Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Wenger, the maker of the Genuine Swiss Army Knife, is also known for its Grand Maître kitchen knives, which are still made entirely in Switzerland. The polished, high-carbon, stain-resistant blades are stamped rather than forged, which makes them more affordable yet still extremely sharp. The non-slip, synthetic Grilon handles are injection-molded directly to the tang for increased durability, and are shaped in such a way to reduce fatigue during long stretches of food preparation. With no cracks or seams to harbor bacteria, and because they can be sterilized and washed in a dishwasher, the knives are among those preferred by professional butchers and chefs.
This window-packaged set contains four commonly used kitchen knives, and thus makes an excellent starter set for the accomplished home chef. The set contains a 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch utility knife, 8-1/2-inch cook's knife, and 8-1/2-inch serrated bread knife. Also, as a bonus, Wenger includes a gift-boxed 2-1/2-inch Esquire model Swiss Army Knife. One of the smallest and most basic of Swiss Army Knives, yet perhaps the most useful on a daily basis, the bright red pocket knife features a pen blade, springless scissors, nail file, toothpick, tweezers, and a key ring. --Ann Bieri

Scary Sharp - Just Like the Forschner Knives,

This review is from: Wenger Grand Maitre 4-Piece Cook's Set with Swiss Army Knife (Kitchen)
I am very pleased with this knife set. They are scary sharp, comfortable and safe to grip, and hold an edge.
They are also a very good deal. They are nearly identical to the top rated R.H. Forschner/Victorinox knives, but the Wengers are much harder to find in the U.S. and only sell in sets. In Europe, these same knives, with bright yellow handles are the top sellers to professional chefs under Wenger's SWIBO brand. The 3 piece Wenger Grand Maitre and 3 Piece Forschner/Fibrox sets sell for $55-$60 on Amazon, so this 4 piece set with Swiss Army throw in is a deal. On the down side - while they are tough, they are very light weight/not full tang/stamped not forged. These attributes will effect aesthetics, not use, safety, or reliability. They are not nearly as pretty as my Wusthof knives, and the free SA knife is a small but handy pocket type. The box they come in is not fancy. Note that the bread and utility knife are both serrated, the paring and chef are smooth blades. At well under $8 per knife, a full five stars.

This review is from: Wenger Grand Maitre 4-Piece Cook's Set with Swiss Army Knife (Kitchen)
Got the set when they were on sale. I was amazed by the quality and sharpness of the knives when they arrived. As a matter of fact, the bandage on my finger testifies it.
Other than the bread knife, I have used the other three. The paring knife was good for peeling apples, a bit too sharp though. The utility knife was good for cutting oranges, although I would like it to be harder and thicker. The chef's knife was perfect for cutting vegetables and meat, and was super sharp, sharper than any knife I have used, so be careful when handling it. Overall, super value for the price. One more thing to add: Be careful with the knife, I am looking at two new cuts on my finger when I am typing. They are much bigger/deeper than if I used my other, dull, knife. I will keep using the knife, but only when necessary.

Sharp..Very lightweight..Ok if you get it cheap enough,
This review is from: Wenger Grand Maitre 4-Piece Cook's Set with Swiss Army Knife (Kitchen)
Good starter set for newlyweds etc, light but looks very cheaply made with no tangs. Plastic handles. Really, if I could do over..I'd not buy this set but get something better. I don't need the serated blades much either, and straight heavier blades would be a lot nicer. Adios ....
