Excellent cutlery from a respected maker
By A photographer
I bought this set for my wife for Christmas, mainly because I was stuck on ideas as to what to get her. She spends a lot of time in the kitchen and she had been using an old set of Chicago Cutlery and several unbranded cheap giveaway knives for several years. None of those knives were that great or that sharp and I hated trying to put an edge on them even though I'm pretty good at sharpening knives.Essentially, knives are just sharpened pieces of steel that appear to be pretty simple, straightforward instruments that shouldn't be difficult to produce. But a little experience with some poor examples prove this to not be the case. Like most seemingly simple things, the simplicity is an illusion.My experience has not been with kitchen knives but it has been with "working" knives. Pocket knives and fixed blade knives designed for hard use in the nasty jobs I have to do daily from removing staples in papers at the office to chopping down woody weeds in the backyard to cutting up boxes, rope, cording and thin pieces of aluminum. I know the value of a blade that can take a good edge and hold it through a lot of abuse.I did a little research and found several brands of kitchen knives that had universal respect. Wusthof always was at or near the top of everyone's list. More often than not, it was number one in the reviews and surveys I came across.My wife was a little apprehensive about the sharpness of the knives out of the box. She quickly realized the value of a really sharp kitchen knife and, in no time, she was commenting on how much easier it was to work with the Wusthof's than the cheapo knives she had been using. She has really been making good use of the paring knife and the chef's knife in the days since Christmas. My own limited use of the chef's knife from this set confirms how well it handles and cuts compared to the clunky Chicago Cutlery chef's knife.After looking over more reviews, I've ordered the Wusthof 7" hollow edge santoku to go with this set. Designed for thin cuts, it will fit in well with the other knives. I'll probably also get a serrated edge bread knife in the not-too-distant future to round out the Wusthof set. This is likely to be a lifetime purchase for our household and that makes the high price more of an investment. I'm well pleased and so is my wife.

Quality Makes A Difference, Handles Crack
By John J. Spittle III
A sharp edge , the ability to hold it, and balance are truly worth the price.01/05/13 Update - Rating changed from five stars to three. All of the knife handles have cracked despite careful use and hand washing. This is unsanitary and inexcusable in an expensive culinary tool. The blades continue to provide a keen, long lasting edge.

By J. Berry
After doing lots of research, I decided to purchase this set of Wüsthof knives and am glad I did. I was concerned that the slicer and chef's knives might be short, but they are perfect! I actually like them better than my older longer knives because they are easier to control. I hadn't realized that my old knives were just a little too long for me all these years.I like the balance on the knives and the handles feel good in my hand. The way the blade and handle come together on the knives is nice and smooth and much easier to clean than my old knives. My fingers feel protected. The blades are nice and sharp.I am happy with my purchase!
