Wusthof Classic Ikon 8-Piece Block Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For some time I wanted some really good chefs quality knives. After doing quite a bit of research and holding several different knives in upscale stores, I settled on the Wusthof Ikon Creme - and I'm very glad I did. These knives are super sharp, well balanced, and great looking. There are three different handles available in the Wusthof Ikon knives, and I chose the Creme as a personal preference.
My advice is to hold several top quality knives like these in your hand. You will notice the difference in quality in different kinds of Wusthof, Henckels, and other top name knives. You can then decide for yourself.
These knives are fantastic and will be used in my kitchen for a very long time.

The Classic Ikon adds a rear bolster that acts as a counter balance when using the knife, which adds significant blade control. Classic Ikon also has a unique forward bolster, which is designed so you can sharpen the complete length of the blade. This bolster is also curvered inwards to allow your fingers greater control while holding the knife by the blade.

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. Wusthof also employs a unique compound angle that tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge.
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.

Mundial 5100 Series 10-Piece Knife Set with Block, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was contemplating spending almost double the price paid for this cutlery on a similar Wusthof or Henckels 10 piece set. After receiving the knives I am glad I did not. These knives are of excellent quality and sharpness. After researching this product I expect exceptional durability of the edge. I can see no difference in the quality of this set compared to the other premium branded knives. I believe the only difference is that the other brands are more well recognized by the "Williams-Sonoma" home chef and as such command more market price. The maker of these knives originated from Germany then moved to Brazil, so you are still getting the manufacturing quality associated with that region. I have big hands, this particular line, while comfortable, could have a slightly larger handle if you are of similar size. Smaller to average-large hands should adjust to the handle contours well.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 8-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the 3rd set of Henckels I've owned. I sent the first set to the local cutlery store for sharpening and they came back with a different personality. Didn't cut like Henckels anymore. Really disappointed. In search of a replacement set, I got the lower end Twin Signature 11pcs set. It was stamped, not forged. They cut well, but the knife felt cheap compared with the real forged Henckels.
I am really satisfied with this Four Star set. Feels solid, even weight distribution from front to back, and cuts like butter. My friend has a set of Twin Crusine which is so well built that ended up being too heavy in the back. Feels like I am just about to lose control and dropped the knife. Gives me the insecure feeling that I might cut myself trying to overcome the Twin Crusine under control.
One thing I learn this time.... make good use of the sharpening steel. I finally got the courage to learn how to use the sharpening steel with the correct angle and position, it worked so well. Sharpen my other Henckles knife back to nearly new condition.

LamsonSharp 16-Piece Forged Knife Block Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great knives. Very sharp. Well made and balanced knives. The only issue is that the steak knife slots in the block were not cut quite deep enough, so the knives do not go all the way into the block. They are all even, but not quite as deep as they seemingly should be. This is a trivial matter, and does not detract from these fabulous knives at a great price for the American made quality.

Saber SKS Pro Chef 11-Piece Professional Knife Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered the 11 piece set sans chef bag. Have a built in knife block so no need. The knifes are very good quality. Bought an Ikea chef knife just to compare and the Saber knifes are noticable higher quality. Only concern was it appeared that someone simply repackaged the knife and chef bag combo, because once I opened the Amazon box, there was a plane box inside with the knifes. The box had no identifying makings, and there was no information on the knifes, or anything that identified the manufacturer. Heck, I at least expected a warantee card. After sleeping on it and doing a little research, I'm willing to bet that someone separated the knife set from the chef bag. I checked on the Saber web site and they don't offer the 11 piece set separate from the bag. Still worth the price, just don't expect anything but the knives.

Providing professional-grade cutlery at a price an apprentice can afford, this 11-piece knife set makes a smart choice for any busy kitchen. The set includes a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, a 4-1/2-inch paring knife, a 5-inch French boning knife, a 6-inch utility knife, a 7-inch Santoku, and an 8-inch bread knife, as well as an 8-inch slicer, an 8-inch chef knife, a 10-inch chef knife, a 10-inch ham knife, and a 10-inch sharpening steel to help keep the blades in good working order. The knives come fully forged (not stamped or cast) from a single piece of proprietary German steel and go through a 38-step manufacturing process that includes heat treating and cryogenic freezing to ensure blade stability and maximum sharpness. Each knife also features a comfortable handle, a full tang with bolster for exceptional strength and superior balance, and a scalloped edge (granton edge) that creates fine air pockets between the blade and the food being cut to minimize drag and improve efficiency. The professional knife set measures 18 by 4 by 4 inches and carries a lifetime warranty.

