Summary: Great Multi-Purpose Set 2010-03-11
Comment: I got these knives on sale, and since I'm not keen on "block" sets of knives, this was a perfect set to have for all the multiple purposes you might need them for in the kitchen. I already had a nice butcher knife, and a bread knife, so the set is perfect. I do cook a lot, and have found that if I touch them up before each use, they are perfect and work just fine.

Summary: Very cheap, you get what you pay for. 2010-02-07
Comment: I was very exicted when I saw this set on Amazon's Daily Deals at a terrific price, but when I received them I was very disappointed. You would expect to get a better quality knife because it has "Wusthof" name on it, but this was not the case. The knifes were extremely light, NOT stainless steel, and I really had to look at the blades closely to make myself believe that they were real!! Save your money, but the real thing.

Comment: I love the knife set and was a great value at 69.00....however, I somehow thought they might would be a little sharper than they were. I really haven't gotten to use them as much as I would like, so for now I am leaving a 4 star review and may change it later.
