Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature Stainless-Steel 11-Piece Knife Set with Block
Customer Review: I have only 3 complaints...
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought a set like that at Macy's (the only difference is that I had 4 regular knives instead of 3 mid-size steak knives in the set), there it is called "Zwilling J.A. Henckels TWIN Signature 12-Piece Cutlery Block Set". It is exact same one except for 3 steak knives have been replaces with 4 normal ones. The knives were really sharp when they arrived and I liked them at first. However, I changed my mind because of the three reasons below:
1) I tried making a hole in a can of "Dole" pineapple juice by pointing the tip of the knife against the can and lightly hitting the handle from above by another hand (I used to do this all the time with a cheap knives set under the name of "Ginsu" I used to own with no problems, it is sold at amazon here: Ginsu 4817 International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Natural). Anyway, in the process of opening the can the tip of the knife got bent. I am not an expert but I used to think that good knives made of quality steel should never bend, they may break, but bending is something they are not supposed to ever do.
2) My second complaint is that the quality of the brick is inferior to that same "Ginsu" set I used to own. I have uploaded some photos I have taken showing the imperfections I am talking about. My major complaint is that there is an obvious slit between the main and the front wooden pieces. In addition, if the brick is turned upside down, it is not perfect either with all the leftover wooden pieces.
3) After about 2 months of using the set there are light traces of rust on the scissors. No rust on any knives, only the scissors are affected. I can't take a close up picture with my cell phone to show that but I will get hold of a suitable camera to take some pictures and will be back here to upload them.
While maybe can opening is something these particular knives were not designed to do, but the obviously crappy quality of the block and the rust on the scissors is beyond my comprehension taking into account the brand name and the price range of the set. Henckels should be ashamed.

Description of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature Stainless-Steel 11-Piece Knife Set with Block
J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 11pc Block Set contains the following: 2 1/2-inch Peeler, 4-inch Parer, 5-inch Serrated Utility, 6-inch Utility, 8-inch Chef's, 7-inch Hollow Edge Santoku, 8-inch Bread, 4 1/2-inch Steak, Kitchen Shears, 9-inch Steel, HardwoodThis knife block set carries a useful assortment of standard knives for outfitting a kitchen. The set includes a 2-1/2-inch peeling knife, a 4-inch paring knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 6-inch utility knife, and an 8-inch chef's knife, as well as a 7-inch hollow-edge santoku, an 8-inch bread knife, and a 4-1/2-inch steak knife. A 9-inch sharpening steel keeps their edges in order, and a pair of kitchen shears to snip herbs, flowers, or string is also included. Everything stores neatly in the attractive natural hardwood block.
The knives feature high-carbon, stainless-steel blades that have been stamped from one piece of metal. The edge is cut by laser for a more consistent angle on the blade and hand-honed for sharpness. Blades have also undergone Henckels's Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens them and protects from discoloration. The ergonomically designed traditional-style polymer handles are securely fastened to the balanced full tangs with three rivets. Handles seamlessly encase the tangs on these knives so no food particles can ever become trapped in a gap. Twin Signature knives are all dishwasher-safe (although Henckels recommends washing by hand) and are covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
