Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Emerilware by W?sthof 8-Inch Bread Knife and Bamboo Cutting Board Set
Customer Review: Buy as a starter only
Summary: 2 Stars
The knife feels cheap in your hand, it is not what you expect from Wusthof. My cutting board warped within two months and now is nearly unusable. Spend some more money and get a better product.Customer Review: Fine at reduced price
Summary: 4 Stars
At $40, pass on this pair, but at about half that cost, you'll be very pleased. The size of the board was no surprise to me, as I looked at its image compared to the image of the knife. The knife is just fine for bread, which is what it's sold for. If you're looking for a carving knife, make another selection. Need a paring knife? Not this one. Bread knife? Yep, this is it. I also use it for tomatoes and cake. The only knife I own that I run through the dishwasher.Customer Review: Serves its purpose
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this and the similar chef's knife set on a 1-day sale; this one, at least, was a decent deal.
Knife is v. sharp (at least for now), but not sturdy; fine for bread. Board is oddly shaped, long and narrow, but again, fine for bread.
On sale for $20, it's a good light-duty knife. At $39.99, not so much.
Customer Review: ...very decent knife and board.
Summary: 4 Stars
The blade is ideal..it is not in IMHO thin. It is sharp...be careful.
Designed to cut most breads. If you have special needs than perhaps a different knife is required. I also have a Chicago bread knife that is longer for bigger/crustier loaves. Considering what many people use out there this is VERY good.
The board is not large..than again the picture illustrates that. No surprise. What I like about the board .. the easy grab sides. The board is not too thick and has non skid rubber tabs.
I too paid $14. At the current $40..I would look at other knives and boards.
Customer Review: Somewhat disappointing
Summary: 4 Stars
I was disappointed in the quality of the knife -- thin, flexible blade, although it is better than the slicer also in this line. And the board is so small that it really is useless to me. There are much better knives at this price point ... including OXO, Victronox and Anolon. Don't let the Wusthof name fool you. Don't let the Emeril name fool you either.
I gave it four stars because the price was right -- $14 -- and it was better than the slicing knife in the same line. I rarely need a bread knife, so it will do. But I'm still thinking about returning it.
