J.A. Henckels produces a number of different cutlery lines--all of exceptional quality. The professional "S" line, one of its most popular, features the classic black handle with three-rivet styling. These knives are extremely sharp, well balanced, and sturdy.

The blades are made from high-carbon, no-stain steel that has been ice-hardened for added strength. A special steel alloy combines the best feature of carbon (for a superior cutting edge) and chromium (for stainless beauty). The solid steel blade extends all the way through the handle.

For all their strength, the knives are surprisingly lightweight, so your arm won't tire during lengthier cutting chores. The 9-piece knife block set comes with a 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated/utility knife, 6-inch utility/sandwich knife, 8-inch Chef's knife, 8-inch carving knife, 8-inch bread knife, 9-inch sharpening steel, kitchen shears, and hardwood block with six extra slots to hold steak knives.

The paring knife, a staple kitchen tool, is one of the most frequently used, along with the Chef's knife. All of the Henckels knives have a laser-cut edge that is sharp enough to cut paper thin tomato slices, and strong enough to cut through hard watermelon or pineapple rinds. The serrated edge knives are ideal for crusty breads.

The J.A. Henckels Professional "S" 9-piece Block Set 35650-000 knives require minimal care and will provide years of reliable use.
