This second bolster adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon has a unique forward bolster as well. The forward partial bolster is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade. Located in The Cutlery Capital of the World, Solingen Germany, the Wusthof factory history goes back as far as 1814 when the company was listed with the Duchy of Berg. To this day, the company remains family owned. Throughout it’s history, Wusthof has focused almost solely on the manufacturing of forged knives for the professional chef and home cooking enthusiast. Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

 "Good Value " 2008-04-17
By HEY GEE KAY (NE USA)
The knife set has been a good value for the price. I was a bit disappointed when I put them in the dishwasher and two of them had small rust spots, but they cleaned up well and are sharp. Not a bad deal for around $100.

 "blades very thin" 2008-02-13
By N. Armstrong (Orinda, CA USA)
The handles on these knives are very comfortable, and the non-serrated blades make a nice, clean slice. Unfortunately, the blades are very thin, and, in fact, the packages that I received had multiple broken knives upon arrival. (Amazon did immediately replace the broken ones.) I have found that I have to baby these knives while cleaning and storing since it is very easy to bend the tips. Too bad, because otherwise they would be perfect.

 "Bait and switch" 2005-12-07
By Richard Carlson (Orlando, FL)
Metro Kitchen sent me a MUCH cheaper set than the item pictured here. The blades we not forged, instead they were thin stamped metal (rather than widening at the base of the handle), and the blade did not even go completely through the handle. They did send me a "Gourmet Steak Block Set", however the picture they user on Amazon is not the same set, and is therefore completely misleading as to the quality. They unapologetically offered to take the item back if I PAID THE RETURN SHIPPING! I have obviously contacted my credit card company....



Your choice, but I woul NOT do business with Metro Kitchen if I were you.

 "Good Value Steak Knives" 2004-12-17
By D. Huddleston (From the Kitchen - USA)
Treat these knives as you would your best Wustoff and you'll be rewarded. If you store these in a wooden block or case, ocassionally run the blades against the sharpening steel and hand wash and immediately dry the blades, they'll stay sharp and last for years.



If you want your cutlery to last and perform, NEVER, EVER put your knives in the dishwasher. Regardless of the price, top notch knives are not designed to be washed in a dishwasher, period. Don't be a lazy bum!

 "8/12 HANDLES BROKEN" 2004-08-16
By E. ESCOBAR (Houston, Tx)
I purchased two sets of these knives for x-mas 2002. Within 3 months 6 out of twelve knives had cracks on the handles in the same place, by now 8/12 have cracks in the handles. We wash them in the dishwasher along with our other Wusthof knives and the other more expensive Wusthof knives have never had a problen. Also when washing these in the dishwasher the steak knives get rust stains on them that we have to polish by hand. I have been very dissapointed with the quality of these steak knives and will try to contact the company about the warranty.

 "Set of small paring knives" 2009-01-19
By P. Lawrence (Texas, USA)
Three wonderful small sharp paring knives which are incredibly sharp and great to use for a variety of small cutting tasks. This it the first time I have bought and used Wusthof paring knives, and I thought the ones I had were quite satisfactory until I used the Wusthof knives. I will never go back to using economy knives again - I have been spoiled.

 "Excellent knife set" 2008-11-26
By M. Domingo (maryland)
I bought this knife set mostly because i needed a paring knife. I also wanted the Wusthof brand since all of my other knives are that brand and have proved to be of superb quality.

The price is what attracted me to this set. I figured it would be better to get more knives for this price rather than one paring knife for about the same price. At first, wasn't convinced that I would use the other two knives with the set until I received them. Now i use the other two more than I use the paring knife. I use the curved knife for boning chicken theighs and for cutting the joints when I'm carving a whole chicken. Its the perfect size. The other utility knife I use for small cutting jobs like cutting a small piece of cheese for a snack or cutting the ends off of an apple, peeling an orange, or even cubing other veggies. These knives are very sharp and don't lose their edge easy. They are also very easy to sharpen. I recommend these to anyone!

By Felix Nazario (East Brunswick, NJ USA)
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.

 "The only knife set you'll ever have to purchase" 2007-09-30
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" 2007-07-26

 "It Cuts Like a Knife" 2009-09-13
By L. Boki (San Francisco, CA)
They are not the top of the line but respectable for a budding gourmet. Proof of their effectiveness can be found underneath the several bandaids I have had to wear since accidentally mishandling the bed knife once and a steak knife once.



What a joy to have decent knives to use in the kitchen. It helps to inspire me as a cook.



Great for the price and definitely do not put these in the dishwasher. I am proud to own, even if it is on the lower end of the spectrum, one of the finest knife collections currently on the market.

 "Wonderful Wusthofs!" 2009-08-23
By E. Rio (Inland Empire, California)
I went on a search for something of high quality at a reasonable expense. After some research I came upon Wusthof Knives. The absolute best is their "Classic" set, however I didn't want to spend that much money so I decided to try the "Gourmet" set. It came with a butcher block, steak knives and a free bamboo cutting board for less then $200. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and I recommend them to anyone. I literally threw away my old set and my beautiful Wusthof's proudly grace my new granite counter!

