Editorial Review:
Wusthof Gourmet knives are Laser Cut. This intricate manufacturing process is superior to other "cookie cutter" methods as it is more precise and leaves the knives with less distortion. The Gourmet knives use the same steel that is used in our other more expensive knives. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet can be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Located in "The Cutlery Capital of the World", Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Each step is performed to exacting standards by skilled German workers aided by the most modern, computer guided equipment. It is this balance of German technology and old world hand craftsmanship that is the secret of how each W??STHOF knife is created. The Wusthof Gourmet 7piece block set includes:3-in. Paring Knife 4.5-in. Utility Knife 8-in. Bread Knife 8-in. Cook's Knife 9-in. Sharpening Steel 9 slot block
This handsome set contains just about every kitchen knife you'll ever need. It includes an 8-inch cook's knife, a 3-1/2-inch parer, an 8-inch serrated bread knife, and a 6-inch sandwich knife, which is an efficient slicer for a wide range of cutting tasks. In addition, the set comes with shears, a 9-inch steel for sharpening, and a nine-slot solid oak block for storage. A rewarding investment in cutting ease and efficiency, this collection would also make a perfect gift.
Part of the Classic series, the implements in this set represent two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. The knives are hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength, and their hand-polished blades are exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take keen edges when honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe, the knives are also fitted with traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handles that are triple-riveted for durability. All Wüsthof cutlery brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners. --Arthur Boehm

Do you really need the whole set? I know, I know, people like sets. We like things that match. It looks classy on the counter, etc. And we want to own "the best" and show it off to our friends. But after three years, I only use two of these knives consistently -- the chef's knife and the paring knife. I love the Wüstof chef's knife - for the paring knife I am indifferent. So ultimately, I probably could have saved a lot of money buying a cheap bread knife and paring knife and just buying the Chef's knife from this set. Not to mention... more info
Are they sharp? Have a bandage ready!! I received the knives,opened the box, wife used one of the knives, sliced her finger! These are very sharp knives and they hold an edge. Haven't found one problem with them yet. Look good, fit well in hand. Got them at a great price also. Best set of knives I have ever owned.
Really Worth It The saying, "You get what you pay for," is not always true but I have found that with kitchen items, it is usually right on, especially with knives. If you are not used to seeing the prices for higher end knives, they may shock you, especially when it is for an individual knife. With a set like this, not only do you save a lot of money over buying the pieces one at a time, but you also get a great starter set that will meet most all of your cutting needs in the kitchen. We got our set of knives for our... more info
Now it cuts like a knife...But it feels so right... These knives are superb! I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. I purchased this set during an Amazon "Friday Sale" combined with a kitchen items promotion and ended up paying approximately 165 dollars! These knives are flawless (both handle and blade)in their construction and razor sharp right out of the box. They practically "sing" when you brush your thumb against the blade. I have never used "good" knives before, so i was amazed at how effortlessly the chef's knife cut through a potato! I... more info
