I chose the Gunther Wilhelm honing steel above others because of the pakawood handle, which it shares with my GW knives. Most others have plastic handles, as did the one I finally wore out after some 40 years of assiduous application to my knives, none of which has been technically "sharpened," for as long as four decades in my knife block. The GW steel is an awesome replacement.
I love the paring knife. It is very sharp and easy to use. I love the look of the knife as well.
I being a novice found it extremely long and decided to store it. I didn’t feel able to handle the length of the blade in a safely manner. I needed a 8 in. Fillet knife at the most for sure.
All other items in my purchase were and are A1. Happy and grateful.
These knives are made well and are sharp. They also have a great look and are easy to handle. You might want to invest in a box of bandaides if you’re not use to a sharp knife.
Decent knives but we feel misled as they are made in China, not Germany or USA as indicated by website. Hence the two stars. Please be more honest.
Perfect knives. Ordered two. Both great. Have been using knives from Gunter Wilhelm for over 20 years. Still using my original knives which I purchased from a Costco roadshow. Now I purchase directly from Gunter Wilhelm. These knives are wonderful. Have a great feel. Are easily sharpened. Just great. Also shipping was fast. Thank you for making such a great knife.
I called first as I had several questions. Was given great recommendations and information in order to steer me to the right appropriate knives. I’ve been using Gunter Wilhelm knives for over twenty years. They’re perfect. Have lasted beautifully through all the years. Would not buy anything else. This knife is perfect. Feels great in the hand and cuts like a gem
All the knives I bought from Gunter Wilhelm is superior quality, they look and feel very solid. Feel great in hand.
This knife is great! I can't say enough how awesome this knife fits my hand, as soon as I picked it up I knew this was going to be my new go to knife. It has not disappointed me one bit, I may need to purchase another to have as a spare.
Quality knife! Slices through hard crusty bread easily. The engraving adds a nice classy touch. Very happy with our purchase.
Gunter Wilhelm was recommended to us by our local breakfast chef. He pointed out how the knives are one piece, forged, and reasonably priced. We have not been disappointed as we expand our collection over time. The 9.5 inch bread knife is perfect for crusty sourdough, cranberry walnut, etc.
I have had this set for years and I love them. They stay sharp and very easy to reshaping if needed. Well balanced and comfortable handles.
