I love to cook, and the worst thing any cook off any level of experience can have is bad or even mediocre knives. These knives were incredibly affordable for their quality. They truly loved up to the expectation that is with German steel. Inediblly sharp. Well balanced and the edge holds up wonderfully. I've yet to have any need to sharpen them and I look for any and all opportunity to use them.

I have used Global for the last 15+ yrs but thought I would try these after reading independent reviews. They are nicely weighted (albeit I prefer a heavy knife) and were really sharp on arrival. They cut beautifully and sharpen up easily using the Wusthof sharpener. Very pleased with my purchase.

These knives are awesome. Buy them if you can afford them. One of you're great-grandchildren will be using them if they aren't lost in a divorce along the way.

Pricey but worth it. Beautifully balanced, perfectly honed, and flawlessly made. Love them! Will definitely add to my collection as I can afford to. Tired of having to oil our Japanese blades...these are not as finicky but cut just as well and actually feel better in the hand. Shipped promptly by the vendor in sturdy packaging.

Excellents produits
On voit tout de suite la diffrence quand on utilisait jusque l des couteaux de cuisine standard achets en grande surface. Certes le prix n’est pas du tout le mme mais quel plaisir de couper sans devoir forcer, de faire des tranches extra fines, de sentir qu’on tient un couteau de qualit…
Finalement, j’ai enlev une toile car au bout de quelques temps et malgr qu’on les utilise peu souvent, les couteaux coupent moins bien et il faut les aiguiser. Pour le prix, je m’attendais ce que le tranchant dure + longtemps…

Incredibly durable and sharp knives that have pride of place in my kitchen. They take a bit more looking after than your regular kitchen knives but as a budding amateur chef, I wanted to have decent knives ever since I saw chef Jamie Oliver talking about which knives you need. Apparently these three sizes are all you will ever need. They have stood up to any task I have given them, and are so sharp that I could shave with them when I got them! They keep their edge for a very long time if you treat them as any decent knife should be treated – i.e. don’t leave them wet as water is the enemy of sharp metal edges as anyone who owns a razor will eventually realise.
Now I just need to learn to use them… 🙂

Impresionado!!!
La verdad es que es la primera vez que tengo unos cuchillos como toca, y la verdad es que estoy impresionado. Ahora entiendo la diferencia de precio. Cortan de maravilla y estn muy equilibrados, parece que se muevan solos.
Totalmente recomendados.
Bought this set for a wedding gift and I know that they will enjoy them for many years to come. A gift I can give with confidence, and this is a price point with a much higher perceived value. Wish I had gotten them when I was married instead of 40 years later! This lucky couple can start out in the kitchen with the right tools for the job.

I love these German made knifes. They are a must to any household who does want to keep it simple and down to essentials. They feel very well balanced in the hand and the quality is amazing. The only reason i took 1 star away is the weight. Especially the largest knife should have been a little thicker. Somehow it does not feel as serious as it looks in your hand because of the reduced weight. It is still very well balanced just a little too light.

I purchased these knives about a month ago, and I wanted to wait to write a review until I used the knives several times. When I first received the knives, I immediately took them out and started chopping some onions and bell peppers. The knives did not seem very sharp, I was experiencing quite a bit of resistance during my cutting, and they had a film of dust over them when I took them out of the box. I wasn’t ready to give up on my first set of good knives and bought a honing steel to see if it made a difference. After honing the three knives, they are now living up to their reputation. They cut perfectly… I even held up a piece of paper with one hand and sliced through the paper without any resisitance. They are a bit on the heavy side; I am a new at-home cook with fairly small hands. However, after a few test runs with various veggies I was able to find the most comfortable hand placement and technique so the weight is no longer bothersome. I highly recommend these knives, but I advise you to also purchase the honing steel to keep that sharp and straight edge. All in all these knives are great and I am very pleased with my purchase.
Bought as a gift.
Bought this set as a gift for my neice upon her graduation from a culinary program,felt it would be a good start for any chef.
Wanted to get her a quality brand of chef knives that would instill a sense of pride in herself,and would hopefully show her peers that she’s “got the goods”.
And yeah,these are some really nice chef’s knives,should last her a lifetime with the proper care.
Exceptionnel
Un rgal de cuisiner avec ces couteaux, rien voir avec des couteaux classique, aucun effort faire, trs tranchant trs prcis
I never though I would enjoy peeling potatoes...
I used to have BergHOFF set for years and really used to it, but always wanted something more professional.
After reading about different brands I decided to purchase Wusthof Classis. This set of 3 is perfect for our needs. I used the smallest one to peel potatoes and loved it!!! I never knew I might enjoy peeling potatoes!!!
Knives were nice and sharp out of the package. Package was in great condition. There were few slight scratches over largest knife’s blade, but it’s very minor and not bothering me.
I highly recommend this set as a starting set. I compared different sets and figure out some sets have too many useless knives (I can cut bread with much cheaper knife is I need to for example).
First set of nice knives I've had. Don't use the smallest knife much, but it's not canning season yet. Like the balance and weight.

