Getting a Quality Knife Set for the Ages

With a history covering nearly two centuries, Wusthof keeps providing people with high-quality kitchen knives and shears, pocket knives, and other accessories. Headquartered in Solingen, Germany, Wusthof continues to be under the control of the same family and now employs more than 350 workers, every one of whom, one could presume are committed to keeping any Wusthof knife set as sharp as its reputation.

Product Lines

The Wusthof knives are produced by two methods – forging for Wusthof’s higher-quality line and stamping for the more affordable line. As a result, depending on your income, you can enjoy being the very pleased owner of a set of world-famous Wusthof knives albeit having varying levels of sharpness.

The forged knives are used for the Classic, Ikon, Classic Ikon, Le Cordon Bleu, Culinar, Grand Prix, and Grand Prix II lines while the stamped knives come from the Gourmet, Emeril, and Silverpoint lines. You will see a obvious difference between forged and stamped blades in each expensive knife collection, with knife connoisseurs preferring forged knives all the time to be used as their chef’s knives. Stamped knives are normally only recommended for steak and paring knives.

Whatever Wusthof knives set you select, though, every one of their knives are comprised of 15 percent chromium, 0.5 percent carbon, and a small amount of molybdenum. Together with the company logo – a trident in a circle against a red background – Wusthof blades are very different from thier competitors’ products.

Advantages

At the risk of sounding like a sales hype for Wusthof, this group of knives have been proven year after year to be just about the most exceptional blades on the market. Confirmation of this statement is Wusthof knives are the favorite blade of professional chefs including Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and James Martin, while also being routinely voted among the the best performing knives by Consumer Reports and Cook’s Illustrated.

For home users, the slip-proof traditional handle is suited nicely to various hand sizes so consequently helps many guests or spouses to feel comfortable working with the knives in your set. Predictably, these knife blades are particularly sharp and practically never rust, stain or dull. More than any other issues, world-class craftsmanship and materials are the main aspects of a quality knife.

Disadvantages

The one thing that could turn off the non-professional from purchasing a Wusthof knife set would be Wusthof’s high price. With the cheapest set of low-end Gourmet paring knives is priced at $35, you will easily encounter different knife brands with more knives for similar prices. For the high-end lines, $300 is peanuts.

Also, Wusthof makes series that have thinner-than-is-comfortable handles such as the Wusthof Classic. Obviously, men are more concerned with this problem because of their larger hands. Additionally, certain cooks do not prefer a stainless steel handle, and would rather use the polypropylene type.

For the most part, Wusthof knife sets can offer substantial quality for the cost. It cuts very nicely and sharply as all high-quality knives should, does the job for generations as Wusthof has done, and seems very professional when placed on your countertop. With a product like this, you may decide to purchase one more set as a gift for newlyweds.

Dire Straits $4.92 By the mid-’80s Dire Straits were a platinum band dismissed in their native England as safe, yuppie rockers, yet the original quartet’s lean, guitar-driven music struggled to find a label home when first recorded in 1978.
