      @@kenroman777 Henckels = ZWILLING J.A. Henckels AG and they sell knifes under the brands ZWILLING, HENCKELS *) and MIYABI
      And what's about HENCKELS, you don't buy it!
      When you look into the specifications you find nothing informative, like Blade hardness (HRC): 55-58 HRC, you find this when you look for ZWILLING PRO or ZWILLING Professional S. Well there will be a reason why they don't tell you. There are fewer variations of knifes you could get. And there might also be a reason why this stuff is so cheap.
      A good knife you buy once, cheap knives you buy again and again.
      BTW I would look for ZWILLING PRO not for ZWILLING Professional S, why if you want to sharpen your knifes yourself regularly and for a long time a full bolster is not what you want.
      *) They don't even sell this stuff in their home market, and the website is www.zwilling.com/ not something with henckels.

    I recently bought a full set of K Sabatier knives. I just love them. With a lover weight, they just become an extension of your hand. I also like that they are forged in one piece. Many other knives are composed of a blade, a bolster and a tang made of different steels that are welded together

    In my opinion the knife every one needs is a “ windmühlenmesser”( “ Klassiker, Benelux, Gemüse Messer” ) from Robert Herder from the German town; Solingen. It is a small kitchen knife. Always choose the high carbon version. It stays forever sharp because of the thin blade. It is a must have. Costs about 17€. Almost every family in the Netherlands and Germany have one in the drawer.

    Nice overview. One day, I’d like to own a set of Zwilling Pro or Professional S knives. Meanwhile I’m very happy with my recent purchase of the Spanish made Henckles Classic knives that are about as close to the Zwilling Professional S line I can find without the Friodur ice hardening. As a result, the Spanish made knives are closer to Victorianox prices but retain Zwilling’s fully forged forged tang, German steel, and classic handle design. If not for one of your other excellent videos, I may have completely overlooked the Henckles Classic. A truly excellent Knife that I truly believe could be your top pick for kitchen knives made in Spain.

    I have a lot of different knives, and brands of knives. They include Zwilling, Victorinox, Wusthof, and Enso Japanese knives. If there's no bone in what I'm cutting I always reach for an Enso. Treated properly, these knives stay sharp a long time. They are nimble. They become a part of my hand. Whatever cutting operation i'm performing I do it better with the Enso Japanese knife. I also have one Shun, an 8" chef's. I prefer the feel of the Enso. Enso is not expensive, and I've stopped using everything else since acquiring them.

    My late mother had an antique carving knife from Sheffield, my wife lost it catering a local event, I replaced it with a 1840's knife from Thomas Turner Suffolk Works in Sheffield which I bought on Ebay from America. As such given the historical importance of Sheffield I surprised Sheffield didn't feature. I have some excellent knives full tang and bolster from Samuel Staniford T/A Smithfield Professional which can only be bought directly from their factory outlet o online.
    However as I'm in Ireland and the UK has left the EU, with double taxation I now buy online from K Sabatier in Thiers and I'm vey happy with them. K Sabatier also sell a paring knife from Goyen-Chazeau Le P'tit Tadi hand made with ebony handles using Sandvic 14C28N steel at a very reasonable prices.

    I bought a set of Wusthof knives over 20 years ago and I still have them and use them regularly. I have taken good care of them and they've taken good care of my food. America's Test Kitchen also recommended the Victorinox knives and I bought two of their chef's knives and I love them. They are lighter and have a more comfortable handle than the Wusthofs. They're very good knives at a great price. I am looking for a good Japanese knife, though, to add to my collection. I'll avoid knives made in China whenever possible.

    I bought three carbon steel knives from K Sabatier about half a decade ago. It's a different style from both the German and Japanese styles, the blades have less width relative to their length compared to both other styles and the blade thickness is in-between the thickness of German and Japanese style knives. The selection I bought are absolutely fantastic knives that will probably outlive me (them being carbon steel knives means a bit more maintenance, but their regular knives are also fantastic from the feedback I got from friends and family whom I bought some for as gifts after I got my carbon steel ones).

I'm not so worried about damaging the K-Sabatier as it's a bit cheaper, but at this point I'm not certain I can damage it considering all the abuse I've put it through, I mean, it's been dropped and has landed on its tip many times, still has its tip, no chips, it's fully intact.

    Sabatier is pronounced Suh-bah-tee-ay. My mother swore by them so we had a variety of them in the house - mostly paring knives. But they were always the sharpest knives in the house by far.

    In our case, she was right.

    I won't have a chef's knife that has a full bolster--clumsy to sharpen and reduces utility in pull-cutting. So I vote for the Zwilling Pro line (NOT the 'S'). Half bolster? Yes! And note the smooth, gently tapered transition from blade to bolster--very comfortable and easy on the hands. (Misen claims to have invented this and says its 'unique.' Yeah, sure. My Zwilling Pro had this before Misen was born.)
