I was also very shy and hesitant about spending so much money on knives like the other reviewer.

However, after my wife complained about how dull the Ginsu knives that I bought for her were, I decided to take the plunge in to the luxury? or professional? (lack of a better term) knives world. Wow... from usability to finish, these knives simply blew the Ginsu knives out of the water.

I tried slicing a watermelon in half with the chef's knife and it just sliced right through without much effort. The Ginsu knife had me struggling to get the knife through. Tomatoes slice with extreme ease. Meats get sliced without much repetition. It makes me feel like Wolfgang Puck and look for things to slice and dice up.

I re-enact scenes from Emeril Live! talking like Emeril, "BAM" and slice away. It just brings me joy every time I use them. Every item in the set seems to be made with amazing care and detail. Each and every knife is blazingly sharp and I don't think my...Read more

I was shy about spending so much on knives. These are totally worth it!

I have never used knives so sharp; ever! The Chef's Knife has become my favorite. It has just enough rocking motion that it makes me feel like a pro (I'm not!). So far, every knife I've tried from this set can take on ripe tomatoes with ease. The Bread Knife tackles bread perfectly. The shears are awesome; they come apart for easy cleaning. I'm new to using a steel, but this addition really completes the set; I steel after every use now.

The only downside was the block had a defect; the top most slot had some wood partially blocking it. I contacted Wusthof's Support and they sent me a replacement for no charge. So -1 star for the defect, but +1 star for great service.
