I bought a whole block of these "silverpoint" wustoff knives thinking I would be getting a fairly decent knife considering their reputation even though it was their lower end. My husband and I are very disappointed. The knives are thin, flimsy and bendy...not good when you need to cut a very crusty slice of bread or anything else a little tougher. They aren't as sharp as I was expecting either. I would have been better buying a cheaper brand with a thicker, more solid metal part. I guess if you're going to go for Wustoff...go for their expensive knives, because in their case, you get what you pay for...and less.

Obviously, Wusthof makes top of the line...knives. These break knives are its low-end counterpart, but are more than adequate for 90% of the people out there. If you are a chef or have a lot of money to blow than you'll probably want something better. Otherwise, these will do just fine. The smaller knife is for English muffins, bagettes, etc.

THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD QUALITY KNIFE AS MOST ARE BY THIS MFG..BUT IT PROVED TO BE A CHEAP VERSION.

I own most of the line of knives made by the company. This set is nice, but the large bread knife is not terribly good at cutting (surprise!) bread. Now, the smaller knife is my very favorite, constantly used knife. I had used the tomato knife regularly before (with multiple cuts to prove it), but this little one cuts anything you give it (it just sliced raw beef into dandy cubes) and is maintainance free. Can't get better than that!

I agree with the 2nd. buyer, these are descent knives. I love mine & although they are a bit flexible it's not like I'm going to be cutting through tin cans or steel with them, lol. They slice through bread like butter and after trying basic cheap bread knives from cutlery sets I've owned in the past these are the best ones that work for my Breadmaker loaves of bread. I recommend these knives but would suggest waiting to purchase them if possible on another Amazon Friday sale like I did. I give them 4 stars!

Nothing really to say about this knife set. I got it as part of promotion for buying something else here on Amazon, otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it.
Holding it, it is very non-impressive. Nothing outstanding about it.

But what can I say? I've had it for a few years and it has performed admirably, no issues whatsoever.
If you need a bread knife and the price is right for you on this one (sorry, it was free for me), then get it.

Received the knives very quickly. I was very happy with the price as I was planning on purchasing them at the regular price anyway when I found them on sale costing about a third (of the normal price). We have made good use of them!
