Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wusthof Silverpoint 3-Piece Paring Knife Set
Customer Review: Might be better to buy one pretty good paring knife, instead
Summary: 2 Stars
It's hard to turn down anything with the name "Wusthøf" when it looks like a bargain -- at least, it's hard for me. And the idea of three speciality paring knives certainly appealed. Nevertheless, the low price caused me to lower expectations to a level that I thought would be realistic. I didn't lower them enough.
The knives have no heft at all. The blades seem terribly flimsy. Grasping the light plastic handles provides no sense of control. These aren't impossible to use; i simply make a point of using almost anything else.
Thinking it over, I probably knew that this deal sounded too good to be true, even with the Wusthøf name on the package. Instead of buying three mediocre to poor knives at this price, it would be better to put the money towards a single pretty good paring knife.
Description of Wusthof Silverpoint 3-Piece Paring Knife Set
The Silver Point line by Wusthof is opening value for the Wusthof line. These knives us the same steel as our higher end lines but a manufactured using a stamped blade process. All Wusthof knives carry a lifetime warranty on manufactures defects and materials. With a history of making knives for over 190 years our warranty out lives our customers. This silverpoint set of 3 paring knives includes a 3" paring knife, 3" vegitable parer and a 2.5" birds beak peeling knife.This set of three paring knives offers one of each style to cover the gamut of a busy kitchen?s paring requirements. The tapered 3-inch spear-point parer is useful for smaller cutting tasks that require excellent control, such as de-stemming strawberries, coring tomatoes, or trimming green beans. The 3-inch sheep?s foot parer has a straight blade and blunt tip that is good for slicing and dicing small vegetables, such as garlic or green onions. Finally, the curved 2-1/2-inch bird?s beak parer hugs the surface of round fruits and does a wonderful job of peeling apples or pears.
These parers are part of Wusthof?s Silver Point series of knives, which caters to chefs on a tighter budget. While the knives are still manufactured in Germany of high-carbon stainless steel, the blades are thinner than those of other Wusthof lines and are stamped rather than forged of a single piece of metal. The edges, however, are still laser-tested like more expensive Wusthof knives to ensure a long-lasting sharp edge and uniform cutting. All knives have synthetic handles that provide a comfortable ergonomic grip. These knives are covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
