Product Description
The "Gourmet" series by Wusthof is their entry level line of cutlery, featuring full tangs with non-forged blades of high-carbon, rust-free alloy. The lightweight knives have high-impact plastic handles secured to the knives with three stainless steel rivets. Razor sharp cutting performance at affordable prices.
Amazon.com Review
Moderately priced companions to Wüsthof's renowned Classic forged knives, Gourmet Series knives have the same full-tang, three-rivet, virtually indestructible poly handles as Classic knives. Instead of being forged, however, Gourmet Series blades are cut from steel sheets by precision lasers. That means they have no bolsters. But it also means they are perfectly shaped and fit their handles seamlessly. And the blades' high-carbon stainless steel is identical to that of Wüsthof's premium knives, only thinner. The three paring knives in this set equip a kitchen for all essential "little" tasks. One knife has a 3-inch blade with a straight edge and a drop point, ideal for uniformly cutting carrots into disks or peaches into slices. Another has a 3-inch blade with a curved edge and a sharp point, ideal for peeling fruits and vegetables and removing blemishes. The third has a sharply curved blade known as a bird's beak for shaping vegetables. All three knives are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to protect their edges. --Fred Brack

Excellent knife set November 26, 2008
I bought this knife set mostly because i needed a paring knife. I also wanted the Wusthof brand since all of my other knives are that brand and have proved to be of superb quality.
The price is what attracted me to this set. I figured it would be better to get more knives for this price rather than one paring knife for about the same price. At first, wasn't convinced that I would use the other two knives with the set until I received them. Now i use the other two more than I use the paring knife. I use the curved knife for boning chicken theighs and for cutting the joints when I'm carving a whole chicken. Its the perfect size. The other utility knife I use for small cutting jobs like cutting a small piece of cheese for a snack or cutting the ends off of an apple, peeling an orange, or even cubing other veggies. These knives are very sharp and don't lose their edge easy. They are also very easy to sharpen. I recommend these to anyone!

Wusthof knives are the best knives ever. I got my first one free from a Central Market giveaway. The handles are very comfortable and they stay nice and sharp.

I really only use the 3 in paring knife. I have had this set for many years and recently bought it for a relative who was very pleased I did. The peeling and straight utility knives are seldem used but its nice to have them when you need them. The steel used in Wusthof knives seem to take and hold an edge better than any other knife I own. The 6 in chef knife completes the other 5% which is used for bigger jobs.
This place has great prices for the best of the best. Shipping was quick and the Amazon payment system works great.

All three knives are the Wusthof quality I expected. Three different shapes seemed over-kill at first - but I found them extremely useful. A well thought out product.