Great buy
Superb knives, nice balance and great value for money. Only a home cook but seem to hold their edge well.
First knives ever worth learning how to maintain properly. Been reading up on it. These hold an edge much, much longer than my cheap knives, but nothing lasts forever nor is supposed to. Good starter set. For me a 4-1/2 inch is better for chopping or mincing so I ordered one in addition to these and this pretty much gives me everything I need, but I'll probably keep adding to my collection as I see a need. After 30 married years with cheap throw-away knives I might take these with me to my grave.

I purchased this knife as part of a Christmas gift package for my wife which included the Wusthof 4 1/2" utility knife. One of the first tests was to use one of the larger knives to slice a squash in half for baking. It went through with a little effort, but nothing like what it took with the old Chicago cutlery knife that we used before (took two hands)! This was the larger kitchen knife in the three piece set. The smaller knives are excellent for chopping and dicing, and again the difference was like between night and day compared to our old Chicago knives used for similar tasks.I have limited experience with other knives and how they compare to Wusthof, but so far these knives are just great for what we need and exceeds our expectations. Time will tell how long the edge lasts, so I cannot endorse the longevity, but right now I highly recommend the Classic Wusthof knives for anyone thinking about upgrading!

After going back and forth between Wusthof and Henckels, I decided on this set. I am very pleased with the weight and feel of these knives in my hand and they are performing as expected. I was surprised, also, that the seller included a "free" knife block and honing steel. I would recommend these knives and the seller.

Impressive
I attended a 35 week culinary school and we were required to bring knives so I ordered these prior to school starting. The first day of class the teacher asked to see our knives. Out of all the people in class she was most impressed with my choice of knives.
These are high quality at a reasonable price, you can spend twice as much and really not get a better knife set. They hold their edge nicely rarely need sharpened just remember to hone them occasionally and you will not regret your purchase.
j’ai achet cet ensemble il y a un an.
l’acier est de trs bonne qualit et l’efficacit de coupe est relle. il n’y a aucune comparaison avec les couteaux ordinaires que j’avais avant. Ils supportent la comparaison avec les couteaux “cramique”.
Par contre il faut aussi se procurer le fusil de la mme marque Wsthof TR4463/23 Fusil 23 cm pour maintenir le tranchant des couteaux au top. Voir sur internet la manire d’affuter les couteaux!
Une fois bien affts, rien ne leur rsiste (attention aux doigts).pour ma part je ne les mlange pas avec les autres couteaux et les laisse dans leur tui.
il est conseill de ne pas les mettre au lave vaisselle mais mme si cela arrive une fois il n’y a pas de problmes car ils sont solides.
A la main ils se nettoient trs facilement car le manche ne comporte aucune aspri
fantastic
i bought these for my husband who is a great cook and loves it, he thinks these are fantastic but be warned are super sharp
Proper german quality
I simply love these knives.Very tough, very sharp and a pleasure to use.I barely touched them after taking them out of the box and managed to cut myself, honestly i thought they were sharp but not like that.I paid a lot of money for them but no regrets, every penny was wisely spent.

Wusthof knives
This was a Xmas present for my husband. He had seen Gordon Ramsay using them in a set of cookery programmes on TV. And, well, if they’re good enough for Gordon Ramsay they were good enough for him. He has used them constantly since. In fact he got rid of most of his other knives. Careful they are really sharp!

We already had a fairly recent Wusthof carving set and when the time came to replace our rather elderly and well used kitchen knives we went for this knife set.
The balance and finish of the knives is perfect and makes cooking a pleasure. They arrived well sharpened and the 20cm cooks knife in particular has become the new kitchen jack of all trades.
The 16cm utility knife has found many uses particularly in baking and the small 9cm blade is so useful that we’ve bought a second one for when we’re both cooking.
They’re kept handy on a magnetic knife rack and washed/dried by hand after every use. Knives of this quality deserve a bit of respect and I’m sure they’ll return it by many years of service.

