Wusthof Classic Colour 8 Pcs Designer Knife Block Set – Wild Blueberry

These are the only block knife sets I will purchase. They work great and last a long time. The set comes with lots of variety and the knives are easy to sharpen. I love that the scissors are included as they are the best food grade scissors I have ever used! They are a little pricey but well worth it in my option because of the quality of the knives and they last forever! One tip I’ve learned is to never put them in the dishwasher alway hand wash quality knives and they will last forever!

We received the Wustof 15 piece knife set and block for a wedding present and it has been one of the most utilized things that we got. We use these knives on a daily basis. They are extremely durable, having lasted for more than 5 years and only having to be sharpened on time. They are comfortable in your hand and have different styles for your cutting needs. The kitchen shears have been essential in cutting up our children’s food into bite sized pieces. My favorite part is the block is very attractive and fits our decor perfectly!! This is the perfect set!!

I typically don’t buy block knife sets. I have several wustof knives that I have bought individually as well as a mix of Zwilling knives. Though I do cook much more often than my elderly mother I wanted to buy her a nice set for her birthday. It’s been a little over 7 months and she still raves about this set I got her. I do have to sharpen them more often than my individual knives I’ve purchased from wustof but she absolutely loves this set and tells everyone they are the best knives she has ever known.

These are definitely good knives but they also have clear issues... To get the bad part out of the way, for one the scissors came broken. Like when you open them too far to cut something the ends fall off of each other so you have two separated sides....BUT I did hold them together to try how they worked and they cut really well. Of course these ones are unusable unless you want to hold them together but I can assume a non broken pair would work really nicely. Secondly the little logo peels off which really bugs me, like you can't even tell the brand anymore cause it's some sticker material that peels off. For the price I paid I didn't expect a stick on logo. Lastly they have to be sharpened VERY often, more often than any other knives I've used. But all of these ... MoreThese are definitely good knives but they also have clear issues... To get the bad part out of the way, for one the scissors came broken.

But all of these things are nit picky or flukes (broken scissors) and overall they DO cut really well. At the end of the day I still would suggest these to others if you don't care about small issues that don't effect the actual cutting.

Perfect set. Our most used are the chef knife, the bread knife, the 4 inch (?) knife, and the shears. The longer thinner knife is not as useful for me but my husband loves it. Nice to have extra slots for any additions. I personally like this Classic style the best. Feels heavy and well made but not overly done-up or fancy. Just a solid classic set of essentials. Toss your other knives!

It’s…fine. I know in my heart that I’m supposed to hand wash these knives to make them last longer, but I’m busy. I know the laziness costs me, but it’s a real hassle to always have to treat my knives that cook basic meals the same way a celebrity chef would. I know that’s self-centered, but I suppose that’s a kitchen priority for me. Aside from the pain in the upkeep, these knives work really well and look great on the counter.

I compared Wüsthof with Zwilling JA Henckels. Who knew one degree could make a difference? The Wüsthof brand is sharpened at a 14° angle while Zwilling is sharpened at a 15° angle this means the Wüsthof knives are sharper. The Wüsthof steel blades are also harder allowing them to keep the edge longer. These are also forged knives meaning they’re more durable than stamped knives. I got my knives at a steal of a deal for $200 (normally it’s a $600 set).

Beautiful Knives

Beautiful set of knives. Cut really well. I purchased the blueberry and they are really pretty knives. I honestly brought them for the looks and it is a bonus that they also cut really well:).

Knives great, the block peeling paint

Disappointed. I wanted these knives because of the block. The knives are great. Super sharp. We've had them 3 weeks and the paint on the block is discoloring and peeling. Not worth the money.

Perfect knives

I’ve had my Wustof Classic knives for over 20 years and they’re still perfect. They’ve been professionally sharpened many times and are still used multiple times a week. The only negative thing I can say is I love the newer Velvet Oyster color but have no reason to replace my perfect old knives with boring black handles. They’re great knives. Get a color you can see yourself liking for 20+ years.
