Too cheap, look else where, February 7, 2010

This review is from: Wusthof Silverpoint II 14-Piece Knife Set with Block (Kitchen)

We purchased these after friends recommended Wusthof over Henckels because 'Wusthof doesn't make a cheap knife.' Well, I know these are the bottom of the line, but they where disappointing. The knives where flimsy, light and felt & looked cheap. We ended up returning them and spending a bit more money for a set of Henckels where were forged instead of cut, resulting in a higher quality knife (at the same price, the Wusthofs where still laser cut). It seems at this price you'd be better off spending a bit more money and looking at a different set.

I have been researching knives for awhile and chose the Wusthof because of the product description. After I received them, I wish I had gone with the more popular knive sets because although they are sharp, they are also light and the handles look cheap. I am still debating if I want to send them back for a different set. I would not recommend them if you want the complete package of sharpness, weight, appearance.

Razor sharp, but flimsy - would not buy again., August 6, 2011

I've had these knives for about a month now and can I would not recommend these to anyone for the following reasons:

- blade is so thin & flimsy that it feels almost like it's going to snap off in your hand if you cut thru anything dense like a potato, watermelon, beef ribs, etc.

- if you forget for one moment to wash by hand and dry right away - rust will appear! i have CHEAP knives that don't rust so quickly

- feels too lightweight in the hand

Perhaps I got what I paid for.
