Now that is simply amazing!!!!! I may have to get a couple. Wife likes using the paring knives as the ones with larger handles don't work well in her arthritic hands. Looks like they aren't cheap but I need to get her a nice gift anyway. I'll look at them again for sure.
Henkel has a few different levels of knives, including models made in Germany that I would put up against anything. I went with the line they make in Spain, which have held up and are fantastic. That said, the Wustofs are the best.
In my best Crocodile Dundee voice: That's a sword, not a knife !!! Hey, I didn't revive this old thread .
How can I get a nice set of knives that are electrified to all but me!? My bride has no concept of knife use by style or of care for them let alone the value of a good knife. I lowered my head and said keep it and walked out of the room before I could not hold my inner head voices from becoming out of my mouth voices when I finally found my missing fillet knife in a drawer in the kitchen. It fit her hand so nice and used to really slice stuff nice and even opened boxes good until the tip got that bend on it prying frozen steaks apart. Those were the words I caught before the door shut. When I eventually came back in I almost lost it when she asked if I had any more like that one that was so nice.
Be careful. Like Henkel there are different quality levels in the Wusthof's too. The Gourmet is a lower quality line than the Classics.
Wow 3 years ago already. How fast does the time go and more importantly, where does it go? Well, 3 years later, the knives are still very sharp and are as they were when I got them. Havent had to sharpen, all I do is swipe them on the honing tool and viola!!! ... Use them all the time.
I bought WWW J A Henckles around 10 years ago. He wanted to handwash them since I cannot anymore and long story short it did not happen. Today, we have little rust spots on them, but...... the blades still sharpen well with the steel sharpener. Now, I need one of you men to train him on how to not use it on his hatchet or hunting knives and putting it back without cleaning it.
I may or may not have got caught using WWW's cutco hunting knife to punch drainage holes in plastic planter a decade or so ago Knife is still good, no worries
