Review on Wüsthof Classic 9 Piece Acacia 1090170911 by Kathy Velez

Yes, it is very expensive. Now consider that they come with a lifetime replacement guarantee and that they are extremely sharp and can be sharpened over and over again. Please also note that they are of excellent workmanship and their design prevents food from getting caught between the handle and the blade (only available in the classic version). Now ask yourself a $120 Ginsu knife set that will stay sharp for a year or two before needing replacement. Please also consider (if you are interested in these things) that Red Label Wüsthof knives are not only knives, but also a decoration and a timeless fashion trend on your kitchen table are knives that you like to flaunt. (Ginsu is the knife you hide in your desk drawer). With all of these reasons, you might have found a reason why people would buy a $600 knife set. My only advice is that the 4 steak knives this set has are not enough when I have company. I also bought a 4 piece set. The block does not hold additional steak knives.
