Product Description
Amazon.com Review
A wonderful housewarming gift or a great addition to your own discriminating kitchen, this Wüsthof starter knife set contains the essentials for chopping, slicing, mincing, or carving--all in one set. The 3-1/2-inch paring knife is perfect for cutting up small fruits and veggies. The 6-inch serrated sandwich knife can handle whatever kind of sandwich you make, from a huge Dagwood club on a roll to peanut butter and jelly on white. The 8-inch cook's knife is the most versatile and essential knife in a pro chef's kitchen--use it for anything from chopping up ingredients for pesto to cutting up fruits or slicing large pieces of meat.
Wüsthof's Grand Prix line improves upon its Classic line by adding an ergonomically designed handle and a contemporary look. Each Grand Prix implement is forged by hand from a single piece of high-quality carbon steel, using a 38-step process. A full tang--a single piece of steel from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle--gives each piece a balanced feel, superior strength, and lifetime durability. Peer into the private kitchens of professional chefs, and chances are you'll see Wüsthof knives. Wüsthof-Trident understands the art of the knife. --Amy Adams

Good Value, Wrong Knives,
By D "sub" (Metro Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wusthof Grand Prix 3-Piece Gourmet Knife Set (Kitchen)
There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.The Wusthof Grand Prix line is a more modern design than the Classic series, with a simple black handle. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. For those wondering what benefits a higher priced knife provides, one benefit is that the blade (or tang) is one piece all the way through the handle. This makes the blade much stronger, and less likely to snap. This set includes an 8 inch chef's knife, a 3 ½ inch paring knife and a 6 inch sandwich knife. The 8 inch chef's knife, is a great knife. Wusthof offers three sizes of chef's knives, 6, 8 and 10 inch. For most home cooks, I think the 8 inch knife is the best choice. The 6 inch is a bit small for bigger jobs, but the 10 inch is too big for most jobs. While the 8 inch isn't perfect for all uses, if you are only buying one size chef's knife (and most people only buy one), this is the one I would recommend. As for the 3 ½ inch paring knife, this knife falls into the category of overkill for me. Most cooks will get by just fine with the 4 ½ inch utility knife. There is really no notable difference in size for the vast majority of applications between the 3 ½ inch paring knife and the 4 ½ inch utility knife. I prefer the 4 ½ inch utility knife, but the 3 ½ inch paring knife will do the trick. I have found very few uses for the 6 inch sandwich knife. I prefer the larger size of the chef's knife or the smaller 4 ½ inch utility knife. This knife is just the wrong width and length for most tasks. This set is a good deal; however, if compiling a set myself, I would include the chef's knife, the 4 ½ inch utility knife, and the 9 inch bread knife. Judge for yourself.

High Quality,
By Whistler302 (perkins, oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wusthof Grand Prix 3-Piece Gourmet Knife Set (Kitchen)
I am always impressed when I find a product that is so well made that I wonder how anyone can improve upon it. These knives are of a very high quality and I would recommend it to anyone who insists on having a quality tool. However, it is important to take care of these knives. This is not the knife for those who do not like doing maintenence. You must use the steel before every use and hone it or have it professionaly sharpened every 6 months to a year. If you do these simple maintenence chores these knifes will last a lifetime!
