Product Description
The Classic 8-piece block set includes 3-1/2-inch parer, 5-inch santoku, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch cooks knife, 9-inch steel, kitchen shears and a 9 slot storage block and 2 stage hand held knife and shear sharpener, wusthof Classic riveted handle design is combined with a contoured shape to add comfort and control. Located in -inch the cutlery capital of the world-inch, Solingen Germany, the wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the duchy of berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Throughout it’s history, wüsthof has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

These are great knives, very sharp, and seem to be very well built. The only thing keeping them from getting 5 stars is the santoku knife. It's a great knife, but when using it, the point of the hallowed edge is that food is not supposed to stick to the knife. But it does, food does not fall off of this knife.
Still, it's a very good set of knives, well worth the price.

I'm so glad I spent the extra money for these. The balance and feel of the knives is excellent; they are a pleasure to use. It was so nice to finally be able to get rid of the old hand-me-down knives they replaced. Unlike some other reviewers, I did receive the 17-slot block that is pictured and have 6 steak knives I also purchased in it. I look forward to eventually adding more of these knives to fill out the empty slots!

We bought this as a birthday gift for my roommate. The packaging was excellent, none of the knives were damaged in transit. Each knife is excellently balanced and extremely sharp. The block is well-made, and it looks like it'll last him a long time. A definite upgrade from his previous entry-level JA Henckels set.

Great set of knives!
For the last 10 years, my wife and I have been using the $30 set of knives I purchased when I was in college. Yeah, it was about time we upgraded. Read more

This is a very good product. Great balance, great feel, easy to maintain the sharpness on the blade since it comes with the steel and a sharpener. The block is nice as well. Read more

Great set - very sharp!
These are very sharp, beautiful knives. I cannot believe the difference they make. The knives slide through pretty much anything (ok, not metal) like "buttah". Read more
