A complete set from TV chef Emeril Lagasse and world-renowned knife maker Wusthof-Trident: 3-in. Paring Knife, 4.5-in. Utility Knife, 8-in. Bread Knife, 8-in. Cook's Knife, 8-in. Carving Knife, 9-in. Sharpening Steel, Kitchen Shears and 17-Slot Storage Block. Each knife is made with utmost attention to quality and detail. The high-carbon stainless steel blades are laser-cut for precision and consistency, and the non-slip black poly handles are triple riveted for durability. With great balance and substantial heft, these knives are a true pleasure to use for every day.

Too Light!!!
»
I have compared Wusthof and Henkels for awhile now and would have been happy with either "true" knife sets by these companies. This set on the Emeril line is not true Wusthof quality. The blades are thinner than my cheap Target set that I was replacing and the handles are plastic with the blade seemingly glued into place. I also bought the steak knife set and those did not even fit into the block they were meant to be in. I was not able to hold and feel these before I bought them, but the price was right ..... I thought! They'll keep me semi happy for the next few years but next time I'll make sure I get the real deal Wusthof.

Good for cutting vegetable but not through bony parts of fish and chicken. Otherwise, very sharp if maintained.

Too light for me
»
These knives were too light for me. The blades are super thin, and very sharp indeed, but the handle doesn't feel sturdy in my hand. I think I prefer something with more weight and substance. The handles are a lightweight, honed plastic. No chiseled edge in the cut of the handle. Something about that design and material choice for the handles contributes to my feeling that these knives are a little cheap. A friend of mine has the Wüsthof Gourmet set and I've always enjoyed using her knives. I think I'll get those after I return these.

Hope it lives upto the reviews

I purcased this as a housewarming gift for a good friend of mine. I gave it 5 stars because it seemed to be of good quality, my girlfriend loves the set and it was both affordable and I could feel good about gifting it. I looked at a ton of knife sets and finally decided on this one for it's long term durability.
