Dear Paul, The Wüsthof Culinar knives and stand arrived this morning. I am absolutely thrilled with how they look and how they feel in my hands. The sizing and shape is perfect for me. Now I'm finally experiencing the Wüsthof quality I have heard about for years. Using them today has been an absolute pleasure, and I love how they look in the stand. This set is going to turn eyes :-) Thank you again for your great service and super products.
A perfectly balanced, beautifully crafted, hard-working masterpiece. I'd take small exception with Chef Nakano's "Not for novices" comment - *any* cook's best friend is a great knife, and this is truly a great knife.
And Paul, your service is exceptional. Thanks!
