Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not a Good Deal
These knives are pretty cheesy--I was very dissapointed with them. They are extremely lightweight, flimsy and not at all what I would have expected from Wusthof.
Rating: - Okay Starter Set at Best
I purchased these knives on the strength of the Wusthof name and my expectation that these would replace an old set of stamped steel Japanese knives I purchased almost 15 years ago. Personally, I think that my older knives are better balanced and more solid than this particular set from Wusthof.The blades are sharp, for sure, and the chef's knife did a great job of dicing root vegetables. However, the knives are very light weight, and prone to spotting if you (foolishly, I'll admit) let them set in the sink. Also, the knives do not fit well in the block, so when you reach for one, you end up knocking one or two others out of alignment or, in some cases, out of the block. The honing rod is in an awkward position, too, and blocks access to any knife immediately below it. I was very disappointed, and ended up giving away the set (used, can't return to Amazon) to a friend who needed a basic starter set. I plan to be more cautious next time, and do some hands-on shopping before I buy a new set. When buying kitchen knives, you get what you pay for -- even if they're from a well-known and respected manufacturer.
Rating:  - "Silverpoint" knives are not forged
When I tried to research the "Silverpoint" knives, the following was the only information that was readily available,
"Wusthof Trident's Silverpoint line of household knives and tools resembles the Grand Prix style of handle. The smaller Silverpoint line consists of primarily tools, and a small selection of knives where the heft and expense of forging may not be required. The knives from this family are not forged."
These knives are much lighter that I would have expected. They arrived very sharp and so far, have held their edge nicely. My old kitchen knives were falling apart, but I wasn't ready to spend the money to get a set of the Grand Prix or the Classic. I was looking for a set of okay kitchen knives. These knives will be a good transition. I can slowly purchase the Grand Prix one at a time and put them in this block.
