Its history is dating back to the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century when it was founded in Germany. Its headquarter is in Solingen, Germany, the \u201cCity of Blades\u201d which is often considered the capital of the knife-making world. <a href=\"https:\/\/pickmyknife.com\/ja-henckels-knife-set-reviews\/\">Zwilling J.A. Henckels<\/a> has its headquarter there as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Wusthof Epicure line of knives is one of the company\u2019s premium lines with single knives often costing more than 100 dollars. The philosophy behind the line is supposed to combine the effectivity and lightness of Japanese knives, and the German quality and safety.<\/p>\n<p>All knives in this line are forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 steel and hardened to 58 HRC. The whole manufacturing process involves more than 40 different steps.<\/p>\n<p>The knives can be bought either as single pieces or as <a href=\"https:\/\/pickmyknife.com\/chicago-cutlery-reviews\/\">knife sets<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!--[table id=15 \/]--><br \/>\n<span class=\"quick-notice\">In a hurry?

that are common for all the knives of the line.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full tang construction<\/strong> \u2013 All knives in the line are full tang, meaning they are made of a single piece of steel from the tip of the blade all the way to the back of the handle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wider blades <\/strong>\u2013 The blades are slightly wider than other knives by Wusthof. This provides extra knuckle clearance and in turn, makes the knives a nice choice for people with larger hands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pronounced curve at the tip<\/strong> \u2013 The tip is not as pointy as on other knives, which may be a pro or a con depending on what you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Composite handles<\/strong> \u2013 The two-rivet handles are made of resin-impregnated recycled wood.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ceramic coating <\/strong>\u2013 All knives have ceramic-coated blades. The coating increases the hardness and protects the steel, and it is translucent \u2013 no funky colors here ????<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full or half-bolster<\/strong> depending on model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look at the <strong>Wusthof Epicure knife reviews<\/strong> now.<\/p>\n<h2>Wusthof Epicure Knife Set Reviews<\/h2>\n<h3>Wusthof Epicure Seven Piece Block Set<\/h3>\n<p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B07HXKWGKC\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Wusthof Epicure Seven Piece Block Set One Size Brown Stainless\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07HXKWGKC?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Wusthof Epicure Seven Piece Block Set, One Size, Brown, Stainless\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41JSjipLNIL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Wusthof Epicure Seven Piece Block Set, One Size, Brown, Stainless\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07HXKWGKC?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Wusthof Epicure Seven Piece Block Set, One Size, Brown, Stainless\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Wusthof Epicure Seven Piece Block Set, One Size, Brown, Stainless        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>Translucent ceramic coating on blade surface to increase hardness<\/li><li>Handle made of same wood composite found in epicurean cutting boards<\/li><li>Precision forged<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--orange rounded\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07HXKWGKC?tag=pmknife-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Current Price\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Current Price<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n<br \/>\nIf you\u2019d love to get an all-in-one solution, getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/pickmyknife.com\/cangshan-knife-set-reviews\/\">knife set<\/a> with block to hold the knives is a good idea. This way, you are usually also saving some money compared to getting the knives individually. And this applies to the Wusthof Epicure knife sets as well.<\/p>\n<p>This 7-piece set encompasses 4 different knives, kitchen shears, honing steel, and, of course, the wooden block.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the block. The wooden block is made of Acacia wood and it\u2019s pretty much the same block as those that come with other Wusthof knife sets. It has 15 slots. Yet, you are only getting 6 items with the set. This leaves you with 9 free slots, which you can use for other knives.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, there 4 Epicure knives included in the set:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pickmyknife.com\/miyabi-mizu-sg2-8-inch-chefs-knife-review\/\"><strong>8-inch chef\u2019s knife<\/strong> \u2013 this is the most important knife of any set<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>9-inch bread knife<\/strong> \u2013 this is a double serrated knife that\u2019s designed specifically for easy bread slicing<\/li>\n<li><strong>5-inch paring knife<\/strong> \u2013 this is an all-purpose knife that will help you greatly with smaller kitchen work \u2013 such as peeling fruits or vegetables<\/li>\n<li><strong>5-inch serrated knife<\/strong> \u2013 this is a utility knife that\u2019s great for example for slicing tomatoes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the selection of knives is not bad, I would personally add a boning knife and a slicing knife to the set. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no boning knife in the Epicure line.<\/p>\n<a class=\"aawp-custom-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07HXKWGKC?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Check on Amazon!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B07HXKWGKC\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Wusthof Epicure Seven Piece Block Set One Size Brown Stainless\">Check on Amazon!<\/a>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Wusthof Epicure Twelve Piece Block Set<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B07FKH84SH\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Wusthof Epicure Twelve Piece Block Set One Size Brown Stainless\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07FKH84SH?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Wusthof Epicure Twelve Piece Block Set, One Size, Brown, Stainless\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41tGuzKnd2L._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Wusthof Epicure Twelve Piece Block Set, One Size, Brown, Stainless\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07FKH84SH?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Wusthof Epicure Twelve Piece Block Set, One Size, Brown, Stainless\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Wusthof Epicure Twelve Piece Block Set, One Size, Brown, Stainless        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>Translucent ceramic coating on blade surface to increase hardness<\/li><li>Handle made of same wood composite found in epicurean cutting boards<\/li><li>Precision forged<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--orange rounded\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07FKH84SH?tag=pmknife-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Current Price\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Current Price<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n<p>If the 7-piece set wasn\u2019t good enough for you, consider looking at the 12-piece set. The set comes with the exact same knives and tools as the 7-piece set. The wooden block is the same as well.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the smaller set, Wusthof added 5 knives, but only of two types. You will get one 9-inch slicing knife, which I think is an essential knife, and you will also get 4 steak knives. I hear you saying that\u2019s not much for such a huge price increase. And it might be true especially if you are not a fan of steaks. What\u2019s the point of having steak knives when you are vegetarian, right?<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you really would like to have the steak knives, this set still might be a great choice as the 4-piece steak knife set is about 400 bucks alone.<\/p>\n<p>To sum up, with this set, you are getting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>8-inch cook\u2019s knife<\/strong> &#8211; the most important knife of any set<\/li>\n<li><strong>9-inch double serrated bread knife<\/strong> &#8211; a knife designed primarily for slicing bread<\/li>\n<li><strong>5-inch paring knife<\/strong> &#8211; an all-purpose kitchen knife<\/li>\n<li><strong>5-inch serrated knife<\/strong> &#8211; a knife that will take care of the pesky tomatoes<\/li>\n<li><strong>9-inch slicing knife<\/strong> &#8211; a perfect choice for slicing ham or meat<\/li>\n<li><strong>Four steak knives<\/strong> &#8211; a set of knives for steak lovers<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stainless honing steel<\/strong> &#8211; used for the regular knife edge maintenance (not for sharpening)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stainless steel shears<\/strong> &#8211; your all-purpose kitchen shears, that can be taken apart for easy cleaning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are a fan of Japanese knives, you may consider adding the Epicure <a href=\"https:\/\/pickmyknife.com\/shun-hiro-sg2-7-inch-santoku-knife-review\/\">Santoku knife<\/a> to the set.

