Wusthof Classic 8-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this as a wedding gift, and I was amazed at how much of a difference it makes in the kitchen! Good knives make cooking such an enjoyable experience, and Wusthof is well-known to be one of the best out there. The 8-piece set is perfect for people who want to start with a good set and build up on it. Of course I use the chef's knife the most, but I also use the bread knife and paring knife a lot too. I think a santoku knife would be a nice addition to this set, and perhaps steak knives would be wonderful to fill in the 6 slots on the bottom of the block, but in terms of practicality, I never feel like I need more than what I already have (but this is coming from a person who is a beginner in the kitchen). I have been using my knives for about 1 1/2 years now, and the knives are still as sharp as they were when we first bought it. I'm sure we will have to sharpen them eventually, but with good care I expect these to last a very long time.

Known worldwide for their superior performance, Wusthof knives are the cutlery of choice among many professionals and by discriminating amateur chefs. The Classic series features a traditional styling that makes it the most popular of the Wusthof lines. The blades are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon steel and a stain-resistant alloy so they retain their edge longer and are easier to resharpen. The blade is ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edge is then hand-honed for precision slicing. The sturdy feel of the knives is achieved by the weighted bolster, Wusthof's signature feature. The tang runs through synthetic handles and is secured with three rivets.
This eight-piece set has all the kitchen cutlery basics for everyday use. The set includes an 8-inch chef\'s knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, an 8-inch serrated bread knife, a 4-1/2-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. A pair of kitchen shears and a 9-inch sharpening steel complete the set. Everything fits neatly into the rubber-footed oak block, which has space to add six more steak knives and two more prep knives.
What's in the Box 8-inch cook's knife; 6-inch sandwich knife; 8-inch serrated bread knife; 4-1/2-inch utility knife; 3-1/2-inch paring knife; kitchen shears; 9-inch sharpening steel; rubber-footed oak block with eight extra slots.

Wusthof 4109-7 Classic 5-Inch Tomato Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I began collecting Wusthof-Trident Classic knives twenty years ago, I chose the basics first: cook's knives, parers, slicers, utility knives, steak knives, boning & filet knives. I acquired them one or two at a time, always on sale, because this cutlery has been an expensive investment. When Wusthof added a tomato knife to this line, I bought it even though I wasn't sure if I would like it or use it a lot. Now I recommend this 5-inch tomato knife to everyone. Its serrated edge hasn't needed sharpening ever, and it cuts, slices, dices, and chops fresh tomatoes so quickly. The forked tip is great for taking out the stem ends of tomatoes. I've never used my tomato knife on anything other than tomatoes, which is why I think it has stayed so sharp. I use my 8-inch serrated bread knife for slicing bagels and breads, and my 5-inch serrated utility knife for cutting citrus and other fruit. Also, I hand-wash and dry this knife and keep it stored in a wooden block.

The sharp, serrated blade of this knife cuts tomato and other fruit skins perfectly without squashing. The knife also works beautifully as a bar companion for cutting lemon wedges and for spearing cocktail onions or olives with its forked tip. Because of its portability, this tomato knife is also suitable for picnic and other outdoor food cutting.

Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wusthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners.
