having been a professional chef for over 20 years, I have had the privilege of working with some of the best knives money can buy. That being said, when I got the chance to try out the ZWILLING Forged Premio 19 piece Knife Set with Cherry Block I was more than excited to put it to the test. And what I found was a knife set that is as good as any top of the line kitchen knife set on the market.

The first thing I noticed when I took out the knives from their wood block was how well crafted they are. The blades are made of stainless steel and feature a fully forged design that gives them great balance and edge retention. The handles are triple riveted for added durability and feature a full tang construction for optimal performance. And to top it all off, each handle has a stainless steel end cap for added style.

The second thing that impressed me about this set was how complete it is. It comes with 3 Paring Knife, 3 Hollow Edge Paring Knife, 5 Serrated Utility Knife, 5.5 Boning Knife, 6 Utility Knife, 7 Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, 8 Bread Knife, 8 Chefs Knife, Eight 4.5 Stamped Serrated Steak Knives, 9 Sharpening Steel, Kitchen Shears and an 18 slot Wood Knife Block with Cherry Finish. This means you ll have all the essential tools you need to prepare any dish in your kitchen.

Moving on to performance, I have to say that these knives perform like a dream in the kitchen. The blades are sharp right out of the box and hold their edge through even tough tasks like chopping vegetables or slicing meats. The handles provide excellent grip and make cutting effortless while also providing comfort during use. And finally, the wood block looks great in any kitchen setting adding a touch of sophistication to your workspace.

The ZWILLING Forged Premio 19 piece Knife Set with Cherry Block is perfect for any home chef or professional who wants a complete set of quality kitchen knives without breaking the bank. Whether you re preparing dinner for two or prepping for a dinner party this set will provide you with everything you need for all your culinary needs.
