These are all good knives, so I say get them if they're what you want. I have an old Wusthof that my German grandmother picked up in Germany many years ago. It's the one possession I claimed when she passed away, and I enjoy using it and will treasure it forever, both because it evokes good memories and because it is comfortable in my hand and works beautifully.

But I want to throw something else out there that I'll probably catch some heat for: Winco Acero knives are dang near as good. Winco makes some complete garbage but their forged line using X50CrMoV15 steel are an incredible bargain. This is essentially the same steel that Wusthof uses for many of their knives, including the Classic line, if I'm not mistaken, meaning it does not offer the best edge retention but it is durable, easily sharpened and, stain resistant. The Acero paring and 6" chef's knife I have are my main go-to knives. No, they're not as fancy or as visually impressive, but if you're on a tight budget or aren't sure you want to invest a lot in higher end knives, they are a great choice. The paring knife is like $12 and various others are around $20 or under. Again, good Wusthof knives are wonderful and can be expected to last a lifetime, but for the price, I haven't found anything that beats WInco Acero.

If you are looking for a paring knife, the 4" one is a better length https://home.woot.com/offers/wust...g-knife-17

With that said, I wouldn't get a paring knife that isn't dishwasher safe. Just get a Victorinox - they are dishwasher safe, very high quality, and less expensive (although still expensive).

A $13 Swiss made Victorinox paring knife works just as well. Overpriced.

I got a serrated for $3.04 before tax.

The non serrated is $6.68 but out of stock.

non serrated swiss made one is the $13 one regular price. Not out of stock. I can't imagine the wusthof is worth anything close to $65 on sale or not on sale. Swiss made is not in any measurable way worse than German made. The knife does look nicer though, I'll give it that.

I'd gotten the 8 steak knives for $200 that usually comes along with these sales (but I don't see them this time) and have been pretty disappointed in them. Pretty thin blade and doesn't hold an edge for long at all. Just figured I'd drop a note for anyone else who may be considering those when they do go on sale.

It does not work just as well if you are cutting against your thumb, in your hand, etc. The thicker blade of a more expensive paring knife will give you greater control. I have both cheap and expensive, and the expensive is better. Is it worth $60? Up to you. But it definitely works better.

Don't know whether they are "better" than others of probably good quality knives, but when the handle started to delaminate, Wusthof did not require any proof of purchase to send me a new one. I just shipped the old one to them, and they just shipped me a brand new knife. Cost me like $5 to send them old knife.

Worth mentioning a good number of high end steakhouses use Winco steak knives in the dining room.

I would not recommend buying knives at woot. You can find better deals for better knives at Cutlery & More. Plus, you're supporting a small business and not feeding a giant (Amazon).

For paring knives, there is really no reason to go for premium.

A razor blade bound between two chop sticks cuts just as well as this knife and saves even more money over buying a Victorinox. So they say. If my $20 Soligen forged Four Star or $30 Zwilling PRO ever wear out maybe I give the chopstick trick a try. If the 7" Santoku is the same quality as my 5" Wusthof Solingen Santoku then it was the only deal here. Perhaps that's why it sold out fast.

Agree. It's not worth $65. The only brand I'm willing to pay that much for are Shun knives. The blade grind geometry makes a world of difference and the ony brand I've found that grinds with extreme precision is Shun. Cuts thru hard vegetables like butter.
