Wüsthof Gourmet 18-Piece Knife Block SetRepresenting Wüsthof’s Gourmet series of knives, this block set features less expensive versions of the knives in the manufacturer’s Classic series. Knives in the set include an 8-inch cook’s knife, an 8-inch carving knife, a 6-1/2-inch santoku, an 8-inch bread knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, a 4-1/4-inch tomato knife, a 4-inch utility knife, a 3-inch paring knife, six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, a 6-inch kitchen fork, kitchen shears, and a 9-inch sharpening steel. Everything fits within the 17-slot rubber-footed oak block. Although the blades are still made of high-carbon steel with a stain-resistant alloy, the difference in the Gourmet series is that the blade is a thinner quality metal and is cut by a precision laser instead of by hand. The blade still has an ideal shape as it is ground and polished by computer to ensure perfect tapering from tip to bolster. Full tangs extend through the synthetic traditional-style handles, which are triple-riveted for strength. These knives are dishwasher-safe but handwashing is recommended to preserve the edges on the blades. The Gourmet series is an excellent alternative for those who want to own quality Wüsthof cutlery but are on a budget. –Cristina Vaamonde

Perfect set of high end entry knives by Felix Nazario
In the one month I have owned these knives, I have to say, they are truly a well-balanced, sharp looking, and sharp cutting set of knives. These knives replaced my stainless steel every day name brand knives and they have by far out performed the US made knives. I highly recommend these knives.
Great knives by D. Price
These knives are great. Sharpest knives I have ever used. They cost less than its comparables and work perfectly. I see myself using these knoves for the rest of my life.
The only knife set you’ll ever have to purchase by DH
If you’re willing to pay this kind of money, you expect great knives. These won’t disappoint. They did feel a little light at first, but after using them a few weeks it feels light, but solid and well balanced. The edges are phenomenal if you’re upgrading from a cheap set.
Be sure to take good care of them, handwash only! And be sure to dry immediately. Learn how to properly use the steel, and these will last you a lifetime!
Paying for the more expensive sets (Classic line) isn’t worth it in my opinion. The knives feel about the same, but the Classic line is supposedly made with higher quality metal and is “hand-forged.” But “hand-forged” really means that there’s some guy that tells a machine to forge it. Wusthof employees certainly aren’t over in Solingen with a hammer and tongs over the anvil!
If you can afford these knives, it’s not a purchase you will regret. There are definitely more knives than I need, but I will never wish I had just bought the next set up.
Great knives! by Ms. Allison L. Hayes 
These knives are wonderful! Cut through anything with ease. I highly recommend.
