Wusthof Culinar 10-Inch Super Slicer Wavy Serrated Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted to replace my cheap knife block set with a great one that can last a generation and found Wushtof Culinar Series to my liking. Initially, I thought the metallic handle could be slippery. So, I went to a local store and tested it and found it to be be very very grippy and solid to hold. I liked how these knives curve on the handle. That helps handle get a perfect grip in the hand.
This is a very long serrated knife and it works great to slice meats, bread and large items like watermelon. With our old bread knife, we could hardly cut the bread neatly without crushing it producing lots of bread crumbs. With this one, we are able to cut the bread like they do at bakeries. Perfect!
You will not regret spending money on this. You can avoid get a seperate bread knife and carving knife if you get this one.

This is the super slicer, a 10-in. long knife with a serrated edge that's ideal for slicing foot-long sandwiches or artisan-style breads that tend to be larger than most.

Its unique patented 18/10 stainless handle sets it apart from more traditional Wusthof knives, adding a contemporary elegance to a timeless, functional kitchen tool.

Wusthof Culinar 10-Piece Profile Knife Block Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.
The Wusthof Culinar line is an all stainless steel look, rather than a black handle. Although the picture and some descriptions want you to think this is a single piece knife, be advised that the hand is a separate piece of stainless steel molded onto the tang. I personally prefer the handle of the Grand Prix and Classic, because the grip is surer for me, but this is, to some extent, a matter of personal preference. This series "looks" more professional to some (like a Viking stove).
This set includes an 8 inch chef's knife, a 3 ½ inch paring knife, a 6 inch sandwich knife, 8 inch bread, a 5 inch salami, a 2 ¾ inch trimming knife, a sharpening steel, and an oak block
The 8 inch chef's knife is a great knife. Wusthof offers four sizes of chef's knives in the Classic version, 5, 6, 8 and 10 inch. For most home cooks, I think the 8 inch knife is the best choice. The 6 inch is a bit small for bigger jobs, but the 10 inch is too big for most jobs. While the 8 inch isn't perfect for all uses, if you are only buying one size chef's knife (and most people only buy one), this is the one I would recommend.
As for the 3 ½ inch paring knife, this knife falls into the category of overkill for me. Most cooks will get by just fine with the 4 ½ inch utility knife. There is really no notable difference in size for the vast majority of applications between the 3 ½ inch paring knife and the 4 ½ inch utility knife. I prefer the 4 ½ inch utility knife, but the 3 ½ inch paring knife will do the trick.
I have found very few uses for the 6 inch sandwich or 5 inch salami knives. I prefer the larger size of the chef's knife or the smaller 4 ½ inch utility knife. These knives are just the wrong width and length for most tasks, and falls into the overkill department, except when part of a set.
The 3 ¾ inch trimming knife, however, is a good length for small tasks, like trimming fat from cuts of meat.
The bread knife, is a great knife. Many people think tomatoes are the hardest food items to clearly cut. I think bread is much more difficult; but this knife makes the task seem easy. However, I prefer the 9 inch knife over the 8 inch included in this set.
When it comes to sharpening steels, I have found very little difference between Henckels and Wusthof. As long as you buy a high end steel, you really won't go wrong. Therefore, I shop for this item on price, and Henckels has a price advantage. However as the steel comes with the set, you won't go wrong with this steel.
This set is a good deal as far as price. However, keep in mind you really only get 7 knives. Adding the set of steak knives (which I consider a luxury, and not a necessity), will fill the remainder of the block.

Henckels Premio 14-pc. Metal Cap Knife Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought these because I needed something after I took a 3 month temp job and didn't want to move a lot of stuff. The knives are nicely balanced, but heavy - if you like a light weight set these are not for you. Their ability to remain sharp is in question - I have to use the steel pretty much every other use. In fairness- this is their recommended interval on the instructions but it would seem that they should hold an edge for longer than that. Two disappointments - they stain easily and often, tomatoes leave a noticeable stain that takes some work with a scouring pad to remove. Unless you wipe them immediately after use it will leave a mark. I haven't put them in the dishwasher - they're always hand cleaned but I'd be really reluctant to try the dishwasher after the staining issues I've had in normal use. The second is that although they're touted as being made from "Genuine Solingen Steel" (it was printed on at least one of the packages) they're in fact made in China.

