Professional S 7-pc has 16 slots. FOUR STAR 7-pc has 15 slots.
For a small set with more slots, Professional S exceeds MIYABI Artisan and ZWILLING Signature 7-pc at 10 each; spare-knife compatibility remains unknown.

Your choices are compared with each model’s product details. A missing or conflicting value stays unknown and cannot satisfy a choice you select. The starting order helps you browse; it does not rate real-world performance.
Source dates appear with each link below. A source date does not confirm today's price or stock.
Buy the knife mix rather than the largest piece total
Set totals range from 5 to 19 pieces. ZWILLING Pro le blanc has a 5-piece option, while Signature has a 19-piece option. Count the blades you will use. Those totals include storage and accessories; read the contents to see which blades suit your preparation tasks.
A bigger package does not establish that you receive more knives you will actually use.
Choose around the blade shapes and care directions, then consider where you can store sharp edges securely.
Block openings and package totals are different counts
The ZWILLING Signature 19-piece set has a 20-slot block. MIYABI Kaizen’s 10-piece set has a 12-slot block. Neither package total identifies which openings are occupied; inspect the block layout and itemized contents together.
Block-slot values are available for 11 sets. An unknown slot count leaves the storage layout unresolved rather than proving that a set has no block.
Construction labels cannot predict your grip
ZWILLING Signature is stamped; Professional S is forged. MIYABI Kaizen uses a micarta handle, while Artisan uses pakka Wood. These labels distinguish construction and materials, without deciding handle comfort.
We compared knife descriptions without cutting food or evaluating edge retention. Keep terms such as ABS and PP as the maker supplies them, and follow the specific washing and storage instructions for each set.
Before you buy
What do forged, SIGMAFORGE, stamped and welded mean here?
They're the makers' own construction labels. Five ZWILLING sets say forged and two say SIGMAFORGE; four Signature sets are stamped and the Gourmet is laser cut stamped; both MIYABI sets are welded. The finder treats each label separately, so if you choose forged, the two SIGMAFORGE sets won't count as matches. Professional S 7-pc is forged.
Which handle materials are named?
Nine sets say plastic. Kaizen says micarta, Artisan pakka wood, Pro le blanc 5-pc ABS and FOUR STAR Self-Sharpening PP. Signature 15-pc gives no handle material. The filter keeps those labels separate.
Which sets sharpen their own knives?
Two have a self-sharpening block in the name: the FOUR STAR 7-pc and the Signature 15-pc. That Signature set, the Pro le blanc 5-pc and the Pro 10-pc give no slot count, so you can't compare them on block room. The 6-pc Pro le blanc and Gourmet sets give 5 slots, while every 7-pc set gives more slots than pieces. Signature 19-pc gives 20 slots and Professional S 18-pc 19 slots. Included knife types aren't documented here; check the exact set before buying extra knives.
