Wusthof Grand Prix 10-Piece Cooking Couple's Knife Set with Block

Amazon.com Review
Durable fiberglass/nylon handles that fit the hand snugly and are subtly pebble-grained to resist slipping when wet distinguish Grand Prix knives from Wsthof's other cutlery lines. Otherwise, Grand Prix knives are identical to other Wsthof knives, embodying all the virtues that have earned the German manufacturer world renown. The principal parts of a Wsthof knife--blade, bolster, and tang--are forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, and the blade is precisely tapered from bolster to tip and from back to hand-honed edge. Blades and beautifully formed bolsters are not as thick as some knives'. As a result, despite their heft, strength, and durability, Wsthof knives are pleasingly delicate and marvelously balanced in action.

Perfect for the couple who cook together, the eight kitchen knives in this set exemplify the control of Wsthof knives while providing the couple with a variety of cutting edges: 8-inch and 6-inch cook's knives (chef's knives) for chopping and mincing tasks; an 8-inch serrated bread knife; a 9-inch carving knife for roasts, poultry, and ham; a 6-inch sandwich knife and a 4-1/2-inch utility knife for myriad slicing and cutting needs; a 5- inch serrated tomato knife; and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. The set also includes a 10-inch sharpening steel for keeping knife edges aligned, and a 15-slot maple block (including six slots for adding steak knives) to store everything on the counter. Like all fine cutlery, these knives should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
