Wüsthof 8-Piece Stainless-Steel Steak Knife Set with Wooden Gift Box

Wüsthof 8-Piece Stainless-Steel Steak Knife Set with Wooden Gift Box Review

I am blessed with gorgeous (inherited) nouveau-style sterling flatware from the thirties, plus heavy (inherited) colonial-style silverplate from the early 1900s. I also have my own very practical stainless that goes in the dishwasher. Guess which we use every day? But these steak knives go with all of it. I've had four of them since the four-knife set was on sale for a song, several years ago. Today I'm purchasing the eight-knife set, since I'm tired of the bulky "other" steakhouse-style set we've been using. It doesn't look good with the silver. And, I don't care about the box; you should see the one my silverplate lives in!

These are the best steak knives ever. They even go through the dishwasher from time to time and so far they're still sharp. I also like the slender tip, since it's easier to get that last bit of porkchop from the bone.

Three days later: Okay, I just received the eight-knife set. There are some differences: the blade is 1/4" longer, and the handle is 1/2" longer. The handles are also squared-off at the end rather than semi-circular. This design makes them heavier... better for big hands, but less deceptively delicate-looking. They're more like my other Wusthof knives. I still like them (and my husband likes them better than the others) but these definitely are more workhorse than racehorse. They're not quite as pretty on the table, but the added heft makes up for it.

The box is better than I expected. I'll probably spray-flock the interior someday, since not all the inside of the box is stained and finished like the outside. No urgency, though, as I found the knives can't move around much once they're slotted in. I doubt the small bit of wood lifting the blade up off the bottom will dull the blades.

The box is quite pretty, actually.