Gunter Wilhelm Cutlery 250 Executive Chef 12-Piece Professional Knife Set with Wooden Storage Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these knives at Costco for a screaming deal. The entire 12 piece knife set was $279 and the add-on 7 piece steak knife set was an additional $75. This includes:
* Carving Fork
* 10" Meat Carving slicer w/dimples
* 9" Offset Bread knife
* 10" Chef Knife
* 10" Boning Knife
* Butcher's Cleaver
* 7" Asian Cleaver with dimples
* 7" Santoku with dimples
* 3.5" Paring Knife
* 10" Diamond Steel
* 10" honing steel
* 6 Steak knives
* 2 Wooden Knife Blocks
They are made of German forged 440C steel at a Rockwell hardness rating above that of the comparable Henckels and Wusthof, which means it will hold a sharp edge longer than those brands.
I was skeptical at first but after handling them and actually trying them out in the store, I was convinced it was a great deal. Plus, Gunter Wilhelm has a 30 day money back guarantee and Costco has a lifetime money back guarantee, so how could I go wrong?
Other than these knives being higher in quality than the competition, and other than them being a lot cheaper than the competition, I was also sold on the fact that Gunter Wilhelm has a *lifetime* guarantee on their knives. Should one break, crack, bend, chip, split, etc. in the lifetime that you own it, they will send you a new one FREE of charge, EVEN IF IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT. Now how can you beat THAT?
I've used the knives for about 3 weeks now and look forward to every time I pull one of these knives out of the block. They feel great in your hands, are razor sharp, are well balanced and are a joy to use. Just be careful, because they really are razor sharp. I barely (accidentally) brushed up against one of the blades and instantly drew blood.
To keep them razor sharp, use the honing steel prior to use every time. Just a few passes on each side will suffice.
As for customer service, I've called twice so far with questions about the knives and to state that I love them. Never was anyone rude to me like the other reviewer here has written. Don't believe him. It's a quality company with a quality product and I'm so glad I made the decision to purchase these knives.
I'd recommend them to anyone seeking a quality knife set.

Equally suited for an at-home cook as for a professional chef, this 12-piece knife set makes a useful addition to any busy kitchen. The high-quality knives feature precision-forged blades made of 440C German steel--a combination alloy made of high-carbon steel and stainless steel that sharpens easily, holds a razor-sharp cutting edge, and resists staining. Plus, the knives come sharpened all the way to the base of the blade where most cutting occurs, and their attractive Pakkawood triple-tang handles provide superior balance and an ergonomic grip for exceptional comfort and control. The set includes a 10-inch chef knife, a paring knife, a Santoku knife, an offset bread knife, and an Asian cleaver, as well as a 10-inch pointer slicer, a carving fork, a boning/fillet knife, a butcher's cleaver, and two sharpening steels (a 10-inch diamond steel and a 10-inch honing steel) that help keep the blades in good working order. Even more, the set provides a large wooden block that not only showcases the collection, but also safely and securely stores the knives when not in use. Using the knives on bamboo cutting boards works the best since bamboo won't warp, crack, or split, and it's naturally anti-bacterial. To clean, hand wash the knives with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse and dry immediately. The 12-piece knife set measures approximately 12 by 6 by 17 inches and carries a lifetime warranty.

Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Cook's Cutlery Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I normally do not like knife sets no matter the quality because you get stuck with a bunch of knives you simply do not need. As this set was given to me as a gift I am sort of stuck with it. I must say though that I have been quite happy with everything and really do not have that many complaints. I did find that the 8 inch bread knife was a bit sort for my particular taste; feeling as I do that these particular knives should be at least 10 inches long. I also immediately replaced the sharpening steel with a better grade ceramic one as they do such a better job.
These knives are without bulging bolsters which is good as they are a waste anyway and do nothing but interfere with the sharpening process. The balance is good and they came very sharp. They are rather easy to keep sharp. I did not like the visible tang that runs the length of the handle as that is just another bit of steel that has to we watched for rust and corrosion and is a bit of a gathering place for grunkies to breed.
The grip is comfortable and the knives to the job they are paid to do. The company certainly has a good reputation and these are certainly not bad knives per se....its just that had I purchased them I could not have purchased the entire set.
Overall I have to give this set four stars but please not that the removal of one star is more from personal preference than anything else. I think that most home cooks would delight in this set.
NOTE: They say these are "dishwasher-safe." No, no, no! NEVER EVER place your good cooking knives in the dishwasher nor should you was them in a sink with other utensils or dishes. This is a fast way to end up with dull blades. This is very, very bad and basically bad advice from the company here.

