Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of W?sthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set
Customer Review: You get what you pay for (and I mean that as a compliment)
Summary: 4 Stars
I essentially agree with what other reviewers have written (except that Mn is molybdenum- Mn is manganese, Mo is molybdenum). Are they of the superior craftsmanship of the Wusthof Classic line? No, they are not. But at a fraction of the price of Classic, you already knew they wouldn't be. The plastic handle and thinner steel do feel a bit on the cheap size when holding the knife, but they look great alongside the rest of our Wusthof cutlery (which is why my fiance and I bought them). And don't worry about performance; all meats that I've cut succumb nicely to the straight edge blades. What I can't comment on is the blades' longevity. We've only had them a short while, and I don't know how they'll hold their edge.
My final word on them is that those who can afford the Classic line (and I truly wish I was one of them) should purchase the Classic. But for those who can't, don't be shy about purchasing Gourmet. You'll get what you pay for, and since you're paying for Wusthof, how disappointed can you be?
Description of W?sthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set
Handsome and precise, these razor-sharp Steak Knives by Wusthof Gourmet easily cut the thickest steaks and chops. Made of the highest quality high-carbon stainless steel to hold a sharp edge and resist stains and rust, every Wusthof knife is hand-forged by skilled craftsmen in Solingen, Germany. Full tangs provide maximum safety and perfect balance, and the durable riveted handles are dishwasher safe (hand washing will protect the blades and keep knifes sharper longer). Lifetime warranty.Moderately priced companions to W?sthof's renowned Classic forged knives, Gourmet Series knives have the same full-tang, three-rivet, virtually indestructible poly handles as Classic knives. Instead of being forged, however, Gourmet Series blades are cut from steel sheets by precision lasers. That means they have no bolsters. But it also means they are perfectly shaped and fit their handles seamlessly. And the blades' high-carbon stainless steel is identical to that of W?sthof's premium knives, only thinner. The four steak knives in this set have straight edges for neatly slicing steaks, chops, and roasts into bite-sized pieces at the table. At 4-3/4 inches, they're long enough to handle the biggest porterhouse yet are nicely balanced and light in the hand. The knives are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to protect their edges. --Fred Brack
