I know. This was made by the Lion Sabatier, Depuis (since) 1812 Thiers.
OMG. These are a dream to cook with. The chef’s knife in particular is SO sharp and really an ideal shape for me. I sliced up more taco fixin’s for last night’s dinner just for fun.

That particular Henckels handle was groundbreaking when it was introduced. I do not believe they have ever come up with another handle as good.

These are the ones with the lion embossed on the handle?
I do not know about the handle, but there is a lion pantographed on the blade.

That utility knife is so good for any number of tasks, but it is a tomato slicing machine.
Enjoy your new purchases and may you get years of satisfaction from wielding these.

Great choice of knives.
High quality steel, and very comfortable handles. Good Ballance so you don’t really feel the weight that much. And they can really take a beating.
Zwilling manufacture knives all over the world, they come with different logos. Your are with the twin logo(two little men) they are made in Germany and are considered the best Zwilling there is.
Now you just need a good sharpening steel and some practising using it. And you got what you need

Thank you!
I constantly recommend the Forschner/Victorinox Rosewood line of knives to people. I prefer their weight and balance over their plastic-handled versions, and the tactile feel of real wood is so much nicer than that of POM or TPU. The blades are decently sharp from the factory and are super easy to maintain and improve. When the kids first moved out on their own they each got a F/V Rosewood santoku and paring knife as “new life” starting gifts.

Yay!

Those rosewood handles are very attractive, but I prefer the fibrox handles for their grip. IMO, it’s hard to beat Victorinox for price/quality.

Now that’s something I never thought of before: calibrating tastes buds. Thanks for posting that.

They do?
I thought Zwilling was only made in Solingen.
If you count the “corporate acquisition” mold, there is Miyabi in Seki City.
It looks as if it is Zwilling J.A.Henckels. Henckels has certainly made knives in multiple places under different logos. One of my favorites was a carbon steel chef knife with only one of the two goofy guys, not twins as used on German production. It was made in Brazil.

$25 food service knife (with inflation; even cheaper by the dozen). Check it out:

Watch to the end when he processes the breast meat.

The end was cool, but I especially like what he did with the thighs. My SiL uses that knife a LOT.
