The set consists of an 8-inch chef's , a 5-inch hollow-edge santoku, a 5-inch serrated utility , and a 3-inch paring .

Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality knives. That makes Pro S handles heavier and knives less weight-forward. Handles are also smaller, which those with small hands might appreciate. Except for fully forged blades less than 6 inches long, such as the paring and utility knives in this set, the blades and bolsters of Henckels's first-rate cutlery lines are formed by a high-tech welding process that combines three high-carbon, stainless-steel types into what appears to be a single piece so a 's parts have distinct, desirable characteristics.
