Class Knife Block for Best Bargain Price

Have approximately 2 weeks lays about what to buy. Was even in stores and have seen that there are knives and each me the processing and especially the situation in hand watched (grip position generally, balance).

I had to get it to complete only briefly looked at these and on the shortlist:
WMF Grand Gourmet
WMF Grand Class
Wusthof Grand Prix II
Würsthof Classic Ikon
Twin Twin Gourmet
Ziwlling Twin 4 stars
Fissler profession

Priced these knives are up to the Fissle, the Ikon and the Grand Class series quite close to each other. The other I would get with a clear charge.

But - no were so good in the hand as the Wüsthof knives. While here you have a slightly slippery plastic handle, denonch are the measure of my hand shape perfectly. Maybe like another here have another sense, therefore it is recommended not just to buy, but definitely to test! For example, the WMF -> were also great in the hand.

Then I looked if I can find the Grand Prix II series in the network - the extras in the store I pay in most cases - unless I get such a good advice or discount offers.

The MSRP of Wüsthof for block 299 EUR, Wüsthof himself gives him currently out for 255 EUR. On Ebay I found him for 164 EUR. Here at Amazon I found him by this one seller, Eight Tower. And then we jumped the eyes out of his head, there was the black block at the time of purchase for 135 EUR !!!! the "natural" block for 170 EUR.

Click - buy!

And what can I say - just great! The knives are really schwarf. The smaller knife I'll probably rarely need, because I'm a fan of big heavy blades, for example, even when cutting small things like carrots or tomatoes. The block itself is stable and looks chic. Incl. scissors and sharpening steel makes the block a great figure.

Will this set but still expand a 2-3 diameter, with a magnetic rail. Will probably still a Santoku knife and definitely buy a tomato knife. If necessary, even a meat cleaver. The nice thing is that one is not necessarily tied to the series - Wüsthof is by design not deviated too much from the GPIIb towards Ikon series. Therefore, there are opportunities crossing and it still looks top off.

Strong buy recommendation for all those who need a very good knife block, whether for beginners like me, or advanced cooking fans.
