Absolutely fantasticJan 21, 2005
By M. M. Jackson
Got my Pro "S" 7pc. set for Christmas and haven't looked back. In the course of researching the 4- and 5-star and Pro "S" knives, I was informed that the only difference is the handle material. The Pro "S" is the same as the 4-star with a more durable material for the handle. At an additional $20 cost for the whole set, it seemed worth it.
Anyhow, these knives make short, EASY work of anything. I love the paring knife...cloves of garlic submit from a mile away, slicing small things is like cutting through a cloud.
The chef's knife is fantastic. I was a little miffed when I read that the 4-star set had the Santoku, but I'm not terrribly worried. For chopping "billowy" stuff like cilantro bunches, etc., the pronounced "rocking" action of the chef's knife is clearly preferable to me.
The boning knife does it's job well and I prefer it for butterflying steaks, chops, cutlets, etc.
The utility knife does a fine job on tomatoes, bagels, etc.
The scissors I haven't used much yet...not sure what to use it for besides snipping the string off of butcher packages. They are silky smooth to use, though.
All in all, I am very happy I have this set. My sisters have the $60-ish Fine Edge Henckels International set which is terrible...they HAVE been using it on a GLASS cutting board (!) but really they ought to perform better than the pulling and ripping I had to do last night with some red peppers.
These knives are FAR AND AWAY in a different league than those and I couldn't be happier. Got my Polypropylene cutting board and I am off to the races.

Like the handles better than the 4-StarDec 18, 2005
By Patti
I bought the 4-Star set, and instantly returned it and got the Pro-S instead. I was dissapointed with the handles of the 4-Star, the plastic (IMHO) diminished the aesthetics and the "feel" of the knives. I learned that the 4-Star's "full rat tail tang" is very different than a true "full tang" found in the Pro-S. The rat tail tang reduced the weight and the sense of handling that I eventually ended up getting from the Pro-S series handle style (full tang, riveted, and heavier). I like seeing the tang!
The blades in both of course are superb - but if you like a heavier handle and if you like to "see" the full tang (the rat tail tang is embedded/invisible in the plastic handle of the 4-star) go for the Pro-S.
Best to actually hold and compare both styles before you order. I have a friend who loves the lighter plastic handle, so I guess its a matter of personal preference.
PS - the Pro-S was only $20 more (I got it on sale, but even when not on sale they are comparable). I DID like getting the Santoku with the 4-star (but it was the small 5 inch one rather than the 7 inch). The Pro-S does not come with the Santoku, so I will have to buy one............

The Best Knives I'VE ever used!!Oct 17, 2001
By middlemoo
"maraschino"
I'm no knife expert, but I've never regretted purchasing this set: they're beautiful and they really do the job! To be able to easily slice through raw meat, vegetables, tough skinned tomatoes - well, it's a pleasure to work with these knives! I can't recommend them highly enough!

 Great setNov 23, 2010
By Curshellas
I have used these knives for years and am very happy with them. They sharpen easily when I need to, the block has maintained a nice finish, and there are just the right knives in the set for everyday use. I use the scissors a lot, and only wish they would unhinge for better cleaning...otherwise, the set is great and the knives do not stain or dent easily.
