Product Description
Tough polypropylene handles with full, visible tangs and the traditional three rivets distinguish Classic knives from Wusthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise Classic knives are identical to other Wusthof knives, embodying all the virtues that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wusthof knife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. The blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as on some knives. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wusthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action.
This 7-inch santoku is a Japanese cook's (or chef's) knife, featuring a low-tip style with a broad blade. The cutting edge is minimally curved, so it provides less rocking action than a European-style cook's knife. For straight-down slicing and precise chopping, however, it's superb. Alternating hollows on each side of the blade create air pockets, allowing slices to fall away cleanly. This knife should be hand washed.

Wow! does not sum up the amazingness of these knives!
By Anderlecht
I was also very shy and hesitant about spending so much money on knives like the other reviewer.However, after my wife complained about how dull the Ginsu knives that I bought for her were, I decided to take the plunge in to the luxury? or professional? (lack of a better term) knives world. Wow... from usability to finish, these knives simply blew the Ginsu knives out of the water.I tried slicing a watermelon in half with the chef's knife and it just sliced right through without much effort. The Ginsu knife had me struggling to get the knife through. Tomatoes slice with extreme ease. Meats get sliced without much repetition. It makes me feel like Wolfgang Puck and look for things to slice and dice up.I re-enact scenes from Emeril Live! talking like Emeril, "BAM" and slice away. It just brings me joy every time I use them. Every item in the set seems to be made with amazing care and detail. Each and every knife is blazingly sharp and I don't think my wife nor I can ever go back to using other knives. The handles are very comfortable and I think it will last me a very long time.Now, if these knives only made me better at cooking. :)PROS:+ Very Sharp+ Pro Quality and Construction+ German Knife Engineering in da haus!+ Comes with 11 knives and knife blockCONS:- Price, but well worth every pennyIf your knives are dull and hate the performance of them and are sitting on the fence, the grass is greener and healthier on this side of the lawn. You won't regret it.

I was shy about spending so much on knives. These are totally worth it!I have never used knives so sharp; ever! The Chef's Knife has become my favorite. It has just enough rocking motion that it makes me feel like a pro (I'm not!). So far, every knife I've tried from this set can take on ripe tomatoes with ease. The Bread Knife tackles bread perfectly. The shears are awesome; they come apart for easy cleaning. I'm new to using a steel, but this addition really completes the set; I steel after every use now.The only downside was the block had a defect; the top most slot had some wood partially blocking it. I contacted Wusthof's Support and they sent me a replacement for no charge. So -1 star for the defect, but +1 star for great service.

Great knives
By Nicole Reitz
Knives are excellent - what you would expect for this price. Scissors are cheap and fell apart the first day.
