W sthof Gourmet 11-Piece Knife Block Set Beech Wood

After years of using budget knives, I finally decided to upgrade my kitchen setup with the Wusthof Gourmet Knife Set, and I’m so glad I did! Having lived in Germany for several years, I became deeply familiar with the rich history of German knife makers. The craftsmanship and precision that goes into German knives is legendary, and Wusthof is no exception. I was able to snag these on a Black Friday sale, and the value is outstanding. While these aren't the premium, hand-forged Wusthof knives, they are made from high-quality German steel and are built to last. The blades sharpen beautifully and, with just a quick honing, they maintain their sharpness effortlessly. What I love most about these knives is how low-maintenance they are. They are dishwasher safe, which is a huge bonus for me. The handles are made of premium quality materials that feel fantastic in the hand, with a solid, secure grip that gives me full confidence while using them. The set comes in a sturdy wooden block, with a few extra openings for expanding your knife collection over time—an added bonus if you're planning to add more knives in the future. Overall, I am confident that these knives will last me a lifetime, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality knife set that will serve you for many years, I highly recommend the Wusthof Gourmet. You won’t regret it! Read more

Knives are good. Scissors that come with come apart when using Read more

Nice looking wood block and sharp knifes to do all my vegetable slicing. My favorite one is the bread knife. Still trying to figure out how best to use the honing tool. I wish I would have boughten this nice set long ago instead of buying all those cheap knifes. Read more

I had my first experience with Wusthof Knives when I was in my teens working for Crate & Barrel. One of the reps came in for a demo for the sales team, as part of attending they ended up giving us all a knife that we thought was most useful for us. My folks and I had used the heck out of that knife for cutting meat, veggies, etc. It was so sharp and durable. Believe it or not I still have it today, and I'm now in my 50's. So when I needed a new set I didn't think of anyone else. I purchased this set and couldn't be happier, well maybe... I had one slip and they got me, I tapped my thumb and sure enough it was enough to cut, but that's all on me. Knife skills are definitely recommended when handling knives this sharp. I can't stand knives that just don't cut. For a top of the line knife at a discounted price I would highly recommend this set. The great thing about Wusthof is they have a set for all budgets. Amazing Knives! Read more

It's what I expected from a quality, and reputable manufacturer. Block was individually wrapped tightly to protect it during transit, as was all the knives in their own wrapping. I was reluctant to purchase due to it's price, but you do get what you pay for, and I'm glad I paid for this set. I naively thought the knife set I was previously using was adequate for me; what I didn't realize was how much I was 'forcing' the knives to cut/serrate. With this Wüsthof knife set, the effort seems, effortless. The knives feel comfortable and sturdy to use, giving me confidence, and a better sense of safety. I prefer to handwash these, as it can only add to their longevity. I haven't used the honing steel, haven't had to yet, but I'm sure it will work as intended, just like each individual piece in the set. And, btw, I am not a chef or anything like that, I just need to cook, and I'm enjoying how this knife set makes me feel when I'm using them. Read more

The knives are decent quality with a very good blade. The edge is razor sharp. Cutting is a pleasure. The selection of knives however is seriously lacking. I wish it didn’t include the four steak knives or count the knife block as an item. It’s actually only 5 knives and a few accessories. Some of the best knives I’ve ever used but disappointed in the knife selection. Read more

So far I love these knives! So sharp and light. Read more
