WUSTHOF Epicure 2-Piece Prep Knife Set Review

The WÜSTHOF Epicure 2-Piece Prep Knife Set is a beautifully-crafted set of professional knives. The Epicure line has newly re-designed blade shapes and handles made with a mid-tone, wood composite material. The 2-piece set includes a 3 1/2" Paring Knife and a 6" Cook's Knife.



This is one of the most gorgeous knife sets I have laid eyes on. The handles are particularly aesthetically pleasing. The full tang is covered by a beautiful brown wood material. It is actually the same material used to make Epicurean's signature cutting boards. The handle is finished with two stainless steel rivets just like the other knives made by WÜSTHOF.



The blades have the same razor sharpness that WÜSTHOF knives are known for having. The German steel holds up well and the knife stays sharp for a long period of time. Regular sharpening is sure to keep these knives ready to use for a lifetime. 



These are two types of knives essential to have in any kitchen, whether you cook often or not. The 6" Cook's Knife is a versatile knife that can be used for a multitude of tasks. The blade has a unique shape that varies from a typical chef knife's design. I think this is the best tool for slicing or dicing an onion.



The 3 1/2" Paring Knife is best for delicate food prep. It can be used to mince garlic or ginger, or to slice fat off of meat. It is a handy knife that gives you the control. Together with the Cook's Knife, you can complete a full meal with ease. 



I think this is one of the most beautiful, functional, and comfortable knife sets on the market. The unique design features make it stand out amongst competitors.
