Wusthof Grand Prix II 3-Piece Chef's Knife Set

 (10 customer reviews)

They cut masterfully. The mid-sized slicer is more useful than you would think. The chef's knife is superb. The paring knife is a little odd if you are used to other knives, but is good once you get used to it.

These knifes were purchased as holiday gift for my wife. I read several reviews of other knifes stating "just as good as a Wusthof". That's usually clue to purchase the original item. The 3 Wusthof knifes I bought feel like quality items and cut sharp with little effort - even my daughter commented how well balanced the knives felt when used. After using her new Wusthofs, my wife went through and culled out our older knifes, most stamped "Made in China". At this point in my life, I can afford to pay more for quality and I am very satisfied with my Wusthof purchase.

I wanted to get my friend/colleague a new chef's knife for his birthday. Amazon had this set on sale and I got three knives for the price of one. I've seen reviews saying that the handles are plastic and seem cheap, I disagree they are very nice in the hand(I kept the other two.lol). My colleague loves his chef knife. We work backstage catering and the knives get a workout . I own other wusthoff knives and they are the favorites in my kit.
