Half-dozen high-quality stamped knives with triple-riveted handles.

Not worth the money

These "fine" knives doesn't stay sharp as long my Chicago Cutlery steak knives and the handles crack at the rivets. The logo-labels peel off leaving the adhesive on the handle. If they had a different sticker on the handle, they would be one quarter the price. I have a full set of Wusthof knives and there is no comparison.

excellent steak knives!

I hate when people complain about carbon steel knives rusting. These are not cheap stainless steel knives. They are carbon steel and carbon steel knives rust. Wash them by hand and dry them immediately. Just common sense people. These are great knives. My wife and bought a 18pc gourmet set for her mom and these are the exact same knives included in the set. They are not as rigid as the classics but they retain a razor-sharp edge and are comfortable in your hand and are affordable. What more could you want?

Good value in steak knives

I have a set of these steak knives and love them.
Unlike most inexpensive steak knives these knives are fine edge and not serrated. I like the cut of fine edge knives. They make clean cuts without shreading. These are stamped knives which are a lot less expensive than the forged Classic knives in my set but they look the same and for how much they are used they perform well at half the price of the forged knives. I have never had the rusting problem, but I hand wash all my knives. These are not stainless steel. I heard once that most of the time when knives rust it is because they are put in the dishwasher. The dishwasher leaves metal deposits on your flatware. When those deposits dry they turn to rust. Come to find out it is usually your dishwasher that is rusting when this happens. I never stick good knives in the dishwasher.

Flimsy

These are quite flimsy and develop rust spots extremely easily. Not the quality one would expect from this company. We have several of Wusthof Classic's line (Chef's, paring, utility, etc) have found them to be sturdy, true, well-balanced in the hand and have held up very well over the past 3 years in our busy kitchen. We didn't expect these steak knives to be of the same quality, but they were suprisingly low quality for the brand and the cost.

The quality is lacking.

These are not what you'd expect from Wusthof. The Wusthof symbol on the handle is a STICKER (!!!) which bleaches out after washing. Also, after 1 months use and washing, we're getting rust spots. While these knives are sharp, they are not holding up appearance wise. Very disappointed.
