Update: Zwilling made good on their warranty and mailed us new replacement knives!

We purchased these knives when we first married and spent more money in hopes of having a collection of knives that would last forever. I came from a household that had crappy mismatched crappy knives and wanted to have something better. We never used the dishwasher and only hand cleaned them. I was surprised that all the steak knives handle failed and even now the utility knife failed. This the twin series from Zwilling J.A. Henckels and were recommended highly by the salesperson at Macy's. They are supposedly their flagship knives.
I have safely boxed them up and will be mailing them off this afternoon for hopefully a warranty replacement.
Any suggestions for kitchen cutlery that will fare better than these? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
