Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof Gourmet 7-Piece Knife Set with Block

Customer Review: Really Worth It
Summary: 5 Stars

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 wedding and they have treated us well. The classic set feels great and well balanced in your hand. The handle is comfortable and I don't feel like anything is going to break as I put the knives to work.

I also use all the parts in this set. Every knife has a regular use, whether it is for cutting, chopping, slicing, paring, whatever. I use the sharpening iron regularly to keep the blades cutting well and the kitchen scissors are some of the best I've owned for a variety of tasks. The only drawback, and it is minor, is that the wooden block does not have slots for steak knives (probably since they don't come with the set).

They also are easy to clean and food doesn't seem to get too strong a hold on them.

And, probably best of all, the knives have a lifetime warranty. I know if anything happens to them, I can take them to just about any store that carries Wusthof and get a replacement without any problems.

So, without any hesitation, I really do recommend spending the extra money on a fantastic product that really will be used a lot and will last you a lifetime.

Description of Wusthof Gourmet 7-Piece Knife Set with 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 4-1/2-inch utility 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
