Wusthof 8845 Grand Prix II 7-Piece Block Set

My wife and I both use these an absolutely love them. We were replacing a set of J.A. Henckels knives that we've had for probably 10 years.

We were happy with the knives being replaced, but they had riveted handle slabs that were beginning to come loose (one handle slab on our chef's knife eventually fell off, prompting us to seek replacements). Due to the failure of our other knives, we wanted knives with either integral handles (just the metal) or expoxied handles. Would have preferred the former, but the reviews and price for these were good enough that we decided to try them.

We did not expect such a tremendous difference between these and our old knives with respect to their sharpness. I don't know if our old knives were EVER this sharp (we routinely used the steel and occasionally a knife sharpener made for kitchen knives). With our old knives, my wife had started to buy NY strip roasts and filet roasts that were already trimmed because removing the silver skin, etc. was too difficult. These knives have totally changed that really cut through those materials very easily. I had resorted to using an electric knife to cut roasts, briskette, etc. but now use the chef's knife that came with this set slices through them with very little effort (and without tearing up the meat).

My only (perhaps unfounded) concern is that the epoxy used on the handles will eventually wear out, making me regret not holding out for integral handles. Nothing about the knives indicates that this will be the case, however.

I always figured good kitchen knives would be a little better-maybe hold their edge slightly better, sharpen up a tad bit more, etc, but these things really surprised the heck out of me. Its like cutting everything with a razor blade and a huge improvement over generic knives. You will see the difference. I freak out now if someone else uses them, and heaven forbid they put one in the sink!!!!