Wusthof Classic 8-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this as a wedding gift, and I was amazed at how much of a difference it makes in the kitchen! Good knives make cooking such an enjoyable experience, and Wusthof is well-known to be one of the best out there. The 8-piece set is perfect for people who want to start with a good set and build up on it. Of course I use the chef's knife the most, but I also use the bread knife and paring knife a lot too. I think a santoku knife would be a nice addition to this set, and perhaps steak knives would be wonderful to fill in the 6 slots on the bottom of the block, but in terms of practicality, I never feel like I need more than what I already have (but this is coming from a person who is a beginner in the kitchen). I have been using my knives for about 1 1/2 years now, and the knives are still as sharp as they were when we first bought it. I'm sure we will have to sharpen them eventually, but with good care I expect these to last a very long time.

Known worldwide for their superior performance, Wusthof knives are the cutlery of choice among many professionals and by discriminating amateur chefs. The Classic series features a traditional styling that makes it the most popular of the Wusthof lines. The blades are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon steel and a stain-resistant alloy so they retain their edge longer and are easier to resharpen. The blade is ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edge is then hand-honed for precision slicing. The sturdy feel of the knives is achieved by the weighted bolster, Wusthof's signature feature. The tang runs through synthetic handles and is secured with three rivets.
This eight-piece set has all the kitchen cutlery basics for everyday use. The set includes an 8-inch chef’s knife, a 6-inch sandwich knife, an 8-inch serrated bread knife, a 4-1/2-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. A pair of kitchen shears and a 9-inch sharpening steel complete the set. Everything fits neatly into the rubber-footed oak block, which has space to add six more steak knives and two more prep knives.
What's in the Box 8-inch cook's knife; 6-inch sandwich knife; 8-inch serrated bread knife; 4-1/2-inch utility knife; 3-1/2-inch paring knife; kitchen shears; 9-inch sharpening steel; rubber-footed oak block with eight extra slots.

Wusthof 9755Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.
The Wusthof Classic line is the more conservative counterpart to the Grand Prix line. The only difference, however, is the handle style. I personally prefer the Grand Prix, but this is an issue of personal preference. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. For those wondering what benefits a higher priced knife provides, one benefit is that the blade (or tang) is one piece all the way through the handle. This makes the blade much stronger, and less likely to snap.
This set includes an 8 inch chef's knife, and a 3 ½ inch paring knife.
The 8 inch chef's knife, is a great knife. Wusthof offers three sizes of chef's knives, 6, 8 and 10 inch. For most home cooks, I think the 8 inch knife is the best choice. The 6 inch is a bit small for bigger jobs, but the 10 inch is too big for most jobs. While the 8 inch isn't perfect for all uses, if you are only buying one size chef's knife (and most people only buy one), this is the one I would recommend.
As for the 3 ½ inch paring knife, this knife falls into the category of overkill for me. Most cooks will get by just fine with the 4 ½ inch utility knife. There is really no notable difference in size for the vast majority of applications between the 3 ½ inch paring knife and the 4 ½ inch utility knife. I prefer the 4 ½ inch utility knife, but the 3 ½ inch paring knife will do the trick for most tasks.
This set is a good deal; however, if compiling a set myself, I would include the chef's knife and the 4 ½ inch utility knife. Judge for yourself.