I spent a long time researching knives before settling for these. I also considered global knives but was not so impressed with their strength/durability (based on research). These Wusthof Classic knives are fantastic quality and very sharp. I love using them and now look forward to cooking 🙂 I would recommmed that these are very carefully hand washed, dried and put away after use. They are too good to put in a dishwasher and it would be unwise to have these razor sharp knives mixed in amongst general cutlery.
More and more, the famous names in knives are being made off-shore. I bought my first set of Henckels and Wusthof knives in 1978, in Luzern, Switzerland, worked as chef in Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, and treasured my knives. Chicago Cutlery are great as well, but more and more it's all under license, made in China. These knives arrived, in perfect tradition, sharp and handy as ever.

Been putting off upgrading my cutting crew a while for some reason but saw these at a good price so went for it.
Too early for a considered impression but they look and, more importantly FEEL, the business.
Under scrutiny, there’s a slight imperfection on a small section of the blade of the boner towards the handle but not something I’m overly concerned about at this price.

I found the Wusthof Classic Gourmet 3-Piece Knife set to be excellent value. I have personally known Wusthof knives for 15 years and wanted to buy something special for my daughter's wedding, so very pleased I could buy such quality items at such a good price. Buying Wusthof knives in sets will become the standard for me in the future for presents where I want to impress.

It really is what u expect from a great brand. My wife just got home from culinary class and this was my gift to her.
I bought this Classic set to replace the old 7-piece Classic set I bought 14 years ago. I abused the old set badly, I bent two of the knives and put a chip in the blade of the 10″ knife by smacking a coconut. Another one was lost. However, the knives still performed fine and only needed an occasional sharpening with the sharpener that came with the first set. They held up otherwise: there was no rust and or damage to the handles even after putting them in the dishwasher.
The new knives match the two old knives that I am still using (the old bread knife was fine). But, they are so much sharper than the old ones that I already cut myself while cleaning one of them. I plan to treat the new knives with care, no smacking or prying things and no dishwasher. I use a few of them almost every day, probably light to moderate use. They’ll probably last another 20 to 25 years with no problem.

I used a Wusthof at my sister's house and fell in love with it. I won't let anyone else use them!

I would give these knives a 5 star rating, but the slicing & paring knives dulled quickly. The chef's knife I absolutely love and use at least once daily. The weight and balance of the chef's knife are a plus.

A great set of professional knives. A perfect set for a beginner. If you want to shop Wusthof, use Wusthof Canada, they deliver great product, in a timely fashion! Thank you Wusthof!

The knives are well weighted and are (should be) a pleasure to use. Sadly the smaller two knives in my set were basically blunt, struggling to cut into a tomato. While I expect to have to sharpen them to keep them tip-top, I expected them to arrive in a better state than they did.

This seem to be a very nice set. Now, I want to add to it.
Yep, it sure beats my Mervyn’s purchased $50.00 set.
Very pleased with the three knives. They all work very well for the intended purposes. I think that they're good value for the price. I also purchased the steel sharpener to keep them in top notch condition. The delivery time was amazing. The order was placed on a Wednesday and I received the order at my door on the Friday. Wow!

We’ve been using this set for better than six months now and continue to be impressed with it. The quality and ergonomics of these knives is simply excellent–what a joy to use the right tools for the right job! A few passes over the steel after every cooking project restores the scary-sharp edge of each knife (any one of these blades will shave hair), so maintenance is simple and easy.
For most cooking projects we use the Chef’s Knife, the Paring Knife, and our Victorinox 6-Inch Semi-Stiff Boning Knife, with the Fibrox Handle (also from Amazon). Honestly, these three knives do it all for us! The six inch sandwich knife comes into its own during the week, doing what its name implies, throwing together a quick sandwich meal at the cutting board.
For our uses, the above knives, plus our…
– Victorinox Cutlery 4-1/4Inch Fork-tipped Tomato Knife
– Joyce Chen Unlimited Scissor
…have readily handled every food prep situation to date! All were purchased from Amazon, and all arrived in a timely manner and in perfect condition.
As our cooking adventures expand, we may add an item or two, and this is where we’ll shop!

Great combo set at a great price. Perfect for someone who needs a starter set. The combo covers lots of kitchen needs.

I’m not really sure what I can say about these knifes besides the fact they are fantastically sharp, look great and are a very high quality. Quality German precision.
After years of making less expensive knife sets work, we are very happy to finally replace a block set with 3 quality sharp kitchen knives. Items arrived quickly and happy with the change.

