Not the quality you would expect..,

This review is from: Wusthof Gourmet 5-Piece Essential Knife Set (Kitchen)
I had mistakenly assumed that these were like my Classic Wusthof knives, but they are not even close. The blades are thin and I don't think forged (they are 'laser cut' [??]) and the tang does not run the full width of the plasticky handles. They are very light - not that good heavy-but-balanced-feel of the Classic series. They ARE sharp, however! My wife has already cut herself twice - a rare occasion. So, look closely at the picture, you can see that there is no steel bolster (part of the blade on the Classic as wide as the bottom of the handle) on these knives. Buyer beware, had I known what I was getting I wouldn't have bought these but instead more of the forged Classic or LamsonSharp lines (but the price was GOOD on these; what's that about the Poor Man Paying Twice?)...

Poor Quality Knives,

I've purchased these knives just over a year ago. The "Wusthof" labels, were just that, paper labels, and peeled off after a few weeks. The handles on 3 of them are now cracked. The blades are and were always thin and fragile, hence have a few knicks on them. The best and sturdiest tool are the shears, hence 2 stars. Basically, you get what you pay for these, don't expect anything more. I wouldn't spend the $59.99 on these if I had to do it over again.

I was very exicted when I saw this set on Amazon's Daily Deals at a terrific price, but when I received them I was very disappointed. You would expect to get a better quality knife because it has "Wusthof" name on it, but this was not the case. The knifes were extremely light, NOT stainless steel, and I really had to look at the blades closely to make myself believe that they were real!! Save your money, but the real thing.
