I am familiar with the Wusthoff knives as I already own a few of their kitchen knives. I was missing a set of steak knives and these are perfect. The knives match the description and picture exactly. The wooden box is very nice too. I guess you could use these every day as other reviewers mentioned but I like to keep them for a special occasion when dressing a nice table for the holidays or for a nice sit down dinner. I will actually be using them tonight! These are also great for a housewarming or wedding gift.
