They need to be sharpened right out of the box. Some of them (8" chef and 10" chef that I bought separately) have spine sharp enough to cut yourself - I had to have it dulled. Other than that they are OK. If I was buying again I would go with Wusthof.
Update: Sharpening steel is your best friend!

Don't let some of these negative reviews get you down .. these are GREAT knives!
Prior to purchasing these knives I read the various reviews .. I find Amazon Reviews very helpful! My daughter in law has the Wusthof but I wasn't sure I was willing to pay quite that price since I don't cook as much as she does with her larger family. The Consumer Report information on the Profession S being "Forged because it is very close in form and function to traditionally 'Forged' pieces .. the only difference is that it isn't physically 'forged' from one piece of metal." .. helped my decision also. I then purchased the Henckels and have been just delighted!
Right out of the box they were gorgeous! Not a single defect/flaw/scratch .. each one wonderfully sharp .. I tried each knife .. slicing a piece of paper using from tip to handle .. like slicing through butter!
Quite frankly I would never abuse a fine piece of china nor a good knife .. so I don't worry about warping or discoloration of the handle .. it has always been my practice to just quickly scrub and dry my knife after use .. even my old cheaper knives still look good after years of use .. I'm so happy to finally have some GOOD knives .. trust me .. I'll take REALLY good care of these knives! Have some pride folks! (And if in time they DO get a bit banged up .. mores the benefit to my family .. it created some good food in the banging up!)
I also found the Customer Service Department more than helpful when I called because I wasn't quite sure about one area of registering my product online .. they couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.
I do not have huge hands and these fit my hands really nicely .. AND my husband is BIG .. and he likes them also!

I recently bought a Henckels Professional "S" 9-Piece Block set, and I must say that it looks and feels like the real deal.
My brother is a French Chef, and he preaches the importance of good knives. So when I decided it was time to get a real set of knives, I bought the best that I could afford.
It is right that these knives might not look as good as some cheaper knives, but here the money are not spend on the visual appearance, but the on the actual quality of the blade.
The balance on the knives are near perfect, and they just feel so nice in the hand.
When the knives comes out of the package they are only moderately sharp. So the first thing I did was to sharpen them, and yes they can hold an edge. I use a Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker 204MF, and after 5-10 minutes with each knife it was upgraded from a utility edge to pretty close to a razor edge, and they can hold that edge.
I must admit that I love these knives, and it is a pleasure to work with them.

I purchased my Pro-S set roughly two years ago and have used them on an almost daily basis since.
The blades are of very good quality. Sharpness along the cutting edge was nearly even from base to tip when new. With weekly honing with the "sharpening" steel, the longer 8' blades have remained very sharp. Only the paring knife has lost its sharpness and needed a professional sharpening. The backs of the blades were properly deburred and dulled, allowing for tremendous pressure to be applied without injury to self (chopping turkey bones in half with the Chef knife). The serrated utility knives continue to cut loaves of bread as if they were butter.
My largest complaint has been with the handles. They are a sandwich of steel between dense black plastic. When run though a dishwasher (even without heated drying) or left overnight in soapy dish water, light rust sometimes occurs in the tiny gap between these two materials. It is very superficial and can be quickly cleaned, but it is annoying. The plastic is also starting to see light spidercracks on the paring knife.
Furthermore, the rivets have pitted and tarnished. I can no longer soak my knives before washing them, and the dishwasher is completely out of the question for fear of further damage.
Lastly, the wood block has not warped or discolored even after two years of moisture and direct evening sunlight. The top four slots on the right side all handle 8" blades. The topmost slot could even handle a 12" blade if required.
