WÜSTHOF Gourmet 10-Piece Knife Block Set

OMG! I needed a new block/knife set- my previous Cuisinart set was so bad, resharpening them wasn’t the answer- the blades just wouldn’t hold the sharpness. Did my research for something superior, & the Wusthof brand delivered! I use them daily & they are staying sharp as a knives should be! I love them! They may seem a bit more pricey, but the steel used is such a nice quality- worth every penny! I cook at home a lot-& it makes chopping & dicing a lot quicker when you have the right tools. I even splurged & bought (when they were on an Amazon deal) the 4 steak knives that the block has room for, but did not come w/ this set. I plan on adding a couple more knives to the set when there is a good deal on them, too. Very happy with my purchase!

Was given a small, two knife set as a gift. They were/are incredible! Decided to spend a bit more than usual to get this higher quality, superb full set. Like me, if you cook and can afford these knives, GET THEM.I mentioned price a few times - these are not inexpensive BUT are a super value for the functionality, quality, and quantity.THESE ARE SUPER SHARP - I have had some small, inadvertent cuts to hands/fingers. Having really sharp knives means paying closer attention to handling. Don’t be afraid, just heed this experienced warning ( and have some bandaids).Cannot truly express how happy I am that I did finally treat myself to fabulous knives.Final note, like I did, one can start with a smaller set and build from there. BUT buy this brand because they are exceptional.

I went back and forth about spending this much on a knife set. I bought some cheaper knife sets and the quality was terrible, I returned them. This is a beautiful and sharp set and worth it. Of course you have to keep them sharp like any set but the craftsmanship is noticeable. I got these on sale so watch for one.

Okay, the knives cut great. I just received this today as a Valentine's gift from my hubby (no, that's not tacky....I always prefer practical gifts) and I was initially very disappointed, because as you can see in my photos, the wood block has flaws that I will have to try to touch up. It's definitely not gorgeous wood like the one showed on Amazon. I just think for the price, this should be a quality purchase all around. However, I will keep it since the knives are the most important part. I will see how the block touches up. I wouldn't buy it for a wedding gift or anything since I can't be guaranteed the block is going to look nice. Also, one more thing: Most of the knives must stay in their cardboard sheath if you want them to fit snugly in the slots in the block.

Very sharp knives, great set although I wish the advertizement provided clearer info regarding knife lengths. THey work, but a larger kitchen knife would be nice

If I could give this product and seller less than 1 star, I certainly would. I was told by my sister, an experienced chef, that Wusthof is the way to go. Having used her Wusthof knives before, I was a believer! I ordered this 7 piece starter set and waited excitedly for them to come. The pitiful product I received was not in fact real Wusthof quality. The knives had little weight to them (i.e. cheap feeling) and although the blade was sharp it was not of the same thick cut steel that German knives are known to be. The Wusthof stickers-yes, stickers- on the handles were a dead giveaway that this was a knock off product. Immediately after opening the box and discovering the dollar store quality, I contacted the seller for a return. I spent $20 to have these horrible knives shipped back to the seller, DeSalla's, somewhere in California. Three weeks later, after a confirmed delivery from the post office, I had still not heard back from the seller or received a refund. Thank god for Amazon's A to Z guarantee for third party sellers. I can only hope they will remove this company from their marketplace entirely. Coming from an experienced cook, I encourage you to choose a different knife set entirely. I found a great set from Chicago Cutlery that is sturdy and sharp!

We bought two from this brand several months back and they were so superior to other brands we have. So we bought this set. Very good, very sharp knives!

Love this quality starter set and the reasonable price. Bought this to replace old collection of dull knives. Block holder very solid and attractive which has additional slots to add on. Does not take up a lot of counter space which is what I was looking for besides quality. Knives are very sharp so be careful if you are used to dull knives! This the set to start out with if unsure what knives you really need or want! These are my go to knives everyday! Hand washing is advisable instead of putting in dishwasher like any other quality knives. If you are considering getting new knives this is the set to get! Give it a 5 Star rating! Plan on filling up the extra slots.
