Henckels 8-pc. Pro S Cutlery Set

This 8-pc. set by Henckels features the popular Santoku knife, the Asian kitchen knife that's much like the American chef's knife only the Santoku has a hollow edge - the indentations along the blade help prevent sticking while slicing and cutting. This 8-pc. set includes 3-in. Paring Knife, 5-in. Utility Knife, 5-in. Serrated/Utility Knife, 5-in. Hollow Edge Santoku Knife, 8-in. Chef's Knife, 9-in. Sharpening Steel, Kitchen Shears and a Hardwood Storage Block with slots for steak knives. Made in Solingen, Germany, the Pro S knives are forged, not stamped. Blade density is improved using the FRIODUR ice-hardening process, which provides a sharper initial edge for easier maintenance over time. This knife, part of the Pro S series, is made of high-carbon stainless steel and precision-honed, with a laser-controlled edge, a balanced super-bolster and a tang that extends to the back of the polypropylene handle which is permanently bonded for seamless accuracy.
