Does anybody have any experience with their knives?
I was looking at the X50 professional range. My budget doesnt stretch as far as the Elite or Damascus range unfortunately.
...nor do my skills!

I bought a set of these and they replaced all my others very quickly.

As I bought a few other things I got this as a free gift.

And to be honest, they are the best I have ever bought. Not to everyone's standard or taste but fine for me at home. I also bought a cleaver for those times when I get bone in joints from the farm shop that I can cut in 2 for me and the wife.

Like I said I changed a lot of things an bought it all from procook, and so far nothing has stood out to be crap.

Reminds me to order another magnetic board for the other knifes and a sharpening stone.

Hope this helps.

If you have a TK Maxx local have a look at their knives. Can often pick up a real bargain. I picked up a JA Henckels Santoku and Cleaver for about £15 a piece years ago, still going strong

It was me that recommended their ham slicing knife on the Aldi thread. TBH, I wasn't aware that they did any other knives. One of the knives in your photo (front left) prompted me to look in the cutlery drawer, and sure enough, we have another Procook. I have to say that this knife is also excellent.

When you have had a chance to try them out, please come back and report.

So a months usage, and I would highly recommend them. Lovely weight, and incredibly sharpy. I managed to just about shave my hand with all of them apart from the serrated knife wink

A lesson learned, dont put the large carving knife at the end. I went to pick the block up by grabbing the wood on either side, as my fingers slid under I slit my index finger down to the nail.

The weight of the Santoku and clever type vegetable knife are great. They are my go-to.
