I had purchased a 10 inch Wusthof chefs knife about 7 years ago from Chefs Catalog and love it. Have been wanting a new block set and saw this special in the catalog. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend.

I have always wanted a great set of knives. We made the mistake of buying the forever sharp knives, and they did not live up to as advertised. This set of knives were just exactly what I was looking for, and priced just right. I will definitely purchase more Wusthoff cutlery.

I had no idea that knives like these existed. It cut through raw meat like room-temp butter. I have a disability with my dominant hand and cutting anything has been a struggle - more often than not needing help. I haven't had to ask for help once since we got these knives. They are sharp, a managable weight, fits the hand in a natural curve and is perfectly balanced.

The knives are obviously extremely sharp, but the handles seem to be a little light, I wish the blades were ever so slightly thicker. Interestingly enough there are two extra slots in the wood block, I thought that I was missing two knives. I called the company, they said I was not, the slots are for "convenience" items. Odd.. So you really get 10 knives and an unexpected wooden cutting block and an unexpected - and how often will you ever use it - sharpening tool. That makes "12". No, not recommended. I'll probably just "eat it" and buy a nicer set next year.

This is the first set of good knives that I have ever purchased and I am glad that I waited until I could afford a nice set. They are extremely sharp and completely different from the cheap set I had before. You really do get what you pay for.

I hate dull knives and hate even more having to sharpen them all the time. With this set, I don't have to. This is an excellent set of knives. Better than the Chicago Cutlery I have had in the past. Scissors are great, easy to clean, and love that they come apart. Knives all cut great. All the sizes I use most often. The only drawback is that they are not quite as good as my Wusthof Ikon knives, but then they aren't supposed to be. But this is a much better deal and well worth the money spent. Would recommend them to anyone.

I recently purchased a 12 piece set of Wusthof Gourmet knives. They are a superior product and perform beyond expectations. I thought I would have to step up to the Classic or Classic Icon Wusthof knives but the Gourmet brand are all anyone needs in a very well made and exceptionally well balanced set of knives. I hope to enjoy them for many years to come.

Needing to relace an aging knife set, I looked @ this set earlier but the $400 was too much. When the special price was announced, I could not resist. Saved the set to use for Thanksgiving and my bird sliced like never beforel My guests were impressed with their knives and the beauty of the block set itself!
