Quote from CoolKestrel1061 :
I was recently educated that most Americans want German steel over Japanese steel, as we typically need thicker blades.
That would be the style of knife not the mnf origin. a 2mm thick blade in Germany, is also a 2mm thick blade in japan. Japan and Germany are considered equals as far as quality.

Yeah, I was about to buy a single Henckels for $80 and seen this pop up on Alerts. Glad I didn't pull the trigger. This set, everywhere, has less than 4 stars.

I'm a 2 knife guy, and my old Henckles was lost in Mt recent move. And while I'm fine with using a 11in Filet knife on everything, it's too flexible for a lot of things. (Every spatchcock a chicken with a filet knife after your wife almost killed you for using her fabric scissors? It's exactly what you might think it would be. Lol.)

Thanks for the info. I had just thought they were all made in Germany.
I think that all Zwillings are made in Germany. Henckels knives are made in various countries. But the steel is the same and I doubt that the manufacturing processes could be much different within a particular series of knives. Maybe a culinary or knife expert might be able to detect a performance difference, but I sure can't. Maintenance, care and sharpening are all the same to me.

Jacques Pepin has said that he has hundreds of knives but uses only three. I've observed watching him that when it's time to cut something, he picks up whatever knife is closest to his hand regardless of what it is. There are very few kitchen prep tasks where it really matters. I wouldn't make radish rosettes with an 8" chef knife of course, but such specialized situations are very rare.

For those of you worried about the quality of a $56 knife set, you can save $7 and get this instead.
