 Product fine...shipper sucks! March 21, 2009

The Wustof Classic 8 Piece Knife set arrived! woo-hoo! But what is this? The outer-box the product arrived in from "ShopDealOnly" is crumpled, ripped and the packing tape is coming off! Yikes! I openes that box to find the Wustof box loose within and rattling around, no bubble wrap, or stuffing. Luckily, the Wustof box itself, containing the knives, and block, was packaged securely so the product is fine.
I do not recommend Amazon use this shipper,retailer again, I was lucky...this time.
 nice knives, just one problem January 9, 2009

I owned an 8" wusthof che's knife and it was the best knife I've even owned. I got this block as a Christmas present and was very disappointed that the quality and weight of the chef's knife was not what I was used to. Overall very good, but not Wusthof's highest quality.
Weak edge retention! August 22, 2008

My first set of quality knives. Well balanced, nice looking, but weak edge retention. Despite using bamboo as a cutting surface I have to resharpen them every week to keep a razor sharp edge. I was pretty satisfied with them until I tried a small Global utility knife, which was much sharper out of the box and maintained its edge way longer. Initially, I tried to convince myself that my Wusthofs still had some advantage in balance and weight, but as time passed I discovered that I was using them less frequently.
In comparison Wusthofs are made of a significantly softer steel and the quality of the edge does not even compare to the Globals. Believe me, there is a World beyond German knives that needs to be discovered. If my Globals worth 5 stars then these knives deserve only 3.
 Great knife; expensive, but worth it May 7, 2008

The knife block itself has room for many other knives, and 6 steak knives. The knives themselves are extremely well made. The black handles with metal rivets are definitely a classic/elegant look, and the knives are incredibly sharp. Heavy and sturdy, these knives also hold their edge very well. My favorite knife is the 6" utility knife, because it's not too big, it can be used by men and woman alike (the 8" chef's knife may be a bit big for smaller women), and it's thin enough to get into smaller areas. The smaller 2 knives are greater for vegetable prep.
Definitely don't put these in the dishwasher. And make sure if you buy steakknives, to put them in EDGE UP... as the edge will wear down if you keep sliding the edge along the wood by putting them in edge down.
I already threw all my other knives out. Very happy!
wusthof classic knife set review, ginsu steak knives November 18, 2007

awesome well balanced knives. sharp. The chefs knife and paring knife see the most use. mom recommended.
Highly recommend getting the cheap ginsu 6 piece bakelite steak knife set for $10 on amazon. The handles color, design and rivets match the wusthoff set. And you will not feel bad when you destroy these eating steak on glass plates.