Wusthof 979783 Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If, like some pros, you like to grip the top of the blade between your thumb and index finger, forward of the bolster, and wrap the rest of your fingers around the handle, this knife is hard to beat. Such a grip is said to give better control, straighter cuts, and narrower slices than wrapping all fingers around the handle allows.
Yesterday I took a knife-handling techniques course offered by a Wusthof rep at a local shop and was amazed by how quickly this knife turned carrots, celery, and nearly anything else into neat slices and chunks. Using the grip described above, one merely rolls the knife back onto the item being cut, lifts the back only, and repeats, sliding the food into the knife. The front of the blade merely rolls and slides on the cutting board, and is never lifted. (Compared to this, the instructor said my lift-and-chop technique was fairly effective, but abusive! *L*) With this knife, you could cut a carrot or celery into neat, thin little slices in less time than it takes to lift the lid off your food processor and get ready to clean it.
I've got other good knives - prior to this knife, I already owned Henckels 4-star 6" chef's and fillet knives, a Henckels Pro-S 3" paring knife, and a Wusthof hollow-edge santoku (another awesome tool). The Henckels knives are excellent quality, but do not lend themselves to the forward grip; I tried it with my Henckels chef's knife and found that the forged bolster felt sharp-edged when I gripped the blade this way. Make no mistake - the Henckels is an excellent knife and works well, albeit with slightly less control, when all fingers are wrapped around the handle. The Wusthoff knife has a shallower transition fillet from blade to bolster and lends itself to either grip. I'd chosen the 6" Henckels because it felt well-balanced gripping the handle alone, while the 8" seemed heavier and less agile, but with the proper grip the 8" Wusthof Classic is balanced just right. The Wusthof Grand Prix, like the Henckels, tends to encourage an all-fingers-on-handle grip, though the bolster region may be more finger-friendly. I used to look longingly at Grand Prix knives, but last night's class sold me on the benefits of the Classic handle.
Needless to say, after giving it such a thorough tryout I took this knife home with me!

Combining Emeril Lagasse's expertise in the kitchen and Wusthof's engineering of knives, Emeril Pro Cutlery kicks it up a notch with some of the most beautiful and functional knives on the market. Contoured to give you more knuckle room while slicing, this 8-inch off-set slicing knife is great for slicing fruits and vegetables and carving large cuts of grilled or roasted meats and poultry. The scallops on the blade help the knife easily cut through meats and reduce food sticking to it.
Precision-forged from high carbon stainless steel, the blade displays the traditional lines of the Wusthof Classic series, but has undergone additional polishing and grinding for exceptionally sharp and balanced cutlery. A gently rounded blade spine also prevents chafing of fingers. The unique mahogany handle is made of Micarta, which is constructed of very thin layers of linen impregnated with resins to form a strong, yet beautiful design. The flared design locks your hand forward so you have precise control while cutting.
Made in Solingen, Germany--The Cutlery Capital of the World--Wusthof knives are made from a special blend of German steel and each blade is precisely tempered, which allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen without the need to be sent away for maintenance.
Generally, the construction technique and the materials used to manufacture make all Wusthof knives dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended. Wash your knives with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Corrosive food particles will not affect your blade if washed off directly after use. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Deli Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I put off puchasing this knife for a long time, I knew I wanted it and it would make sandwich cutting a bit easier and I wouldnt bang my knuckles on the board anymore, but I procrastinated and put it off.
Now that I have this knife, I am disapointed I allowed myself to wait this long. This knife is amazing. It is not just a fancier version of the bread knife. This thing is in a whole different class when it comes to cutting breads. My old bread knife (also a Wushtof) is like trying to use a butter knife when compared to using this one. Add to that the benefit of it being more comfortable and the offset making it easier to use, and you have a real winner in this knife.
This knife puts a regular bread knife to shame and, unlike your bread knife, can be used for more than just cutting bread. The name Deli Knife is perfect for this knife. It cuts cheeses and hard deli meats effortlessly. It will blaze through a tall deli sandwich effortlessly without crushing it. Cuts soft and crusty breads with ease.
The only drawback I found with this knife is that it wont fit in the slot in my knife block that has now been vacated by my bread knife.
Unbelievably, this knife is now one of my favorites.

Wusthof 4109-7 Classic 5-Inch Tomato Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I began collecting Wusthof-Trident Classic knives twenty years ago, I chose the basics first: cook's knives, parers, slicers, utility knives, steak knives, boning & filet knives. I acquired them one or two at a time, always on sale, because this cutlery has been an expensive investment. When Wusthof added a tomato knife to this line, I bought it even though I wasn't sure if I would like it or use it a lot. Now I recommend this 5-inch tomato knife to everyone. Its serrated edge hasn't needed sharpening ever, and it cuts, slices, dices, and chops fresh tomatoes so quickly. The forked tip is great for taking out the stem ends of tomatoes. I've never used my tomato knife on anything other than tomatoes, which is why I think it has stayed so sharp. I use my 8-inch serrated bread knife for slicing bagels and breads, and my 5-inch serrated utility knife for cutting citrus and other fruit. Also, I hand-wash and dry this knife and keep it stored in a wooden block.

