Gourmet Knife Block Set (12-pc.) by Wusthof

I have used other brands of cutlery, Kitchen Aid, Cutco, J.A Henkel to name a few.They all were lkie useing a back saw instead of a good knife. The knifes I ordered from Foodnetwork were a pleasure to use. They have a nice sharpness that makes food preperation easy and a little faster. The next blade I will add to the set will be the oriental stile chopping blade then the meat slicer. Overall a nice set of blades.

Excellent knife set and wooden block. Better without the kitchen shears. A Carving fork would be a better choice for this set.

We have been enjoying Wusthof knives for over a decade now, and I still regret not having sprung for great knives many years ago. We now proudly give Wusthof knife sets to our children as wedding and house warming gifts, and they, too now wonder, "how do you ever get by in the kitchen without great knives? Start with a Chef's knife or even just a paring knife and you will be hooked with no regrets!

So for, I am extrememly pleased with these knives

Excellent knives overall. The chef knife is a bargain. I found the smaller knives (steak knives) relatively thin but don't have anything to compare them to. Overall, glad I bought the the set, no regrets.
