Henckels Pro S.
This is Henckels best selling line. It features their famous 3 rivet handle design along with their premium forged blades and full metal tang. Balance on these knives is a good on the 8" Chef Knife but a little blade heavy on the 10" Chef. Fit and finish is very good on the knives we tested. Some have criticized Henckels for welding the blade to the handle instead of the more traditional method of forging the entire knife at once. This is a cost saving method but we have never heard of anyone breaking a knife at the weld which is invisible to the user. We would prefer this knife to have a tapered bolster and the edge is not very steep out of the box which makes them a little less sharp than we prefer but on the flip side the edge they provide lasts a long time before you need to re-sharpen. Overall we give this line a B.
