Reviewed by dealshopper from Lansing, MI on Saturday, December 29, 2012It's been a while since I treated myself to new high-quality knives. These are extremely sharp. The steel is on the thin side and I don't know how that will hold up through sharpenings over time but, for now, these are a pleasure to use. The wooden block is very nice too.

Reviewed by BakerBoy from La Grande, Oregon on Wednesday, October 31, 2012I bought this knife set for my wife. She is an excellent cook but has never really had a quality set of knives. I think these will serve her well. Great, sharp, quality knives at a discounted price.

Reviewed by rbrband from OKC, OK on Tuesday, April 17, 2012A good set for those starting out with German steel. Somewhat small knives--the bread knife is relatively small--that can prove a plus. (I think that this set has an even smaller bread knife, also--quite handy, and a very nice bonus!) This steel won't rust as cheaper Chinese steel will.... The scissors/kitchen shears do separate--making cleaning easier. (This feature induces the shears more readily to come apart unexpectedly over time, though.) Unfortunately, the shears' blades thicken--closer to the handles--this makes them hard to sharpen--especially with an electric sharpener--or a "cross" device with ceramic sharpening stones. The sharpening steel works fine--it will take quite a long time with the scissors, though: That will prove very frustrating and annoying. (Other reviewers on other sites also have noted that the shears, available separately and for a relatively small price, aren't all that great.) For one thing, the shears won't cut certain things well (at least, given the way the shears "end up" over time)--notably, tendons in chicken. The blades, given certain materials or foods, may tend even to "hesitate" and "slip"--not cutting well at all. Thus, I've "cheated"--I now sharpen both sides of blades for the shears--that wasn't intended by Wusthof. The shears now perform somewhat better, but that's certainly not the best thing for the steel. It's also tedious to get to the best sharpening possible (over time), in this manner--given the frustrating blade thickness. Really, I prefer my Japanese Henckels scissors: Those are far more dependable and always work relatively well. My block for this set has become separated--I must re-glue that. It's been over a decade since purchase, though. This set likely won't be the last fine cutlery purchase for a traditional couple/nuclear family or an amateur chef (or, alternately, a gift that will prove sufficient far into the future). Given prices these days, though, it's a good start into quality--and, a nice gift. Perhaps, given better scissors/shears (virtually any other better shears from a good competitor brand should be superior), the set then should prove satisfactory. Given the handy sizes of the knives, I'm keeping mine around.