These knives have literally changed my outlook on cooking. Versatile set that can manage most cooking needs. I treat these knives with the utmost care & respect. Would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic knives
I got these knives primarily because a) I have been eyeing them for 2 months now and were at the top of my wish list and b) they were on sale for $125. I can’t give Wusthof enough praise. The knives feel so balanced, so sharp, and so large. They feel solid in my hands, and you can tell the build quality is great. I took the tip of my finger and ran it perpendicularly across the blade and for the first time since I’ve owned a knife I heard the way real quality steel sounds like when it is properly forged.
I used the chef’s knife to cut up a shallot and a zucchini today. I think “cut” is a harsh word for this instrument because of how elegantly and effortlessly it moved through both vegetables. It felt like I was just dipping the knife into foam rather than a solid object. I’ve owned them for a day now so obviously I’m still in the honeymoon phase. I’ll try and post an update as I get more experience with them and as their strengths and weaknesses start to show.
I knew my old knives were ready for replacing but these things are lethally brilliant. I have nearly sliced several fingers off but preparing food is a pleasure now I have given the knives a little more respect. Time will tell how these last but I have every faith if looked after. I have purchaced a Wusthof knife sharpner too to maintain them. Overall….highly recommended!

If you only buy one set of knives in your life then buy these.
A great set, very sharp, comfortable to use and a good mix of sizes.
They make food preparation easy so cooking isn’t a chore.
I did a lot of research on the popular, better knife brands before buying. I was torn between the two most well known: Wusthof and Henkels. I saw a lot of reviews regarding Henkels about them not lasting long or living up to expectations. According to Wusthof’s website, all their knives have the same blades in them, in all their knife lines. Perhaps I misunderstood their descriptions, but this is the meaning I took away from their own website. That being said, the only difference between their cheaper and most expensive (Classic) lines is the handle. I would still purchase the Classic line, even knowing that. The metal in the blade on the classic line runs through the entire handle, all the way to the butt end. The metal is exposed on the top and bottom of the handle, giving a very good secure grip. The knives are very well weighted and hefty. I bought the cheaper, Silverpoint, line of Wusthof steak knives. The difference is clear. The Silverpoints are still very nice knives, however they don’t have the hand feel and ‘confidence’ of the Classic line. The blades are great, it’s the cheaper feeling handle.
What I am getting at: if you want quality knives, you really can’t skimp, even on something that seems as trivial as a handle. This set is a great starter set. I was concerned that it would not provide a wide enough variety of blades. I was wrong. The 8″ knife is perfect for solid chopping, especially tough vegetables. The mid size ‘sandwich’ knife is very good for trimming soft meats. And of course the paring knife for traditional paring duties.
As others have mentioned, nicer blades like these should be treated a little bit differently. Do not put these into dishwashers. They will bang around and become dull, quickly. The heat will also damage the handles. Hand wash and towel dry immediately after use. The steel will rust quickly, otherwise. These are great knives, and they need exceptional care to last.
My son brought these for use in our kitchen. We now fight over them as they truly are just the most perfect knives to use in every day cookery. Wouldn’t be without them now.

Funny title considering the cost, I know, but there is an old adage of you get what you pay for. Sure, I could go to Wal-Mart and pick up a $4 chef knife and it will cut things, but there are so many more variables than just being able to cut something.
My brother owns a set of these knives, and my dad always praised them when he owned a restaurant, which led me to my final decision. I cut tons of veggies and wanted knives that I would be happy to use, not just get me by. They do the trick, and with proper maintenance can last a long time.
I had a friend who tried to convince me to get cutco knives, he said the free sharpening was what sealed the deal. I know how to properly steel a knife and prefer doing that every other day than having to send my knife somewhere to have it sharpened. Don’t even get me started on the difference in quality steel between the two knives.
Wusthof knives are beautiful tools and while they are not cheap they are not extremely expensive either. You can spend a lot more and not get much more.
Expensive, but you get what you pay for, a well designed balanced knife. Top quality materials.
I loved these knives right out of the box. They came sharp and feel great. I was finally moving out of the parent’s house and needed some knives. With the free block and steel from Amazon you can’t go wrong. I looked at all the sets for weeks and in the end decided that I would rather just buy what I needed, instead of settling for what came in the sets. I have found that I am rarely happy with prepackaged sets of anything. Therefore, this was a good starting point to which I added a bread knife and plan to add pieces if I need them (I doubt I will, but I may just fill the block :). I bought these sight unseen from Amazon and could not be happier.
Update! June 2011 and still going strong! Daily use, occasional sharpening, wow.
