Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof Gourmet 5-Piece Essential Knife Set
Customer Review: Not the quality you would expect..
Summary: 3 Stars
I had mistakenly assumed that these were like my Classic Wusthof knives, but they are not even close. The blades are thin and I don't think forged (they are 'laser cut' [??]) and the tang does not run the full width of the plasticky handles. They are very light - not that good heavy-but-balanced-feel of the Classic series. They ARE sharp, however! My wife has already cut herself twice - a rare occasion. So, look closely at the picture, you can see that there is no steel bolster (part of the blade on the Classic as wide as the bottom of the handle) on these knives. Buyer beware, had I known what I was getting I wouldn't have bought these but instead more of the forged Classic or LamsonSharp lines (but the price was GOOD on these; what's that about the Poor Man Paying Twice?)...
