"Wustof are all made in Germany. Henckels also made elsewhere, need to check. Among finest knives anywhere. German knives formerly used 18 degree edge angle, plenty sharp. Now use 14 degrees, IMO too acute. Yes, they slice beautifully--both food & hands.Lawry's is finest beef restaurant in Los Angeles. Their trained slicers use knives with 22.5 degree angle (half of 45), cut rare beef easily. Anything less than 20 or at best 18 degrees is unnecessary, makes knives more likely to cut user, makes edge more likely to roll if hit tough item. Maybe it's an attempt to mimic Japanese knives with narrow edge angles. But they cut small pieces of raw fish, not think slices of beef. Daniel Winckler, noted custom knife maker, uses 18 degrees for his personal knives. Cold Steel, bargain knife maker, uses 22 degrees and up. So 14 degrees is clearly not needed. Must straighten rolled edges with sharpening steel every week or two. And rolled edges seem dull - what did they gain?Bottom line: Wusthof knives are excellent, but I wish they had remained with 18 degree edges."

Received this set as a holiday gift, very happy with included knives. I am an experienced home cook and my old knives left a lot to be desired… finally, I got new ones. The knives arrived boxed and very well packed. Upon inspection, everything was without damage. The knives are very sharp, balanced, and a true pleasure to use. If you are not sure which one is best for a task at hand, watch Wusthof promos and other YouTube videos where professional chefs give great knife usage tips and food cutting demonstrations. They are very helpful. I am particularly happy a honing steel is part of this 9-piece set, ensuring your knives stay well-maintained and sharp. The acacia wood block is very stable due to its low profile. It is very polished and handsome. Make sure you shake out the freshness preservative packets stuffed inside (I used chopsticks to push them out of narrow spaces inside the block).Anonymous

Review for Wusthof Classic 15 piece Knife block set:Quality knife set made of forged steel not stamped with full tang, good weight and balance. These knives glide through meat and vegetables with ease and make meal preparation so much faster and easier. Good selection of knives for your cooking needs. The only thing missing is a carving knife but it provides the essentials which are well made and comfortable to use. I am very pleased with the Wusthof Classic.tee
Besides very expensive, not problem at All

I've owned several knife block sets over the years — some decent, some disappointing — but this WÜSTHOF Classic 15-piece set blows them all out of the water. From the moment you hold one of these knives, you can feel the difference in quality. The weight, balance, and sharpness are all exactly what you'd expect from a premium brand.Every knife in the set feels purpose-built, not just thrown in to fill a block. The chef’s knife and paring knife have become my go-to tools for daily cooking, and the included honing steel is a great touch to help keep the edges razor sharp. Even the steak knives are a cut above what most sets offer.The block itself is sturdy and looks beautiful on the counter — a great mix of function and aesthetics.After trying other well-known brands, I can honestly say WÜSTHOF has set the bar. Worth every penny if you take your cooking seriously or just want something that performs and lasts.What Customers Talk About
