Summary: my best Wusthof knives!
Comment: I have 10 Wusthof kitchen knives and these feel better, cut better, look better and cost......more better?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent knife set, highly recommend!
Comment: If you prep a lot of fruits and vegetables in your kitchen, this is the set for you.
The Santoku knife is lighter than a standard chef's knife. But this is what makes it so wonderful on fruits and vegetables. I have used it to carve prime rib (just to see how if worked) and it performed just as well as my chef's knife, except that it is a little smaller.
I find that I use the Santoku 90% of the time in my kitchen. If you are diminutive female, this knife feels right in the hand since it is a little smaller than a standard chef's knife. I love the blade on this knife. It holds an edge much longer than my non-Wustof knives.
The paring knife is nothing special. But it does have the same nice hard blade that is on the Santoku.
You will not be disappointed in this purchase if you love to cook.

Summary: great knives
Comment: My boyfriend had been begging me to g et him new knives for his birthday, since he loves to cook. I saw that the description said, non stick because of the indented sides of the knives... well I have to say that the knives ARE really sharp, and DO slice tomatoes without having to hold them down, or mush them.. but the Knife is definitely not non-stick.. so they are pretty great.

Summary: Great set!
Comment: I've had this set for about 5 months now and it is WONDERFUL. Great combo of top quality knives. They are very well balanced. The Santoku can be used to cut anything from raw chicken to veggies and will cut as thin as you can bring yourself to try! The paring knife is a good compliment for smaller items.
Overall, this is a GREAT all purpose starter set. I would recommend getting some sort of storage for it though. I am about to order the 10 piece classic set because I love these so much!.

Summary: A comparison with the Henkel's 5 star santoku
Comment: I have a Henkel's 5 star 8" santoku knife that I really love and wanted to get something just like it for my parents for Christmas, since they have mostly cheap and dull knives. I always thought that Wusthof had comparable quality, and since the regular price of these knives were much more than I paid for my Henkel's, I figured these would be even better than what I have. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a knife. These Wusthofs are designed to be more lightweight. But my longer and much heavier 8" Henkel's santoku just feels more substantial, easier to use, and more versatile than these Wusthofs.
Also, I noticed that brand new, right out of the box, the Henkel's 5 star is super sharp and will slice anything that barely touches its edge. It cut so effortlessly. And that impressed me. But these Wusthof knives were not nearly as sharp coming out of the box. They had a holder set on the blade for safety, but it seemed unnecessary since it would take some effort to cut your fingers on the blade.
Again, if you're looking for lightweight this is probably the knife for you. But having used both this and the Henkel's 5 star 8" version, my preference is the heavier, sharper, and longer Henkel's 5 star.

Editorial Reviews:

Prepare authentic Asian-style meals with expert German craftsmanship. 6-1/2" Japanese-style santoku knife is a multipurpose gem for slicing, dicing or cubing. Its companion 3-inch paring knife is ideal for minor cutting jobs. Hand-forged in high-carbon steel alloy that's stain-resistant. Knives feature indestructible hand-buffed black handles with triple-riveted full tangs for maximum safety and superior balance.
