Not what I was expecting AT ALL. With the Wusthof name, you come to expect a certain standard of quality and appearance. These knives look just like something you might find at a discount store (with the exception that the price would be even better). Very light and not appealing to look at. Frankly I am sorry I purchased these knives. I will purchase the Wustof brand again, but not their new, cheap "silver point" collection.

First off, let me say that I own a large set of the Wusthof Grand Prix knives. They're amazing. They are also expensive, and I wanted some steak knives that matched my kitchen knives. Here's where the Silverpoint series makes sense. These are perfect for cutting up a steak at the table, or anything else. In fact I occasionaly use them to cut things that I don't want to ruin my good knives on, because these are much cheaper.

These knives come very sharp... sharper after you hone them a few swipes each.

Here are the cons... They are much lighter than the GrandPrix knives... much... but for steaks... who cares.

Here are the pros... This set sells for as much as 2 GrandPrix steak knives... and they do exactly the same thing. They look exactly the same when resting in my block with my GP knives... and honestly, nobody notices that they are the cheaper version. Everyone has always been "Hey cool, your steak knives are exactly the same." Well... not exactly... but what they don't know won't hurt 'em. Oh... and since these knives have a straight edge, instead of a serrated edge, they don't tear your meat to bits, they slice right thru it. Buy 'em... they work great.

Knives are no better than any thing you can pick up at a 99 cent store. They feel cheap and will rust.

For the price, this is a great set of knives. They come very sharp and keep their edge well. I haven't had any problems. Sure, they are a little flexible but any adult can handle the knife without any danger.

It's nice to have 8 high quality steak knives in the house. Useful as a bread knife too if you don't have a dedicated bread knife.

Don't buy these knives. They rust and one just snapped off while my wife was spreading goat cheese. I just so happen to be on-line looking for a contact to return these knives and thought I'd post my first review on Amazon. Don't buy these knives.

Great knives! They look great on the counter and are nice and sharp.

The steak knife set was an excellent buy. The quality of the knives was excellent. Quite sharp. The block was a good style Not too bulky for the counter top.
