Amazon.com Review

From sirloin steaks to lamb shanks to turkey cutlets, this set of six steak knives delicately cuts whatever you're serving into bite-size pieces. Plus, the included six-slot oak block keeps the set within reach on the countertop. Part of Wüsthof's Gourmet series of knives, these steak knives are a less expensive version of the manufacturer's Classic series of cutlery. Although the blades are still made of high-carbon steel with a stain-resistant alloy, the difference is that they are made of a thinner quality metal and are cut by a precision laser instead of by hand. The blades still have an ideal shape as they are ground and polished by computer to ensure perfect tapering from tip to bolster. Full tangs extend through the synthetic traditional-style handles, which are triple-riveted for strength. These knives are dishwasher-safe but hand washing is recommended to preserve the edges on the blades. The Gourmet series is an excellent alternative for those who want to own quality Wüsthof cutlery but are on a budget. --Cristina Vaamonde

The knife set has been a good value for the price. I was a bit disappointed when I put them in the dishwasher and two of them had small rust spots, but they cleaned up well and are sharp. Not a bad deal for around $100.
blades very thin - Reviewed on 2008-02-13

The handles on these knives are very comfortable, and the non-serrated blades make a nice, clean slice. Unfortunately, the blades are very thin, and, in fact, the packages that I received had multiple broken knives upon arrival. (Amazon did immediately replace the broken ones.) I have found that I have to baby these knives while cleaning and storing since it is very easy to bend the tips. Too bad, because otherwise they would be perfect.

Metro Kitchen sent me a MUCH cheaper set than the item pictured here. The blades we not forged, instead they were thin stamped metal (rather than widening at the base of the handle), and the blade did not even go completely through the handle. They did send me a "Gourmet Steak Block Set", however the picture they user on Amazon is not the same set, and is therefore completely misleading as to the quality. They unapologetically offered to take the item back if I PAID THE RETURN SHIPPING! I have obviously contacted my credit card company....

Your choice, but I woul NOT do business with Metro Kitchen if I were you.

Treat these knives as you would your best Wustoff and you'll be rewarded. If you store these in a wooden block or case, ocassionally run the blades against the sharpening steel and hand wash and immediately dry the blades, they'll stay sharp and last for years.

If you want your cutlery to last and perform, NEVER, EVER put your knives in the dishwasher. Regardless of the price, top notch knives are not designed to be washed in a dishwasher, period. Don't be a lazy bum!
8/12 HANDLES BROKEN - Reviewed on 2004-08-16

I purchased two sets of these knives for x-mas 2002. Within 3 months 6 out of twelve knives had cracks on the handles in the same place, by now 8/12 have cracks in the handles. We wash them in the dishwasher along with our other Wusthof knives and the other more expensive Wusthof knives have never had a problen. Also when washing these in the dishwasher the steak knives get rust stains on them that we have to polish by hand. I have been very dissapointed with the quality of these steak knives and will try to contact the company about the warranty.
