  This was a splurge purchase for me and wow did I ever underestimate how much better a sharp, high quality knife could be! The chef's knife is a dream. The weight and balance of it really do wonders to cut through anything in the kitchen. I always wondered how chefs on TV make cutting and chopping look so easy; turns out it is mostly just having a nice sharp knife.I got the 11 piece set, and I do notice that many of the knives are probably unnecessary in most cases. If I were to do it again, I would get a smaller set an add any additional knives I needed.If I had any complaint, it would be the knife block. The slots are pretty generic so they don't always fit the knives well, and the scissors slot is a little too big so the scissors hang down when in the slot which looks sloppy. I would have expected a greater attention to detail at this price point.But yes, do yourself a favor and just pull the trigger on these. They are amazing knives. If you had to pick only one, the chefs knife is incredible.

  It's taken me many years to finally break down and buy myself a quality knife set instead of purchasing oodles of individual knives. I'm finally glad I did. These are the best knives I have ever owned. The edges are sharp and cut like butter. In many cases I do not have to exert any effort to slice and chop food.There are 12 pieces in this set as follows:- one 3-1/2-inch paring knife- one 6-inch utility knife- one 8-inch carving knife- one 8-inch bread knife- one 8-inch cook's knife (a.k.a. chef's knife)- four 4-1/2-inch steak knives- one 9-inch honing steel- one pair of kitchen shears (they come in two pieces for cleaning; originally I thought they were broken)- one 13 slot storage block (this leaves two extra slots to store other knives of your choice)They are forged in Germany from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. Hand washing is recommended and it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.I've been using these regularly with three wooden cutting boards I purchased specifically for these knives. I use to use a glass cutting board which damages knives so in order not to damage these knives, I made sure to purchase wooden boards. Although end grain cutting boards are better, I purchased edge grain instead.These knives are a dream to work with and I highly recommend them. At the beginning I was a bit annoyed that the storage block had two extra slots, but I learned to love that feature because I am able to store my Victorinox and other knife there and have gotten over the fact that they don't match.UPDATE August 27, 2019 - Today the scissors that came with this set broke. I used them once or twice per week. I am so disappointed. I did contact the company to see if they would replace them. Other than this, I use mostly the steak knives in this set. I have had to sharpen them as is typical and they are still going strong. I also use the other knives but only about once per month because I work with the steak knives mostly. I have also sharpened the other knives about two times since I have purchased this set. I am very satisfied with everything but the cutlery scissors. Also, note that I only used those scissors for cutting herbs and not chicken bone or anything hard, which makes this an even bigger disappointment.UPDATE August 29, 2019 - Today I received a replacement pair of scissors from Wusthof. I am incredibly impressed with the prompt service.

  Highest quality, will last a lifetime with basic care . Wish they would not put their name on the lower end of their product line.

  Awesome set of knives, be careful very sharp!

• mjhigg

  Considered this set for a long time. They are awesomely heavy on your hand. Excellent quality. My only gripes (minor) is that I wish they were slightly sharper, and they are oddly more difficult to get clean. Maybe because I never put them in a dishwasher. Grease just likes to stay on them for some reason.

  Pleased overall. Came sharp. Maintains. Strong. Fun.

• Loren Gray

  We waited 3 years to buy nice knives, expensive. We used knives that would hold dishwater in the handles for 3 years, ugh!These knives are amazing. If like us you cant afford a whole set buy an important couple of knives you use most often. The grip on the classic is great and they cut beautifully!

• Maryann

  These are the best knives! They hold an edge for a long time but when they need sharpening the steel does a great job bringing them back to a great edge. This is my second set, needed good knives in the RV too!