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.

Gunter Wilhelm Cutlery 201 Executive Chef 11-Piece Professional Knife Set with Wooden Storage Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought these knives from a local Warehouse club store when Gunter Wilhelm (GW) had a booth set up. They caught my eye because they looked identical to my wife's x-favorite knife made by Hammer Stahl (HS). It turns out that GW were the original inventor of these knives and HS copied them. When you compare the 2, the GW knives are bigger, heavier, heftier, more solid and made with better materials. GW knives are incredibly made, very sharp and high quality. They allowed me to trade the old HS knife with a GW knife. These are the best high quality knives you can get for the $. I have to say GW is ' a cut above the rest'. Sorry..
My only complaint is that they have to be hand washed, but most high end knives have the same requirement.

when it comes to engineering the germans have always come out on top
so when when choosing a knife set it came down to henckle, wusthof and
messermeister all worthy contenders steeped in a rich tradition of forged
steel knife making since the early 1800's. what ultimately impressed me
with messermeister was that they did not compromise their reputation by
outsourcing their product to international knife making markets outside
of germany in order to gain popularity.

Global G888/91ST 9-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used Global knives professionally as a Chef/Restauranteur and at Home for many years. I still have the first Global I ever bought the 11" Forged Chefs Knife it has done alot of serious cutting and still looks new. I have many more now but that was my first Global and what a knife it is.
The ergonomics and looks alone would sell these knives but couple that with their edge holding and incredible sharpness and they are truly the Ferrari of knives. They offer a perfect nonslip grip for any size hand and the balance and light weight make using them a a breeze. Also the metal storage block not only looks cool but will not dull your knives like a wood block does. BONUS.
Considering that you will be passing on these knives from generation to generation the cost should not be a serious concern. There are no handles or bolsters to break (or gather germs) they are one piece of perfectly balanced steel. If you take reasonably good care of these knives they will last you a lifetime of hard use and your kids lifetime too. My Globals have chopped, peeled and sliced for literally hundreds of thousands of people. I seriously doubt most of you will put them through that. But it is good to know that they will take it in stride.
I even take mine on vacation with me, not all of them just the basic kit I refuse to cook without them. We take long vacations and know we eat better at the rented home or villa than at most of the restaurants in what ever area we are in. One of the perks of being a Chef, don't worry we still give the finer eateries a spin it is a vacation after all. The locals have to eat too!
You will thank yourself everytime you use these knives, if you know a foodie you really care for get them at least a starter set as a gift. They will love you for it and you will get more great food out of them too.
Life is too short to use cheesy knives! You know the ones.

To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip.Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue.Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps.Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 9-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In deciding between Henckels Pro-S, Henckels Twin Cuisine or Wusthoff for my purchase, I went with the Twin Cuising based on the look. The knives have an elegant look, and still feel great in your hand. The grip may be too big for some people though. In hindsight I probably should have gone with the Pro-S due to the balance and feel of the blade. The back end of the Twin Cuisine is quite heavy and makes chopping and dicing a bit slower. I don't regret the purchase though, because these are very high quality knives that cut through anything quickly and efforlessly. Just be careful to watch where you fingers are while cutting. I felt no difference when the blade switched from cutting through a green pepper, to cutting through my thumb. Just for reference, this set contains:
8" Chef's Knife
7" Hollow Edge Santoku
6" Utility/Sandwich Knife
5" Serrated (tomatoe) knife
4" Paring knife
3" Kudamono Vegetable Knife (I've never used this one)
I find that I have more control over the chef's knife, but that the santoku is easier to cut with. I just switch back and forth each day. I would have gladly traded the 3" vegetable knife for an 8" bread knife, or 5.5" boning knife, but the set works fine and cuts brilliantly. My suggestion would be to go to bed bath or linnens and things to hold each blade (Twin Cuising, Pro-S, and Wusthoff) and choose what fits your hand best, you won't be dissappointed with either choice though.
