OMG! I needed a new block/knife set- my previous Cuisinart set was so bad, resharpening them wasn’t the answer- the blades just wouldn’t hold the sharpness. Did my research for something superior, & the Wusthof brand delivered! I use them daily & they are staying sharp as a knives should be! I love them! They may seem a bit more pricey, but the steel used is such a nice quality- worth every penny! I cook at home a lot-& it makes chopping & dicing a lot quicker when you have the right tools. I even splurged & bought (when they were on an Amazon deal) the 4 steak knives that the block has room for, but did not come w/ this set. I plan on adding a couple more knives to the set when there is a good deal on them, too. Very happy with my purchase! Read more
Was given a small, two knife set as a gift. They were/are incredible! Decided to spend a bit more than usual to get this higher quality, superb full set. Like me, if you cook and can afford these knives, GET THEM. I mentioned price a few times - these are not inexpensive BUT are a super value for the functionality, quality, and quantity. THESE ARE SUPER SHARP - I have had some small, inadvertent cuts to hands/fingers. Having really sharp knives means paying closer attention to handling. Don’t be afraid, just heed this experienced warning ( and have some bandaids). Cannot truly express how happy I am that I did finally treat myself to fabulous knives. Final note, like I did, one can start with a smaller set and build from there. BUT buy this brand because they are exceptional. Read more
Great gift for my daughter ( and for her Dad who kept trying to get her knives sharp!) This is a great set, forged, great quality and balance. Read more
This was a Christmas gift for our daughter who moved into her first apartment. She was used to our Wusthof Classic set; moved out with extremely poor quality knives from college. This set definitely is not the Classic set or similar heft but a great starter set. The entire set is smaller in scale than the Classic set: block is smaller footprint, all knives are smaller so was surprised at first when unpacking and washing up. But she reports that the knives are excellent quality, super sharp and a great combination/price for her and roommate to use. Read more
Made my Christmas gift 🎁 perfect thank you so very much Read more
I went back and forth about spending this much on a knife set. I bought some cheaper knife sets and the quality was terrible, I returned them. This is a beautiful and sharp set and worth it. Of course you have to keep them sharp like any set but the craftsmanship is noticeable. I got these on sale so watch for one. Read more
My knives came without the honing steel. When I tried to address this with Amazon, they told me to contact the seller directly, since this was purchased through a third-party seller (makes sense). When I called the customer service line the following day, the lady that I spoke with was rude and dismissive. She didn't care to hear what I had to say and simply stated I should "bring it up with Amazon, it's their problem". Again, the honing steel is a $25 replacement, it could have been an easy fix for them. Now I had to call Amazon who ended up requesting a refund from the seller. The seller didn't respond and Amazon was awesome enough to refund me for the purchase. After that pain in the a** trying to get my money back, I can tell you the knives aren't even that good. Overall I can't recommend these on any level. Read more
Awesome set, super sharp! The block has 2 extra slots for add-ons. Read more
