If quality and long lasting knife set you are looking for price is not an issue, this is THE best knife set you will ever own. If you compared the Wusthof’s with the other brands at one of the knife stores in the mall and Comparing them side-by-side was very enlightening and will make your mind up that you will only buy the Wusthof’s from. I highly recommend going to one of the mall knife shops and playing with them, most have a wide selection of all of the high quality knives. For this kind of money it is the only wise way to make your decision. I would recommend purchasing from Amazon.com though, the knife stores I went to were about 25% more expensive
Known worldwide for their superior performance, Wüsthof knives are the cutlery of choice among many professionals and by discriminating amateur chefs. The Classic series features a traditional styling that makes it the most popular of the Wüsthof lines. The blades are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon steel and a stain-resistant alloy so they retain their edge longer and are easier to resharpen. The blade is ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edge is then hand honed for precision slicing. The sturdy feel of this knife is achieved by the weighted bolster, which is considered to be Wüsthof’s signature feature. The tang runs through the synthetic handle and is secured with three rivets.
This is a great set of knives. I specifically wanted a set with 8 steak knives as I have 8 servings of everything else. The knives are extremely sharp. I love that the blade and handle are one solid piece. They are also very easy to clean. They are the sharpest, lightest weight, comfortable handle knives I’ve ever owned. I have had them for months now and still have yet to need the sharpener. Of course I’m glad it’s there for future use. I hand wash them and dry immediately and they still look brand new! No water spots or discoloration. Got them for the same price as Walmart, with free Amazon.com shipping and I never had to leave home.