This handy knife makes short work of peeling small lemons and limes, zipping through Kaiser rolls and baguettes, and slicing German sausage???in addition to doing a superb job of slicing tomatoes. In other words, this is the perfect knife for sweeping through double-textured foods with hard exteriors and delicate interiors.Made of nearly-rigid, scallop-edged, no-stain steel, the 5-in. blade has a nice, two-pronged tip for spearing and transferring new slices from board to plate; its full tang contributes balance and leverage.Wusthof's newest state of the art technology incorporates a new computer controlled method for putting the edge on Classic knives. This technology allows for an exacting edge from the tip of the knife down to the heel of the knife. With this newer precision, the knives are made sharper to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees. The knives are now sharper and this refinement increases the sharpness retention because exacting angles and edges last longer than edges sharpened by hand. The result is a knife that is 30% sharper and the ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) lasts twice as long.

Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Super Slicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great all-around slicer. We've used it on very soft, moist cakes and breads - both soft and crusty.
But, thanks to a sharp edge and the length, it does a great job on meats. It breezes right through a London Broil and does a beautiful job slicing up an entire beef tenderloin into individual filet mignons. Sharp enough and long enough that you can usually complete a cut in a single stroke, providing a cleaner cut. I even tried it on a turkey last Thanksgiving and it worked great.
One really nice feature of this blade over many other slicers (including some other Wusthofs) is that it is scalloped on only one side, so you can still take it to a steel between professional sharpenings.

Imagine having a knife that can do it all. The Wusthof Classic super slicer has many different uses. As a bread knife, the reversed scalloped edge provides a gentle cut that allows you to cut thinner slices. As a pastry knife, you can cut thin layers of cake cleanly. As a roast slicer, the gentle edge will cut without the ripping and tearing of the typical serrated style knife.

Wusthof Classic 5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In Europe, this knife is called the "sausage" or "brunch" knife. Since Americans don't usually cut baguettes or weisswurst as part of making lunch, however, Amazon has chosen to call this what it is - the serrated utility knife.
Name notwithstanding, the edge on this knife is the same as the one on the Wusthof tomato and bread knives, and the knife does in fact do splendidly on tomatoes (which aren't too terribly different from sausage) and crusty bread (as long as it is skinny french bread - get an 8-inch knife for the hefty american stuff).
Where this knife truly excels, however, is cutting citrus. The blade is long enough to handle grapefruit, and the scalloped edge will cut even kumquats and key limes without crushing the pulp.
So, I would have called this the citrus knife (or, maybe, the "soft things with a hard skin" knife). While mine doesn't get used as often as the paring or chef's knife, it's among our kitchen's top-five.

Wusthof Culinar 9-Inch Bread Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.
The Wusthof Culinar line is an all stainless steel look, rather than a black handle. Although the picture and some descriptions want you to think this is a single piece knife, be advised that the hand is a separate piece of stainless steel molded onto the tang. I personally prefer the handle of the Grand Prix and Classic, because the grip is surer for me, but this is, to some extent, a matter of personal preference. This series "looks" more professional to some (like a Viking stove).
This particular model, the bread knife, is a great knife. Many people think tomatoes are the hardest food items to clearly cut. I think bread is much more difficult; but this knife makes the task seem easy.
I highly recommend the Wusthof 9" bread knife.

Only a blade with a serrated edge slices effortlessly through crispy baguettes, crunchy bread, and even crusty roasts. The precision forged blade, bolster, and tang are married to a hand-sculpted handle of the finest 18/10 stainless steel with an elegant satin finish.Wüsthof knives offer a harmonious blend of precision cutting performance, integrity of materials, safety, and comfort. The knife is hot-drop forged by hand from a single blank of high carbon no-stain steel, a specially alloyed surgical steel consisting of exacting proportions of carbon, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. The blade is perfectly tapered from bolster to tip, and from the back of the blade to the edge, and is honed by hand. Perfect balance is assured by the full extension of the tang through the length of the handle. A seamless fit at the bolster prevents food particles from entering.Size: 9"Dimensions: blade: 9"LMaterials: High carbon steel blade with 18/10 stainless steel handleCare: Dishwasher safe, although hand washing with a mild detergent is recommendedProduct of Solingen, Germany
