Great Stones. Fast removal of steel. No need to soak for long periods of time.

I just received my two new slotted spatulas. They’re so useful and even though I have an older Wusthof spatula, they’re handy to have when we’re feeding a crowd. As usual, Paul’s service was fast - even faster than promised. I have been buying knives and kitchen tools, for personal and gift uses, from Paul for more than 15 years and frankly, I can’t imagine buying from any other place.

Beautiful sharp knife. Great for slicing bread or carving a roast.

I was a bit hesitant at first and had a hard time deciding between this and the field holder, I’m glad I went with this one. This is very heavy, and high quality like all of the Shapton glass products I have used so far. Works exactly as intended, fits the glass stones perfectly, and raises them to a comfortable height, while keeping very stable due to the weight and rubberized surfaces. As a bonus I’ve noticed it also fits the Atoma 210X70mm diamond plate perfectly. Finally, as I’ve come to expect, Paul’s shipping times and customer service are top notch.

I picked theses as my first set of sharpening stones after doing a little research and deciding to go with a higher end option. I liked the idea of having fairly compact set of stones that would last a long time, and I felt the all white and uniform look was kinda cool. The stones shipped quickly and arrived sooner than expected, in perfect condition, however the sharpening guide was missing from my order. I contacted Paul to let him know, he responded almost immediately and fixed the problem without hesitation. As for the stones, they have been great so far, and I’m learning faster than I expected. But the real standout here is the customer service, I must say I have been blown away by how friendly, helpful, and quick Paul had been in all of our communications. You really can’t go wrong ordering from him.

I purchased a rust eraser primarily for cleaning Shapton Glass stones in between flattering them. It works excellent for this purpose, cleaning the stones perfectly without causing a significant amount of wear to the stones or eraser. I have also used the eraser for its intended purpose, cleaning up an old rusted blade very quickly and throughly. An overall excellent and affordable product.

This is the second Wusthof Super Slicer bread knife for us. We purchased this second one (the 10-inch Wavy Edge, model 4519) after our adult son bought us one for Christmas 2020. We've had various bread knives over the years, and our best blade so far was one of those wood-framed "bow" knifes that limits the depth of cut, but for all homemade "pandemic" bread we've been making, we've been cutting more bread than ever. Well, this Wusthof is a godsend. Who knew that cutting bread could be so satisfying!! This knife is a weapon, almost a sword. It works so well, we bought this second one for the cottage as once you've used it, going back to the old standby was just not an option. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

Great set of stones. excellent feedback and loadup is manageable. Hoping for many years of sharp knives with this set.

Very high quality and beautiful knife for the price. Was looking at the more mainstream Japanese knives like shun, and I feel that I got a very high quality Knife that is a pleasure to use and also to look at.
Love the shape for cutting vegetables, but it is also very capable For most kitchen cutting tasks due to the gyuto style tip. Very high quality and versatile knife to have in the kitchen.