These two types of knives are the most used knives in any cook\u2019s kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, the chef\u2019s knife has a 6-inch blade coated with translucent ceramic material. The size might not be ideal for someone preferring longer blades. On the other hand, it may be a great choice for women.<\/p>\n<p>The paring\u2019s knife size is I would say perfect. There&#8217;s no need for it to be bigger.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a full bolster on both knives.<\/p>\n<p>Both knives sport the same wood-resin handles which are incredibly smooth. Contrary to what you may think, they do not tend to slip from your hand.<\/p>\n<p>All-in-all, a perfect choice for all the chefs out there.

If you\u2019d like to buy all the Epicure knives but don\u2019t want to dish out so much money at once, the chef\u2019s or the <a href=\"https:\/\/pickmyknife.com\/misono-ux10-santoku-knife\/\">Santoku knife<\/a> is the best first knife to get.<\/p>\n<p>With its smooth resin-impregnated wooden handle, the knife feels very well in one\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel the 8-inch blade is way too long for you, don\u2019t worry. There\u2019s also a 6-inch version of this knife available. And it is a bit cheaper as well.<\/p>\n<a class=\"aawp-custom-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00GCIY4F6?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Check on Amazon!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B00GCIY4F6\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Wusthof Epicure Cook s Knife 8 Inch\">Check on Amazon!<\/a>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Wusthof Epicure Santoku, Hollow Edge<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B00GCIYBQI\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Wusthof Epicure Santoku Hollow Edge One Size Brown Stainless\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00GCIYBQI?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Wusthof Epicure Santoku, Hollow Edge, One Size, Brown, Stainless\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/21rpHvRvCcL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Wusthof Epicure Santoku, Hollow Edge, One Size, Brown, Stainless\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00GCIYBQI?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Wusthof Epicure Santoku, Hollow Edge, One Size, Brown, Stainless\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Wusthof Epicure Santoku, Hollow Edge, One Size, Brown, Stainless        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>Translucent ceramic coating on blade surface to incease hardness<\/li><li>Handle made of same wood composite found in Epicurean cutting boards<\/li><li>Precision forged<\/li><\/ul>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--orange rounded\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00GCIYBQI?tag=pmknife-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Check Current Price\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Check Current Price<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n<p>The Epicure Santoku has pretty much all you need from a good Santoku knife. It is a <a href=\"https:\/\/pickmyknife.com\/best-nakiri-knives\/\">knife designed mainly for chopping vegetables, fruits, and herbs<\/a>. However, it can also be used as a general-purpose chef\u2019s knife. Just forget about chopping bones, otherwise, you are risking damage to the fin 10-degree edge.<\/p>\n<p>The blade of this Santoku is 7 inches long which is I would say the optimal size. It has the same translucent ceramic coating as the other Epicure line knives and there\u2019s only a half bolster. Also, it has a hollow edge, which prevents food from sticking to the blade as much as on the traditional western chef\u2019s knife.<\/p>\n<p>The handle features two rivets and is made of cellulose fibers impregnated with resin. It feels nice in hand and looks pretty good as well.<\/p>\n<p>All-in-all, this is a fresh take on the <a href=\"https:\/\/pickmyknife.com\/best-santoku-knives\/\">traditional Santoku<\/a>, which works very well as proven by the positive response from the customers.<\/p>\n<a class=\"aawp-custom-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00GCIYBQI?tag=pmknife-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"Check on Amazon!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B00GCIYBQI\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Wusthof Epicure Santoku Hollow Edge One Size Brown Stainless\">Check on Amazon!<\/a>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Consequently, this is the end of our article dedicated to Wusthof Epicure knife reviews.
