Product Description
Representing Wüsthof’s
Gourmet series of knives, this block set features less
expensive versions of the knives in the manufacturer’s Classic
series. Knives in the set include an 8-inch cook’s knife, an
8-inch carving knife, a 6-1/2-inch santoku, an 8-inch bread
knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, a 4-1/4-inch tomato knife, a
4-inch utility knife, a 3-inch paring knife, six 4-1/2-inch
steak knives, a 6-inch kitchen fork, kitchen shears, and a
9-inch sharpening steel. Everything fits within the 17-slot
rubber-footed oak block. Although the blades are still made of
high-carbon steel with a stain-resistant alloy, the difference
in the Gourmet series is that the blade is a thinner quality
metal and is cut by a precision laser instead of by hand. The
blade still has an ideal shape as it is ground and polished by
computer to ensure perfect tapering from tip to bolster. Full
tangs extend through the synthetic traditional-style handles,
which are triple-riveted for strength. These knives are
dishwasher-safe but handwashing is recommended to preserve the
edges on the blades. The Gourmet series is an excellent
alternative for those who want to own quality Wüsthof cutlery
but are on a budget. --Cristina Vaamonde

customers are saying:
"Perfect set of high end entry
knives."
By, Felix Nazario "Book Buff" (East
Brunswick, NJ USA)
"In the one month I have owned these knives, I have to say,
they are truly a well-balanced, sharp looking, and sharp
cutting set of knives. These knives replaced my stainless steel
every day name brand knives and they have by far out performed
the US made knives. I highly recommend these knives."
"The only knife set you'll ever have to
purchase!"
By, DH
"If you're willing to pay this kind of money, you expect
great knives. These won't disappoint. They did feel a little
light at first, but after using them a few weeks it feels
light, but solid and well balanced. The edges are phenomenal if
you're upgrading from a cheap set.
Be sure to take good care of them, handwash only! And be
sure to dry immediately. Learn how to properly use the steel,
and these will last you a lifetime!
Paying for the more expensive sets (Classic line) isn't
worth it in my opinion. The knives feel about the same, but the
Classic line is supposedly made with higher quality metal and
is "hand-forged." But "hand-forged" really means that there's
some guy that tells a machine to forge it. Wusthof employees
certainly aren't over in Solingen with a hammer and tongs over
the anvil!
If you can afford these knives, it's not a purchase you will
regret. There are definitely more knives than I need, but I
will never wish I had just bought the next set up."
"Great knives"
By, D. Price (texas)
"These knives are great. Sharpest knives I have ever used. They
cost less than its comparables and work perfectly. I see myself
using these knoves for the rest of my life."
