The first Wusthof paring knife set I used was a gift from my husband. I was so impressed with the quality, the ease of cutting, and the overall feel of the knives in my hand that I have purchased four sets to give as gifts to the special chefs in my life. All have said that they threw their other paring knives away after using the new knives ONCE! We joke that we all have become "knife snobs".

These arrived just in time to test them during our annual quince preserve making. Quince are a difficult fruit to peel and very hard to cut into small pieces. The bird's beak knife was the best helper we have ever had for the peeling process and the paring knives helped finish the prep work in record time. Comfortable handles, strong knives and sharp, sharp blades. Highly recommended product.

These knives feel so good when wroking with them. Great value for a Wusthof quality. Right size for the job, comfortable to use and hold up to some of the heavier things to pare. peel and dice.
Love them and all their other W-knives. Looks good in the block knife holder easy to clean. Good gift for anyone.

I purchased these as a gift to my wife who is a restaurant chef. They have become her favorites for preparing fancy carved vegetables as garnishes to showcase her dishes and they are in constant use. Quality is excellent. I would have rated them as 5 stars, but they do required frequent sharpening. For every day home use, I'm sure they would stay sharp a very long time.
Pros: balanced, Ergonomic handle, Value for Money

Yes these knives are really sharp. But we were really disappointed when the paring knife in the set got rust spots after just one run in the dishwasher. Guess that's why they're the bottom of the line for this fine old knife manufacturer.
Cons: Appearance

Great knives and a great deal. I wanted the peeling paring knife and got the set for not much more. The peeling paring knife is now my husband's favorite next to the santoku knife. Wustof is a quality knife and still made in Germany, unlike some competitors.

The knives are very practical, easy to handle, use and sharpen. They seem to be sturdy so far. I did notice that the blades are thinner than those of Wusthof Classic, but for the price they can't be beat.
