Customer Review: Superb Cutlery!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I started getting interested in cooking, I wanted to upgrade from my cheapo infomercial junk knives to "REAL" knives. After all, any task is much easier with the right tool, and when it comes to mainstream consumer high end kitchen knives, Wusthof is one of the top names in the game.
Now, I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, and when I make a purchase, I do research on the subject. If you still using cheap knives in your kitchen but contemplating your first "REAL" knives purchase, I can tell you I was there. I didn't really want to spend $100+ on knives, but I am so glad I did.
This is the two piece starter set, which consists of the 8 inch Chef knife and 3 1/2 inch parer knife. These two knives will do 80% of the work in your kitchen.
The 8 inch Chef knife, by far the most used knife in the kitchen. Man I love this thing. From slicing to dicing to mincing to chopping, it makes cooking so much more fun. In fact, I cook sometimes just so I can get to use this knife =) The balance on this thing is perfect. It feels like an extension of my hand
The 3 1/2 inch parer knife is used for things like cutting up fruit and other smaller tasks that the chef knife is too large for.
These knives are forged, not stamped like most knives you will find in the kitchen, meaning it was shaped from a single piece of steal, rather then being stamped out pre cut like cheap knives.
They have full tang, the blade is throughout the handle, giving you balance, while cheaper knives, the handle is just attached to the blade.
A word about the maintenance of these knives. It is recommended that you hand wash these and dry right away, instead of washing them in the dish washer. Like other fine tools, they need tender loving care. Dish washing these knives can damage them. After each use, or at least once a week, use a honing steal to hone your blade. Go to the Wusthof website, it shows you how to do that there and talks about proper care. Also, get them professionally sharpened once a year. Those electric sharpeners you find in stores are garbage, they grind too much metal off.
Oh, I have only one gripe. The red sticker on the handle comes of easily when washed. I would have liked Wusthof to have it painted on there at least.
I am currently looking to expand my Wusthof collection. I will probably look to get a Serrated bread knife, and kitchen sheers. I can no longer use inferior knives such as my infomercial junk, and neither will you once you buy these.
Description of Wusthof 9755Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter Set
This 2-pc. set is all you need to get started in the kitchen. If you're looking for the basics for food prep, each knife will work to your expectations and more, ensuring precision cutting, slicing and chopping. Set Includes: 3.5-in. Paring Knife 8-in. Cook's Knife Prized possessions of professional chefs, Wusthof knives are an invaluable asset of any kitchen. Every element of this renowned Classic cutlery contributes to its precision and ease of use. In Solingen, Germany, each piece is hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen. The high-carbon stainless steel blades are hardened to maintain a sharp edge and full tangs provide perfect balance with riveted, high-impact composition handles. Wusthof's newest state of the art technology incorporates a new computer controlled method for putting the edge on Classic knives. This technology allows for an exacting edge from the tip of the knife down to the heel of the knife. With this newer precision, the knives are made sharper to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees. The knives are now sharper and this refinement increases the sharpness retention because exacting angles and edges last longer than edges sharpened by hand. The result is a knife that is 30% sharper and the ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) lasts twice as long..Boxed Chef Sets
