Wolfgang Puck 15 Piece Professional Quality Cutlery Set

This knife set is, by far, the best set I have used to date. They rival Viking, Trizor and Wusthof-Trident knives. Proper sharpening is key and do not place them in the dishwasher! The heat will damage the handles.

I have a very similar set of knifes to these (with less pieces, but same knifes). I just want to comment on some of the reviews I read so far.

1. These are high carbon steel knifes! They are not stainless steel! Meaning they will rust if you let water sit on them for a while. High carbon steel is much harder than stainless steel, but at the cost of being prone to rust. So if you simply cannot keep you knifes dry after each use, then do not buy high carbon steel knifes, because they will all rust(even the expensive ones)! Don't blame wolfgang puck, because i am sure the instruction booklet mentioned not using the dish washer with these sets(mine did), and too keep them as dry as possible!

2. Someone also mentioned that these knifes are not sharp. I don't quite understand that at all. These knifes were plenty sharp for me. I manage to cut myself easily on one, when I was cleaning it. They cut trough everything I throw at them. Now granted, I have never purchase a set of really expensive knifes, and maybe I just don't know how sharp expensive "sharp" knifes are, but these were wayyyy sharper than the cheap knifes I replaced them with.

3. Someone mentioned that they broke many blades in a short period of time, really? Because the chef knife blade is about 3 mm thick at the base, and I just don't see how you can break the blade under normal use. Maybe if you were using these as utility knifes in a work shop and you took a hammer to the back to pound them into something really hard, I can see it breaking. But even then it would be difficult, the blade is really thick, wayyyy thicker than most stamped knifes! Just go measure out 3 mm and you will see what i mean.

Yes, if you were to compare these to knifes that are few hundred dollars, well these are not as good, but at the price i paid for them, I am very happy with them.

These knives are well made. They are very nicely finished and weighted. The knife block is well finished as well. My only complaints are the shears are only useful for cutting meat or poultry (I like to use kitchen shears for opening packages, too) and the blades are not as hard as a high end knife, so they don't hold an edge as long. This is eaily remedied with a knife sharpener. With a few passes of my $11 AccuSharp knife sharpener they are as sharp as any Henckel. All in all, they are a great value at any price below $60.

I bought these knives for my brother and sister in law and they loved them. I visted them and used them myself I liked them so much that I bought a set. A friend recently visited me and used my set and he loved them too now he's going to buy a set! Compared to other knife sets out there these are a fair price and I have been very happy with them. I use them all the time.

Thanks for the suggestion of the Accusharp knife sharpener; while I use the steel on my knives I'm not the greatest pro with it.

Also, folks, keep your knives out of the dishwasher and out of the sink that will keep them sharp and usable for many, many years.

I purchased these knives as a gift for myself, and I am very pleased! These knives are great for every cooking need! I have two set of knives in the kitchen and I will not even look at the other set. I followed the directions and clean them after every use and do not put them in the dishwasher. If some did not follow the instructions that may explain the problems that they encountered.
