Product Description
The Wusthof Grand Prix2 8 piece block set comes with a wide variety of useful knives. The set includes a 3.5" parer for peeling and paring, a 5" boning knife for deboning poultry and fish, a 8" carving knife for slicing and carving, a 8" Cooks for chopping and dicing, a 8" bread knife for cutting those crusty loaves of bread. Also included are Come Apart kitchen shears for triming herbs or a variety of other house hold chores, a 17 slot block to store your Grand Prix2 knives and a honing steel to keep you knives sharp and ready to use. Wusthof Grand Prix2 knives are made in "The Cutlery Capital of the World", Solingen Germany. Each manufacturing step is performed to exacting standards by skilled German workers aided by the most modern, computer guided equipment. Some of our precise steps are done robotically and utilize the same machinery that are used to produce very well known Swiss Watches. It is this balance of German technology and old world hand craftsmanship that is the secret of how each WÜSTHOF knife is created. Known the world-over for it’s unique and uncompromising quality, Wusthof uses a special blend of German steel through out the whole length of the knife. The ingredients of this steel are proudly etched on each blade. Wusthof not only uses the best materials to make a fine knife, but it is also crucial that each blade is precisely tempered. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time, yet still be able to be maintained in your home kitchen with out the need to be sent away for maintenance. Our unique compound angle is not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility.

Perfect!
By Booch
This is an excellent set of knives. I wanted Wusthof's Grand Prix II series because of the quality and value. They are very sharp and Wusthof has a great reputation for lasting quality. The cook's knife is my favorite. It has a nice weight to it and is balanced at the bolster. This particular set is the best in the Grand Prix II series in my opinion. Most cutlery sets include several utility knives and paring knives which isn't all that useful to me. This set has everything the average cook would need. I may purchase the fillet knife separately since it is flexible and I like to fish. Although, most people probably wouldn't need that considering a boning knife is included and you would need to buy an expensive set to get the fillet knife included. As for the lack of steak knives, I would rather save the money and buy a cheaper set. A Grand Prix II block with the steak knives included is at least $500 and the 6-piece steak knife set is over $200 by itself. Wusthof makes a nice stainless steel steak knife set for about $60 that I'm looking into. The only thing I would consider "budget" about these knives are the plastic handles. However, even though they are plastic, they still feel nice and are good quality. Plus, a comparable set in Wusthof's Classic series--which has wood handles--would cost an extra $100 to $200 more. Overall this is a great set and I highly recommend them!

Amazing knifes! They are sharp, sturdy, heavy and feel good on the hand. Package arrived as promised, nicely packed, but the only thing i was not complitely happy is the wood block...as some previous review mentioned is not as classy as the knifes is holding. Dont get me wrong cause is good, but for the knifes i ordered I was expecting a more classy one. I recommend it

I chose this 8pc. Deluxe set because of the variety of knives that came with it. Most sets throw in the cheaper paring or utility knives. This one has a carver and a boning knife which give you a lot more flexibility, being able to choose the right knife for the job. I'd describe the Grand Prix as higher quality cutlery and it appears to be a line that is fairly available in stores and on the internet to be able to add add'l pieces. The block that this set comes with allows for this. I've been using these for a month now and am very pleased with my purchase. It has made kitchen detail a lot more fun and enjoyable as the work takes so much less effort. All in, I paid about $260.
