W STHOF Gourmet 16-Piece Knife Block Set

Best knives we’ve ever owned. So sharp and precise and we just love them. Lightweight too! Great knife block and looks great filled with the knives on our kitchen counter. Great investment AND at a great sale price before Christmas. Read more

Love these knives. My husband got them for me as an early Christmas gift and they have been SO nice. I’ve used a lot of brands of knives over the years and these are by far my favorite I’ve ever used. Read more

Very cheaply made. They actually feel cheap in your hands. I got for 50% off on Black Friday and its still not worth the money. Read more

Knives are good the block quality is lacking and does not seem like it is designed for the knives. It seems generic fit. Read more

I've always heard that this company makes great quality knives. Don't be fooled into buying this set. Yes - they are sharp, but the quality is terribly lacking. I expected for the nearly $300 I spent (more with tax) to get a knife set of much better quality. First, the block is a "fits all" block. The upper knives fit loosely and there is an extra space. The finish on the block (see photo) is lacking. Look at the lower part of the block. The steak knives are thin and three are already showing signs of rust. They've never been in the dishwasher but also don't lay them in a wet sink. I guess that's what's causing the rust. So, every time that you use one you should immediately wash and dry it and return it to that nasty block. Look closely at the dimensions listed on the smaller knives and think about how small that blade actually is. In my opinion they should all be about an inch longer. Careful when using the honing steel - if you hit the knife wrong you will scar the knife steel. I had been looking for a new set of knives for quite a while, and my twenty-year-old Chicago Cutlery set is just as good or better. I'm just past the return window, but hopefully someone from the manufacturer will see this and attempt to make it right. If you're considering this set - think again. They get two stars for being sharp out of the box. I wonder how long that will last. Read more

READ THE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BUYING! you may think you're getting x, y, z but be sure to read the descriptions and compare sets. This particular set is missing the 8" chef knife and the 8" bread knife but you get two more steak knives. Knives themselves are sharp, lightweight and feel good to the hand and are appealing to the eye. Three stars because I feel a little frustrated that the list of knives is not clearly listed and the photos of all these different "options" look the same and get confusing. Read more
