Wusthof Gourmet 2-Piece Cutlery Utility Set

Product Review

The 2-Piece Gourmet Utility Set from Wusthof combines two incredibly useful kitchen tools in one convenient set. Wusthof's Kitchen Shears have an ingenious design that allows them to be taken apart for easy cleaning while the razor sharp blades make quick work of most tasks. The large handles are comfortable and provide great leverage. The 4-Inch Gourmet Paring Knife features a laser cut and hand honed blade with hardened steel construction. The precision ground edge lets you quickly and easily peel, slice, or core fruits and vegetables of all shapes and sizes. Made in Germany, the set comes with a lifetime warranty.

Country of Origin doubtful-Not marked Solingen Germany like other Wusthofs., May 9, 2011

This review is from: Wusthof Gourmet 2-Piece Cutlery Utility Set (Kitchen)

The picture shows the set with the markings Solingen Germany on the knife and scissor blades. My set is missing those markings. There are no markings anywhere on the knife or scissors that indicate where they are made. The box is missing that information, as well.

The knife is also missing the geometric design to the right of the blade markings.

The sticker on the handle has sharp square corners, while the picture on the Wusthof site shows a red square with rounded corners.

This makes me concerned that they are no longer made in Germany.

The knife did not pass the newspaper test when new, and cannot be sharpened to pass the newspaper test. It does not hold an edge as well as my older (German) Wusthofs.

There are at least three versions of this knife, all with the same number. Two say Solingen Germany, but are marked a little differently. They appear to come from two different factories. And the one with no country marking at...Read more

Have used the knife and scissors for several months now. both performing and holding up very well. hand-washing only, by choice. the picture shows a 4060/10 cm paring knife, but what comes is a 4022/8 cm paring knife. like i said, i like the 4022 just fine, but you are not getting what you think you are. the 4022 sells for 12.95 on amazon and the 4060 for 18.95. not that big a deal, but worth considering. the scissors are th 5888, as advertised.

Wanted a new pair of kitchen shears, and have had good luck with Wusthof in the past. Well the scissors are great, very sharp, crisp cutting, and when fully opened, the two sides come apart for easy cleaning every time.

As an added bonus, the small knife,(a touch smaller then average paring knife)if a great addition to our set too! Very sharp, feels great in the hand, and is perfect for quick small jobs such as dicing ham for omlettes, cutting cherry tomatoes, etc..

Both pieces are top notch for the price, and were well received as a gift by my wife, from me!
