If you prep a lot of fruits and vegetables in your kitchen, this is the set for you.br /br /The Santoku knife is lighter than a standard chef's knife. But this is what makes it so wonderful on fruits and vegetables. I have used it to carve prime rib (just to see how if worked) and it performed just as well as my chef's knife, except that it is a little smaller.br /br /I find that I use the Santoku 90% of the time in my kitchen. If you are diminutive female, this knife feels right in the hand since it is a little smaller than a standard chef's knife. I love the blade on this knife. It holds an edge much longer than my non-Wustof knives.br /br /The paring knife is nothing special. But it does have the same nice hard blade that is on the Santoku.br /br /You will not be disappointed in this purchase if you love to cook.br /

W?sthof Classic 2-Piece Asian Santoku and Paring Knife Set Feature

• 3-inch straight-edge parer and 7-inch hollow-edge santoku
• Hand-forged of high-carbon steel with stain-resistant alloy
• Precise tapering from grinding and polishing procedure
• Weighted bolster; full triple-riveted tangs
• Synthetic traditional-style handles

This two-piece cutlery set includes the two hardest working knives in Asian cooking. The 3-inch straight-edge paring knife peels fruits and root vegetables for cooking. The 7-inch Japanese santoku knife--a cross between a butcher knife and chef's knife in European cooking—-splits, chops, dices, and slices meats, vegetables, and fruit. Like all santokus, this one has a straight edge for precise chopping and also has a hollow edge (with indentations the size of fingerprints running along the edge of the blade) so that foods don't stick to the blade during slicing.p Part of Wüsthof's popular Classic line of cutlery, these knives have a very traditional design. Blades are hand forged from high-carbon steel so they retain their sharp edges longer and are easier to resharpen, plus they include a stain-resistant alloy. Blades are also ground and polished by computer to ensure perfect tapering from tip to bolster. A signature feature of Wüsthof knives, the weighted bolster gives these knives the perfect heft. For balance, full tangs extend through the synthetic handles and are triple-riveted for strength. I--Cristina Vaamonde/I Prepare authentic Asian-style meals with expert German craftsmanship. 6-1/2" Japanese-style santoku knife is a multipurpose gem for slicing, dicing or cubing. Its companion 3-inch paring knife is ideal for minor cutting jobs. Hand-forged in high-carbon steel alloy that's stain-resistant. Knives feature indestructible hand-buffed black handles with triple-riveted full tangs for maximum safety and superior balance.

Top notch knives... - D. Hall - North Carolina
Amazed with the quality of these knives. Plain and simple. Suggest them to anyone looking for good knives. I am shopping for the full set of Wusthof Classic knives after receiving these two. Wish I had invested in these years ago. Had no idea the difference they make in food preparation. Now I see why the cooks on TV look like they are slicing through things so effortlessly. It is because they are.

Best Knife Ever! - Delmar H. Ahleong Jr. - Chicago, IL
This is a great knife, and as I found out, a good all-around tool. At first glance one would think this knife has a very specific, limited purpose, but it has become the workhorse of my "fleet." Whether considering a chef's knife or a santoku, it's all a matter of personal preference. Try them both and pick the one that feels right. I'm glad I went with the santoku, and I couldn't be happier with the Wusthof Classic.
