Professional S Series by Zwilling/JA Henckels
What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

What does " w/stamp " mean?
As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.

My wife and I purchased our Professional S block in 1993 while stationed in Germany. These knives have made many moves over the years and have been used in just about every meal prep for all these years. There is not one blade out of the set with a single stain. The blades are super sharp and easily kept that way. Our set literally looks brand new! We've added a couple Professional S knives to our block over the years and never considered any other knife for our kitchen. We give these sets as wedding gifts now, knowing the longevity and value of the Professional S is superb.
The knives feel great in hand. The block provided extra slots for all of my other knives to be stored into it as well. Keep in mind the scissors are made in China. The serrated blade had some imperfections out the box.
The set is as described. I love the look and feel of the block and the knives. I even managed to add my steak knives to the block and and used an extra slot for another knife I had. I still have 2 extra slots.
The Pro S is a traditional German knife line. It is fully forged, has a full tang, and the three rivets on the handle which give it a nice classic look. Love the assortment because it also includes a small Santuko which I use as a chef's knife while cooking with my partner. The block also has additional slots which allows me a location for some of the other knives I already have. Zwilling is a top manufacturer of German high carbon steel cutlery and has been in business for over 280 years. I know my money is well spent, especially with the life time warranty that guarantees the performance of these knives. Also dishwasher safe which is a must with our busy schedules.
Blades are sharp. Handles are full tang and the bolster at the bottom keeps your grip tight even when wet. Block is very nice and has room for additional knifes.
Our cooking experience has been turned upside down by this knife set. 1) our kitchen looks so incredibly attractive with these knives on the counter. 2) our veggies and meats are now sliced to such a high precision, I’m not even sure how we ate food before these knives. 3) the superior quality craftsmanship on these blades are just unbeatable, you’ll never need another knife again.
