Wüsthof Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter Set
Wüsthof Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter Set
This is the set to buy if you want to start a knife collection properly or replace so-so tools with the best cutters available. The set’s 8-inch cook’s knife, a kitchen essential, performs a wide variety of cutting tasks, from fine chopping to dicing and slicing. The relatively small size and sharp point of the set’s paring knife make it ideal for handheld and other small or intricate cutting chores, such as vegetable peeling or mincing small quantities of herbs.
Part of the Classic series, these knives represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, they’re hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blades are exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when they’re honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handles that are triple-riveted for durability, this set brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners. –Arthur Boehm
Why allow frustration to ruin a delicious meal? You’ve taken the time to marinate, rub, or otherwise season your steaks or chops, and to cook them properly. Now don’t ruin all that by having to saw through the meat with a table knife! Instead cut clean, even slices to your exact specifications and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Viking knives are manufactured to the highest standards of excellence. The blades are made using a precise metal formulation to result in a blade that holds a better edge, is easy to sharpen, is rust and stain-resistant, as well as tough and durable. Viking knives are a sound investment in your culinary future.
Wüsthof Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter Set Review
I received this set of knives for my wedding 9 years ago. At the time I was young and hadn’t done much cooking and I didn’t see the need for such expensive knives. I found out quickly what a difference they make and they were the only ones I used. I then got suckered into a set of Cutco knives. While I can’t say they aren’t nice knives, my husband still prefers the Wusthof and we have since bought additional Wusthof pieces. I only cook 4 or 5 nights a week and I don’t see needing to replace these knives any time soon.
I’m now getting ready to purchase this set for my brother as a housewarming gift for his first apartment. Whether you’re looking at these for yourself or a wedding or housewarming gift, I highly recommend them.
