The same can be said for my moderately cheap costco knives (except the expensive part)

Update: I missed the Ambrosi Bros. Wusthof sale in September, so I went back to the drawing board. After some research, I decided to get one chef's knife now and hopefully a block of knives this next September. I ended up going to Ambrosi and getting the Wusthof Classic Ikon 6" - it's been such a blessing thus far. So sharp!

Just hone them after you wash the and they’ll be sharp for a hell of a long time.

Don't put them in the dishwasher!
I have a complete set of Wustof knives that I have had for +15 years. I sharpen them ~ 1-2 x per year with a choice sharpener. All of the knives that have been mentioned, I believe are worthy. Price has a point. Choose a set and build upon it. If you can get a good deal on any of these, that would be the starting place. I think all are full tang blades.

I'm actually dipping my toe into this market as well. Kitchen knives and a pre-seasoned cast iron skillet.
While my purchase of the kitchen knives will be based upon conventional home cooking I'm not opposed to taking into account their ability to cut human flesh should the zombie apocalypse occur. I'm not willing to go extravagant but an extra $10 to $20 dollars wouldn't be unreasonable. |

My wife bought me a carving knife for Christmas, and I liked the finish and feel of the brand so much I bought another chef's knife from them. I also did some research and bought ATK's recommended hand sharpener. Both are kick-ass so far and comparatively cheap.
Like Buehler has said repeatedly, hone that sucker and you'll be happy. Knife: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sharpener: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

I used a friend’s knife at the lake and it cut unbelievably clean.
Asked him where he bought it, he said it was a cheap generic knife. He uses an electric sharpener to sharpen it often. Surprised me. I did the same thing and I’ve been very happy. I was very close to dropping some major $$$$ too. |

If you are looking at Wusthof knives, be advised that there are different "levels" of their knives. If you can, go the extra bucks and get the Wusthof Classic. Much better steel and built to last a lifetime.
Wusthof Classic Chef Knife. ... Wusthof Classic Ikon Chef Knife. ... Wusthof Classic Ikon Creme Chef Knife. ... Wusthof Ikon (Blackwood) Chef Knife. ... Wusthof Epicure Chef Knife. ... Wusthof Le Cordon Bleu Chef Knife. ... Wusthof Grand Prix II Chef Knife. ... Wusthof Xline Chef Knife

Based on my research, you're absolutely right. I looked long and hard at Wusthof Gourmet series, but the difference between stamped and forged metal was enough for me to pull the trigger on the Classic Ikon. I want to be able to pass these knives on down the road.