 "Good for <$200, but stickers are stupid" 2009-07-29
By J. Wright (Chicago, IL United States)
Forged steel was out of my price range, so I had to go with stamped. ($200 is enough for me, thank you.) The set is nice, a bit light, but good... EXCEPT FOR THE STICKERS. Yes, the red logos on the handles are--in fact--red pixelated laser printer stickers that get ruined in the wash. Get some Goo Gone and spend 20 minutes taking them off before washing the set. Of course, if you were paying for the brand... there is still the logo etched into some of the blades. :)

 "Remarkable" 2009-04-18
By O. SOLIS (SAN DIEGO, CA)
This is a must have set for any up coming chef, good steel, good weight and balance, perfect for cutting and chopping.

 "Good starter Wusthof set, but don't expect forged metal" 2008-12-09
By J. Soper (Jacksonville, Fl)
General thoughts: Decent set, Chef and Bread knives stand out. Stamped, not forged. Handles have a slighly cheap appearance. Scissors can be easily taken apart to be washed. Set has all the knives most people will need. If you are used to el-cheapo $25 knife sets, such as I was, these are a major upgrade and will probably keep most amateur chefs perfectly happy. But - not as good as the Classic series.



I went into a local store to buy a Classic set, and they were out. The salesperson pressured me to purchase this instead, and when I got home I decided I really wanted the Classics. I have decided to return these and upgrade even further (Classics cost around TWICE as much for a comparable set incl. steak knives).



However, despite the slightly cheap-looking handles, they appear to be perfectly decent kitchen knives. I didn't cut anything with them, but I did set them up on my counter, tested each one for balance, and ran my finger over the edges.



They look pretty good overall, although the tang only goes halfway through the knife, and it is even shorter on the two small paring knives (you can see where it stops about mid-handle). And the handle design gave them a bit of a cheap appearance. The block was solid.



I am not sure that I can comment on sharpness. I regret that I did not cut anything with them. The serrated Bread Knife was the only one that felt like it could cut me easily when I ran my finger down the blade. Some of them (particularly the steak knives) didn't feel very sharp, but that might not mean anything.



The Bread Knife and Chef's Knife were well balanced. The rest of the knives were handle-heavy, including the steak knives.



Bottom Line: Get a Classic (or Grand Prix) set if they are in your budget, but if they are not, this seems like a perfectly decent set. Wusthof is known for quality, so these would probably hold up well over the years.

 "Product fine...shipper sucks!" 2009-03-21
By Michael C. Jacobi (Katy, Texas, USA)
The Wustof Classic 8 Piece Knife set arrived! woo-hoo! But what is this? The outer-box the product arrived in from "ShopDealOnly" is crumpled, ripped and the packing tape is coming off! Yikes! I openes that box to find the Wustof box loose within and rattling around, no bubble wrap, or stuffing. Luckily, the Wustof box itself, containing the knives, and block, was packaged securely so the product is fine.

I do not recommend Amazon use this shipper,retailer again, I was lucky...this time.

 "nice knives, just one problem" 2009-01-09
By S. Magliocco
I owned an 8" wusthof che's knife and it was the best knife I've even owned. I got this block as a Christmas present and was very disappointed that the quality and weight of the chef's knife was not what I was used to. Overall very good, but not Wusthof's highest quality.

 "Weak edge retention!" 2008-08-22
By V. Nagy
My first set of quality knives. Well balanced, nice looking, but weak edge retention. Despite using bamboo as a cutting surface I have to resharpen them every week to keep a razor sharp edge. I was pretty satisfied with them until I tried a small Global utility knife, which was much sharper out of the box and maintained its edge way longer. Initially, I tried to convince myself that my Wusthofs still had some advantage in balance and weight, but as time passed I discovered that I was using them less frequently.

In comparison Wusthofs are made of a significantly softer steel and the quality of the edge does not even compare to the Globals. Believe me, there is a World beyond German knives that needs to be discovered. If my Globals worth 5 stars then these knives deserve only 3.

 "Great knife; expensive, but worth it" 2008-05-07
By Matt (Sterling Heights, MI USA)
The knife block itself has room for many other knives, and 6 steak knives. The knives themselves are extremely well made. The black handles with metal rivets are definitely a classic/elegant look, and the knives are incredibly sharp. Heavy and sturdy, these knives also hold their edge very well. My favorite knife is the 6" utility knife, because it's not too big, it can be used by men and woman alike (the 8" chef's knife may be a bit big for smaller women), and it's thin enough to get into smaller areas. The smaller 2 knives are greater for vegetable prep.

Definitely don't put these in the dishwasher. And make sure if you buy steakknives, to put them in EDGE UP... as the edge will wear down if you keep sliding the edge along the wood by putting them in edge down.

I already threw all my other knives out. Very happy!
