"All knives are the same, just blades with handles, so why bother spending much on them. This stuff about heft and balance is so much marketing gumpf aimed at extracting more of my cash", well that was what I thought but how wrong I was. A present of some Wusthof knives opened my eyes; they are good, very good. I now regret having wasted time and money on cheap shiny rubbish that after initial use never took an edge, they mostly ended up in the garage or garden.

Professional chefs cherish their knives and Wusthof knives, from Solingen, have been a prized item for over 100 years. Today they offer an incredible variety of over 200 styles.
