Whistle Kitchen Knife Set Recommendations

Looking at finally buying a good quality, long lasting set of knives for kitchen use. Unfortunately living in the northwest part of Iowa, there isn't much selection of shops to go out to and look at high quality sets and you can only do so much online.

Leaning towards JA Henckels Professional S line, but welcome any recommendations. Once I kind of have an idea of brands and particular models, will make a trek to Omaha to find some shops to check them out.

Thanks in advance for the help I really appreciate it.

what makes the Henckel's so good, is it just the sheer fact that they've been doing it so long?

I've used 'em for 30 years. Life long blades that keep an edge forever. Go ahead and try a few of the cheap ones. I always come back to Henckel. (designed and built restaurants in my first life).

that gives you quite a bit of credibility, I'm looking into them too now b/c I'm replacing all of dinner-ware / pots pans, the lot

I have a set of pretty decent genuine Sabatier knives. They work well, but then again, I don't know much.

I would agree with you on that if they're the Pro S or other good stuff made in Germany. There is so much Henckels stuff that is made in Spain, Portugal, China, etc. It's not the same and might as well be called something other than Henckels.

I like Wusthof Classic. We got a set and some extras. We especially like the 6.5" Santoku.
